Birthdays Are the Best

Happy Birthday, Rachel! That's right, it's Rachel's birthday over at Hope Stamps Eternal and to celebrate, the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #56 is all about birthdays and cupcakes:)



Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #66 was a great inspiration for the layout of my card...and guess what? It's Karen's birthday, too!!! Happy, happy birthday, Karen!



I stumbled upon a new challenge, the Hoppy Spring Theme Challenge #1 over at DeNami Designs, so the bloom was a must!



When I started making this card, I realized that I didn't have the exact supplies I wanted. I would really love some Kraft colored grosgrain or twill...has anybody seen any of that out there in the paper-crafting world. I also need to get some plastic kraft buttons to add to my stash:)



Have a great week everyone!

Happy Mother's Day

How yummy do these cupcakes look? mmmm... Rachel's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #54 was the starting point for my card with that yummy peach color, and little leafy green. I was drawn to using this polka dot paper, too, which reminded me of that dotted decoration on those fab cupcakes.



Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #64 is the perfect layout inspiration for my Sunday cards...I look forward to her sketches every week:)



The theme challenge over at Pals Paper Arts, PPA37 calls for flowers. I just love button-style flowers:)



Well, folks, my vacation is over...back to work tomorrow! Though, dear hubby reminded me that we'll (the kids and I) have summer break in just 7 weeks:) Have a great week, everybody!
