Birthday Wishes, Alayna Leigh!!!

A very special young lady turns 8 today!! Happy Birthday, Alayna! PopPop and I love you very much and hope you have a wonderful day.

Alayna loves cats =D, so I decided to make her card using this cat from Unity. I paper pieced her with some A Muse tiny black gingham dp and SU! Melon Mambo card stock. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the ribbon is also  Melon Mambbo SU! I added a little bling with Spica pens on the eyes and heart charm. Alayna, I hope you like your card, sweetie!

Thank you for stopping by today as we celebrate Alayna's birthday, and I hope you have a great Tuesday.

Hugs,
Colleen

Quick Post, Quick Card

Using a sentiment shared by Papertrey Ink during their anniversary celebration, I made a quick anniversary card using some A Muse patterned paper.

Still trying to carve out some "me" creative time . . .

I so appreciate your visit today.

Quick and Easy

Busy, busy, busy! But so is everyone. I'm seriously in need of some creative release and hope to make up for lost time beginning now.

Here is a clean and simple birthday card that can go masculine or feminine depending on your choice of cardstock and designer paper. It's difficult to see in the photo, but I started with PTI aqua mist card stock stamped in versamark with a birthday background from Impression Obsession. Using some pp scraps to create presents, I cut the bows using a Memory Box die. The gold package is popped up adding some dimension.

I look forward to participating in some challenges this week, so stay tuned ;)

Thanks for taking time to stop by.

Hugs,
Colleen
