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

OLW37 SentimentS

I must admit that when I first read this week's OLW challenge, I found it very er .... challenging. But I  had promised myself I'd  participate in more challenges, and so put the ol' thinking cap on and began perusing my stamps hoping for a light bulb moment of great inspiration. And this was what I came up with. The background stamp is from Stampin' UP! and the sentiment is from DeNami. I used SU! card stock in Kraft on the first card and Going Gray on the second. That's SU! white kraft ink and Colorbox Lipstick chalk ink on the sentiments, and I clear embossed after stamping. (Note to self: Turn off the ceiling fan before sprinkling embossing powder.) Maybe I still have "it" after all :D  This card just "feels" good. You know what I mean.

Thank you for taking time to visit today.

Hugs,

Colleen

Happy Birthday, Lana!!

Today is my step-sister's birthday, so I thought I'd share her card and gift and take the opportunity to announce to the world that she's another year older =D

If anyone needs information on the products used, just shoot me an email. I really must get some dinner on the table . . . my husband likes to eat.

Hugs,
Colleen
