My last diaper cake sold!

Hi everyone,
I was inspired to post this because another crafter, Callie, shared her creation. She did a wonderful job with hers.  I just recently sold this one to a co-worker for his second child.  This is the last completed one I had in stock.  Everyone I have made these for recently have had boys, so I was glad someone finally had a girl.  I have to give my sister-in-law credit for taking this fantastic picture of it.  Thanks Jo!  I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I am hoping to post some card creations again soon.  Thanks for popping by!

25th Anniversary

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a nice weekend.  It was beautiful and sunny here.  This is the card I made for my sister-in laws 25th wedding anniversary.  I haven't done very many anniversary or wedding cards, so I have to admit my stash doesn't contain alot of romantic images.  I did pick up the Martha Stewart punch today to finish it off.  Nothing else was working, and because I have seen this punch used by so many, I knew it would fit well.  The stamp of the couple is from Rachelle Anne Miller that I bought along time ago.  I had actually stamped this image when I first got the stamp and it sat in my stash until now.  I masked it with the bench which I believe is from the Magnolia stamp line.  I used a sketch from Sketch Saturday #158.  I am also submitting this into One Stop Craft Challenge #134 for the texture challenge, Cute Card Thursday #167 for embellishments, and Divas by design challenge to add flowers.  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week.  Tanya R.

More butterflies...

Hi everyone,

I was busy on the weekend trying to get a bit ahead of the game, but I am finding I am already behind again.  But what can you do when it's playoff time and your home team is playing.  It looks like it's going to be a long night.  I had made this butterfly a long time ago and then had never done anything with it, so it was handy when I have so many cards to make right now.  Of course, I have used my favorite go to paper DCWV.  The sketch is from Cute Card Thursday.  I am also submitting this into Flutterby Wednesday challenge # 157, allsorts challenge blog week 105 "things with wings", the Creative Card Crew "for a diva", and Truly Scrumptious "Summer sparkle"  Wow, Canucks just scored with 19 seconds left to go in the third period.  whoo hoo!  Have a nice night everyone, and thanks for stopping by.  Vancouver Canucks Win!

Yay, I won at Meljen's designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am so happy to have found some time to create again. I knew from the minute I received this stamp, I would use it for my Dad. It reminds me of the family roadtrips, although we didn't have quite as nice a car. I am submitting this into a few challenges. The sketch I used is from Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturdays. The color scheme comes from Meljens Design Team challenge #60. It also goes with the Father's day/Special Man theme at Craft your days away challenge.
Thanks for stopping by,

Getting ambitious with two challenges...

Hi everyone,

I have a ton of birthdays coming up, but honestly, I have lost a bit of my mojo, so I looked for some challenges to give me a little inspiration. I found the sketch n stash challenge blog and thought I would give it a try. This card uses a Dustin Pike image and the saying is from Meljen's designs. The dp is an oldie from Paper pizazz. The punches are both from Ek Success. I am also submitting this into challenge #55 with Meljens challenge blog. This will be my first time submitting to these two challenge blogs, so wish me luck.

Happy Easter to everyone, and thanks for stopping by.
