Jennifer's Congratulations Card

 Hard to believe but Thanksgiving is almost here.  I have been trying to straighten some things out and remembered that I didn't post the card I made for Jennifer.  She is in a new grade and new school and is doing well academically.  She got a great report card for the 1st Semester so I made a cute card to send her.  I'm sure she will like what's inside as well!

I have a few of Colorado Craft Co. stamp sets and dies and used the A Star is Born for this card.  I think these sets are adorable,  I love the mice!!  I used SU's Pool Party and Powder Pink CS for my base.  I put a small wobble on the cute mouse so it spin around and added some gems.  I should have embossed the background but didn't think of it until the front was finished.  Next time!

For my inside sentiment, I used the same stamp set and die!  I love the different sentiments on these sets.  We are in a deep freeze at the moment but it is suppose to warm up in the middle of the week!  At least we are not in Buffalo, NY.  I can't image having all that snow!  UGH!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Birthday Card

 Well, we went from some beautiful days to a windy, raining nasty day which means I hope to get some craft time.  With all the Halloween festivities, I almost forgot to post this birthday card I made for a friend.  The stamp set I used is called Treat Time that Gina K released a few months ago.  The moment I saw it I knew I wanted it.  My friend loves anything ice cream, so I knew the ice cream cone would be great for making her cards.

For my base card, I used SU's Melon Mambo CS.  I stamped the ice cream cone in Stazon Brown and then colored it using my Zig Markers and Gamsol.  Instead of using the flower stamps that came with this set, I decided to use the Burst of Spring Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  I love making these pansies!  The sentiment is from the stamp set.  I am definitely going to use their flowers in the future.  I also added some gem embellishments. 

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Happiest of Birthdays.  I'm so glad I found this set on Ebay as it is retired.  I have used it so any times already.  I decorated the bottom with some washi tape I had on hand.  I realized that some of the tape is getting dried out so I had better use it while it is still good!

Jennifer's Birthday Card

 Hard to believe but today Jennifer turns 9 years old!  For those who follow me. you know that every year I add another pumpkin on her birthday card to represent the number of years.  She was a preemie and the first time I saw here in the NICU she had this adorable orange cap on since it was Halloween. It was pretty easy the first few years, but as she is getting older I will have to get creative!  

For her card this year, I decided to make a 5"x7" base so I would have more room!  I used some soft pumpkin colored DSP to place on the card and decorated it with some pumpkins from my stash around the number 9 that I die cut with the Large # Framelits set from SU in orange glimmer paper.  The sentiment is from the Cauldron Bubble stamp set from SU.

For the inside sentiment, I used the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set from SU and I decorated it with a cute little cat I had left over from the Cauldron Bubble set.  

It was a busy weekend.  Jennifer had Truck & Treat at her school Friday night and then her friends party on Saturday.  On Sunday we had her family party here in PA and then on Monday they came back again for treat or treat night!  Here are some pictures I thought you might enjoy.

She had her party at a local swimming place with her girl friends.  No boys!!
