Aud Sentiments Challenge

Happy Thursday to you! Just wanted to remind everyone that there is still time to play along in our Aud Sentiments-Happy Birthday Challenge. BUT........I goofed!  I had the hardest time with this card. I had lost my "mojo", had lots going on and just couldn't think of what to do. And..so, I forgot to use a "Happy Birthday" sentiment and used a "Let's Party". So, just ignore my sentiment and focus on the card! LOL

So silly because it's such a simple challenge, but I goofed. So sorry.
Okay.....enought chatter. Here's my card...goofs and all!


Card Details: Digi Image-Bugaboo, Sentiment-Studio G, Patterend Paper-Unknown, Cardstock-Bazzill, Border Punch-Martha Stewart, Glitter Stick Ons-EK Success

Join us in the fun, and at a chance to win 7 free images from our awesome sponsor, Bugaboo stamps!

I'm addicted to Chalkboard Paint!

I love this stuff!!! It's so fun! If I could paint up every room in my house, I'd be thrilled!!! Well, not every room...but you get my drift!

I had these blank frames from Michael's that I bought over the weekend, I thought with Chalkboard paint they could REALLY be made special. You could add a name, date, message, pictures, etc.

and I couldn't stop there...I found some scrap wood, drilled some holes for hanging

and added some chalk. Fun, fun!!!

Okay.....what's next? Let me go look around for more things to paint!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Well, the day is almost over and I think it was a pretty swell one! I hope my Mom enjoyed her day!
I also hope she enjoyed her cake and handmade card. She loves the vintage look, so I made a card especially for her!

This was her "vintage" mini cake. The frosting was cream cheese, so divine!

She was also "showered with cards" by many of my "pea-friends". Thank you ladies for making my Mom's bday a special one! 

I think it was a very blessed day. And I know she deserves SO much more! But I do know

she enjoyed her day!

Love you Mom!!!

A Little Love Note

Good day to all my online friends. I'm finishing up some Valentine cards this week and thought I'd pop in and share this one with you. I don't have alot of Valentine papers and live about an hour from Hobby Lobby. So, I'm really trying to use what I have on hand. All you see here are scraps, from cardstock to dp!

I used some "non traditional" colors for this one. I have also been trying to use my scraps and little embellies that I've been 'hoarding' instead of using! he,he!!! I also did not have a Sassy Cheryl's Valentine image..SOOO, I put a Valentine in her hand!!!
