Bugaboo Birthday Ladybug

Hello again,

I know, back so soon you say?  LOL!!

Well it's another gloomy day here in Montreal but not for much longer. They are announcing great weather for at least the next 4 days..YAY..pool time here we come!! It's bitter sweet becuase I love to craft but you must understand our summers here are sooo short that we must take advantage of every minute we can spend outside!!

I'm back with another birthday card for my MIL today, why you may ask?  Well my older son didn't like the vintage lady, well he liked it but not for his grandma, he said it wasn't birthday enough..LOL!! He wanted this ladybug birthday digi from Bugaboo instead, so here it is:

I bought this Bugaboo image a while ago and have yet to use it so of course I was more than OK with making another card for my MIL why not right!! :))) Anyway she deserves it, she is the BEST!!!

I didn't use any sketch this time, but I did use my brand new nestabilites, the one from yesterday is new too, aren't they just AMAZING!! So pretty, you don't really need to embellish much, but of course I can't help myself..LOL!!

I will be entering the following challenges:
Bearly Mine Challenges, #41 anything goes
Party Time Tuesday, #74 anything goes
Clear it Out Challenge, 2 or more ribbons, any theme
Jackson's Digital Expressions, Anything goes
Tiddly Inks Challenge, #89 pretty in pink

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you real soon!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend, and Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian bloggers!!

Vintage Lady - Bonne Fête

Hello everyone,

Yes it's been a long time since my last post, 12 days to be exact. I've missed crafting so much but we had extremely nice weather here in Montreal so being outside was my first priority. My 8 and 4 year old boys wanted to be in the pool and of course so did Mom and Dad. Plus I have a big circle of friends and family who pop by to use the pool as well..LOL..of course I welcome it, the more the merrier!!

Today I crafted because it was chilly and rainy, perfect weather to craft!! My inspiration was my mother-in-law. It's her birthday on Saturday. She wasn't here for her 60th (they go to Portugal for 4mths every year) so we're having a big BBQ to celebrate her 62nd birthday this weekend and of course I needed to make her a very special card.

To do that I used a great sketch and some other great ideas from fabulous blogs.

Here it my creation:

Isn't it gorgeous? I just love it and I know my MIL will too!! I know I've already used this image and trust me when I say I do not have a shortage of them..LOL!! but I just thought this would be perfect for my MIL!!

The sketch I used is from The Crazy Challenge blog, I just fell in love with this sketch!!

I am entering the following FABULOUS challenges:
The Crazy Challenge, CCH#123 sketch
Anything goes Challenge, Polka dots with Birthday Theme (b-day in french)
Pile it on Challenge,  #26 make your own embellishment (I made the flowers)
Little Miss Muffet, Loads of layers
Jacksons Digital Impressions, anything goes

I hope to see you again, sooner rather than later..LOL!!

Good night
