Happy 60th - mom's best friend

TGIF!!

So my mom calls me yesterday and asks me to make a birthday card for her best friend who is turning 60. Her party is this weekend..a little last minute...OF COURSE that's how my mom operates...LOL!!

We were both going to the hairdresser this morning so I made one last night, this way she'd have it in time for the party, here it is...



Not sure I took a great picture but the card REALLY came out great....in my opinion..LOL!! All my mom told me was that her friend loves yellow roses...I immediately thought of my stamp/die cut combo from Heartfelt Creations, LOVE when that happens!!There are three separate stamps and dies on the card, the two roses on top and the leaves begins.

I found some great paper from Recollections, colored the rosses and leaves with my copics and added some bling with the letters and stick on glittery dots from my stash!!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Girls, anything goes #9
My Heart Pieces Digital Stamps, anything goes
Milk Coffee Challenge, celebrations


hugs,

New Beginnings!!! Happy 2014!!!

I'm baaaack!!!  HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Yes it's been a very long time, just life getting in the way, time is precious and sometimes not there for blogging but I promise to be here more often, not sure how much but more than I have been for sure ;)))

I'm especially back because one of my good friends has started a challenge blog and I want to be supportive and join in on the fun!!!

The challenge blog is: Open-Minded Crafting Fun and Vicky's blog is Crafting Vicky, she is a super talented woman!!!

The first challenge on Open-Minded Crafting Fun is use new toys or new technique. Well I've been scrapbooking a lot over the holidays and wanted to show off a page from last Christmas (yes I'm a little behind in my scrapbooking..lol). So here it is:


My "new toiys" are the paper and snowflake embellishments and also the die cut. I found some great deals recently and this is the first time I got to use them.


Here is a closer look at the TITLE, it was the Santa Claus Parade in downtown Montreal, November 2012. In one of the pictures you see my family, the family of four, and my cousin Melissa's family, the family above mine, it was her daughter's first Christmas!!!

I used this great sketch from Sketch on U Sketches:





I will be entering the following challenges:
