The BEST Birthday card ever!!

Yup, today is my birthday!  And I just had to share this card - which will be my very favourite birthday card!!  My intelligent, creative, thoughtful, and wonderful son created this for me!  Can you believe how stinkin' cute this is!!

Check out that cute little inch worm.  I adore him.  And all the details.  I love how he added the blue blocks behind the clouds and the tuft of grass at the base of the flower.  And he popped everything up on foam dimensionals. 

He did such a great job!!  I love him so much!!

Thanks for dropping in for a visit in my corner of the www.  Have a great day.  I'm sure I will!

Take 3 Challenge - A Dog and His Boy - Take 2

Here is my second card using this cute little dog and boy image from October Afternoon's Kite Tales stamp set.  It all started with those clouds .. they are rub ons (from Studio Calico) that I got at 75% off at my local scrapbook store.  Love them!!

I adore this cute little scene.  Today, the boy is coloured with Copics while yesterday's
card was paper pierced.

Okay, one more card ... my Take 3 using this little stamp set will be here tomorrow.  It is a very
different take from these last 2 cards.....

See you tomorrow!

Thinking of You - Deer Scene

Another scene card this time created using the adorable set called Laughter (American Crafts).  The animals in the set are adorable.  And see that sun and cloud, they are also a stamp in the set which lends to creating cute little scenes like this one.

The frame that is around the scene (which is a greenish-yellow color in real life!) was an item from my scrap bin ... something that I was going to use on another card and decided not to at the time.  I think it looks great here around little Bambi. It is up on dimensionals! The sentiment is from Beyond Basic Borders (Papertrey Ink).  I created the grass by flicking color on the bottom with a Copic marker (YG95). 

This card could be used for many occasions - love creating cards like that!!

Have a great day today!!

Birthday Trees

As many of you know, I followed Christine Middlecamp's doily project and fell in love with all her wonderful detailed and layered creations.  After she finished with the doily project, she went on to share many great scrapbook pages.  One one of them, she created these great "circle trees".  I knew I had to recreate them on a card.

Other than the card base, this card is made out of scraps from my various bins (large, med, small, designer paper, etc.).  The trees were so much fun to create.  2 different sized circles, both sponged and the middle circle popped up on dimensionals.   I created the funky sun to go with the trees.  I punched a circle and then cut various widths and lengths of the same yellow designer paper to add to the back for the rays.  While I'm not often caught using more than 3 colors, I went all out and used a totaly of 6 colors on this card!!  Yeah!!! 

Thanks for dropping in to my sunny crafting world.  It is nice to be blogging again, even if it is a slow start up!!
