You're worth celebrating!

Today at Catch the Bug there is a new challenge and it's a BINGO.  I was able to do a black out again and use all the elements (otherwise I just can't decide). My image is Bug Flower Teddy and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I was looking for a bright cheery card since we have it snowy and cold with temps below zero....and I am tired of winter. We had our first snow on Halloween so it seems to be lasting forever!

Happy Anniversary...I'm only in this for....

My son and his girlfriend celebrated their 1 year anniversary so he wanted me to make a card for him. Now I think I mentioned that he is particular....and the image has to be hand colored. He likes a unique layout.  What I came up with for him is using the Your Next Stamp Sets of  Rose for You (retired) and  Cute Butt. I made a fence scene and heat embossed the sentiments which he thought was great.  So he approved.

Congratulations on your new home

Today at Catch the Bug is Oldies but Goodies and for my card I used image Guy Mowing Grass and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  My massage therapist just bought a new home and so he will have to start doing yard work so I made this card for him. I think because he has focused all his money in his business he is so excited to have the ability to purchase something for himself so that is so exciting for him.
