I Love that We can be Nutty Together

I have this wonderful stamp set from My Favorite Things, BB Squirrel which I used for this card and I heat embossed the sentiment. Now the problem is....I have quite a few people that I could give this card to, lol.

Leaves are falling

Today at Catch the Bug is Friday Freebie and it's this adorable Autumn Brats Leaves and I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  Since Autumn/fall is my favorite season, I just had to add lots of  die cut leaves on this card. We are just starting to have our leaves turn in my area, but I'm not looking forward to raking and all the extra yard work since I have lots of mature trees.

Princess Amanda has a birthday

I am so fortunate that my daughter is a school teacher so I am able to spend the day with her in her in her classroom while she teaches.  It is wonderful to meet her students, take a birthday treat to share with them and get to see her in her professional role. This is her 4th year of teaching and she has students that come back to say Happy Birthday and even who spend time in her classroom during their lunch. It was fun, yet exhausting.
She has always been my princess so she got a princess cake and....card.  I stenciled the background. The crown is a die cut and I added gems/bling.

Dear Santa: I want it all!

Today at Catch the Bug there is a new challenge which is a BINGO challenge.  For my card I used all the items. I chose to use image, Kidz Christmas Santa and a sentiment from TLC, Create.
Sorry I'm late on posting...I was going to set up for an auto post; however, I didn't have time to set up before I left town to go spend the day with daughter for her birthday. I spend the day with her in her classroom which I was fortunate enough to do anything this year and took a Princess cake to share with her class.  She also many times takes her dog to school on Fridays which she also did on her birthday and it is funny because he patrols the classroom as if he owns it and he is great with the students.

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.

Hey Girl Happy Birthday Gift Card

Today at Catch the Bug is New Release day and it's a revamp of Frame it - Hey Girl.  I made a pocket behind it which is perfect for a gift card....but who is looking at the gift card? Seriously if we got a present delivered by a good looking guy really we would just want him to make dinner and clean the house, lol.
