Bearing Gifts

Needed a boy's birthday card this morning. Nothing like waiting til the last minute.  I like making girly cards better, so I always put of the boy or men cards.  Funny thing is I need lots of boy cards with three boys, better change my ways.

Anyway, I saw the Paper Sundaes challenge #45, a sketch, this morning and thought it would work perfectly with the image I was planning to use from Designed2Delight. It is called Bearing Gifts.  It is definitely one of my favorites, the bear reminds me of Pooh, more his posture than the way he looks.

Hope you had a great weekend.  My dh is at the Eagles/Giants game tonight.  He said it is freezing ou there.  Glad I'm home and warm.

King of the Wild Things

Can't believe it is Sunday already! We had a great weekend. My dad visited to celebrate his birthday. Had lots of good food (probably too much). He's on his way home now, so I made a cute little Halloween card.

I used the Midnight Madness sketch MMSC71 for this card. I went with the CAS version for this week. Also the Paper Sundaes challenge #36 is Fabulous Fall, to use fall or Halloween colors, so this will work! If you are thinking deja vu on the papers and colors, you are right. They were still out and I'm trying to make a group of Halloween card to send to our soldier, so I used these papers again.

Thanks for stopping by today. Preparing for a busy week. We have a birthday in our house on Thursday, so that is something to look forward to!

Rain, Rain Go Away!!

Well, it is rainy here again. I think this will mean a really green spring when everything starts to bloom. I broke out my new Pure Innocence set from MFT, perfect for a rainy day. I think this little girl is the cutest.

I used this SFYTT from March 13th as my sketch. I also made this for the following challenges this week: Paper Sundaes 10th challenge, paper piecing, and JUGS challenge #25, (colors of light brown, light blue, light green, light yellow). I love these soft springy colors, but don't use them too often. I usually go for brights, but this was a fun change.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
