Happy Birthday Mum!!!

I'm loving Lawn Fawn stamps and paper and My Creative Time dies! My Mum loves to feed the birds and squirrels in her backyard, so when I first saw these Lawn Fawn stamps, I knew that I had to use them for a card for her.

I entered this card in the Anything Goes challenge at the Simon Says Stamps Challenge Blog.

Have a great day!!!

Tim Holtz April Tag

I made this tag while attending the "Giving a Scrap About Autism" crop today. I had a lot of fun at this great event and used my Tim Holtz Distress Paints for the first time.

Take care,
Caroline :)

Congratulations Stephanie!!!

Stephanie recently received a promotion to Assistant Manager at the hotel.  A woo hoo and about time!!! Tee hee hee  :)  I made this card during a fun and relaxing scrapbooking day with a bunch of great ladies.

I'm currently taking Clean and Simple Card Making 2 at Online Card Classes.  I used the sketch from Day 1 and the gradient stamping technique taught by Jennifer McGuire on Day 3.  After seeing the technique, I search through my stamps and realized that I didn't have any multiple level stamps. I used a border stamp from CTMH Togetherness and 3 Stampin' Up inks.  The sentiment is from CTMH Cricut Artiste Collection Kudos.  Clean and simple cards are not my normal style, so I'm dying to add something else to this card.  Thank you to Donna for the scalloped border suggestion.  I may add ribbon or pearls or sparkle or . . .

Have a great week,
Caroline  :)

P.S.  So, I decided to add pearls.  I'm happier with the card now.  :)

Fiona's Birthday Card

I got the idea for this card when I purchased the Spellbinders Nestabilities - Square Swatches from DAT'S Scrapbooking.  I'm going to miss having a local scrapbooking store.  :(

The stamps and patterned papers are from LOTV. . . love them!!! The bear is coloured with copics, and I paper pieced the present. I inked everything with Stampin' Up Night of Navy. 

I'm entering this card at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge - Anything Goes.

Have a great day!!!

Henry's 10th Birthday

Double digits already!!! My little Godson turns 10 this week.  Henry is an excellent bowler.  He has attended the junior provincial and national championships with his team.  I've wanted to make him a bowling card for a while. 

The bowling ball and pins are cut from the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge.  I coated the bowling ball with glossy accents to add shine and dimension.  The papers are from the Bo Bunny It's My Party collection and double dot cardstock that I purchased from DAT'S Scrapbooking.

Have a great week and take care,
Caroline  :)
