Two Bday Challenges, A Sketch and One Sweet Mouse

STB#, MTs 133, Sail Away With Me!

Although we don't own a sail boat, I love the idea of sailing away for a day and just enjoying the water and peacefulness that seems to go along with sailing :-) ~ my little birthday cards gives me a sense of peace and calm in the midst of the storms that we seem to be facing lately!

I loosely followed the sketch from Match the Sketch (hope that's okay) and my favourite birthday site, Seize The Birthday challenge. I have been committing to sending out birthday wishes this year and doing pretty good with keeping ahead of it all (although, this past week and a bit, haven't been done) ~ belated cards, here we come!

Another sad goodbye

It's with such a heavy heart that I post today ~ My wonderful father-in-law has gone to be with his Lord & Saviour ~ the good-bye, til we meet again is so difficult ~ This man loved me as a daughter the moment I entered his life. He's been my 'other' dad for over 36 years...I love you dad and will miss you always. Norman Ross Willerton, went to be with his Lord and Savior...til we meet again my friend

STB, FMS & IN(K)SPIRE me

I needed a new Birthday card pronto, so I got to work this morning, found some challenges that I wanted to join and had a blast playing along! Seize The Birthday (Anything Goes), Freshly Made Sketches and a wonderful color challenge at IN(K)SPIRE me, is where my inspiration was birthed!

there is still time to play, so why don't you join in the fun!

Here's my birthday card ~ I actually don't own Blackberry Bliss or Lost Lagoon (shocking, I know), so I used rick Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay ~ hope that's okay!

I think I went to little too stamp crazy on my Sahara Sand CS, now that it's complete, I'm wishing I would have stamped a little less with my colors ~ I know my brother will love this though!
