Our one and only little girl turns 2 next week! Katie is a sweet little cutie I found three fabulous challenges to play along with and thus began creating Katie's Birthday card! The colours for Colour Throwdown #364 were prefect for her card, then I found this great sketch at Retro Sketch #185 and Seize the Birthday of course!  Thanks for these wonderful challenges ladies ~ oh you know you want to join in the fun, so get inking!!!   So I flipped my card on it's side ~ pulled out my Prisma Pencil crayons, just to add a wee splash of color after I cut my image and frame using the Circles Collection Framlits~ I inked up the heart from Work of Art and created my DSP and used the die cut from Banner Framlits, played with my new EF Softly Falling (love it) ~ super sweet and simple birthday card  Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoyed your visit ~ have a wonderful weekend!

It's been SO long since I've posted, I'm still trying to get the hang of our new place, oh, and I must say....LOVE IT!!!!!  Creating is not as easy at it was in my 1600 sq ft studio, but it works!!!  My punches are stored in large Rubbermaid bins under our bed and everything else is stored in large Ikea bookcases ~ everything is either in a bin, drawer or behind a door ~ so nothing looks like a craft room, it does force me to be VERY organized, which I am...but also VERY tidy with everything put away after, that does not come easily to me, but I'm working on it ~ once I'm feeling more settled with ALL corners put away, I'll post pictures of our new place ~ in the mean time, here is a picture of what we get to look at all day long!!! ~ I had so much fun creating this card for our daughter's birthday ~ Out came some new toys and away I went ~ also loosely followed the sketch from FMS203 and because this is a Birthday card, it also ...

Moving day from our tiny 961 sq ft condo into our 1400 sq ft condo is almost upon us ~ projected moving date is June 15 ~ our cabinets were delivered yesterday, flooring is in our unit, things just need to be put together...we are OVER the TOP excited to get settled once again...and we have another peek at our place later today ~ I'll post pictures on my next post...in the mean time, this is what it looks like on the outside ~ the view in front of the Condo and a shot across the river ~ our balcony in the second from the top on the right hand side, looking over the river ~ woohoo...get to work people! 17 days and counting!!! Now in the mean time, while I had everything out and putting things away is not as easy as it used to be...so I stayed with the same color theme as my last post ~ soft and sweet ~ here are the thank you cards that I came up with ~ loving the soft feel of this color combo, although taking the picture isn't the easiest ~ what do you think! ...

The BEST afternoon ever ~ sitting on our balcony and creating ~ talk about relaxing! I found these   challenges at Create With Connie & Mary  & Seize The Birthday  ~ and so I got right to work!  I need a birthday card for my wonderful mother and I'm very pleased with the outcome ~ we will celebrate her 80th birthday this weekend with a surprise Birthday luncheon ~ we have about 100 people coming to celebrate with us ~ I know mom will be blessed ~ And so while I was enjoying my time, I created two more cards!

The season of showers & weddings are upon us...I have a weekend of weddings showers, so I peeked in my stash of cards...yup....just what I thought...so last night I threw a CAS card together...is it wrong to have the same card for two different showers ~ the brides don't know each other and the ladies attending will be different at both showers...so yes...I cheated! I found two great challenges that gave me my starting point ~ Create with Connie & Mary have this great colour challenge and then I followed the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch  .... thanks so much ladies for all that you do in helping us with a great place to start ~ THANKS ~  I do find CAS quite difficult as I'm used to more layers...but I am pleased with the out come of my shower card! what do you think? Thanks so much for popping by and having a peek ~ I hope you enjoyed your visit :-) ~ enjoy your day ~ If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would ...
