Retro Sketches196, PP276, FM238, Seize the Birthday

Happy New Year and all the best in the coming year ~ We seem to jump from one celebration to the next ~ and so here we go...time to celebrate Isaac who is turning 7 on the 28th ~ I love this young man, he is full of life, sweet and kind and has a wonderful sense of humour ~ Isaac loves anything Mario Brothers, so we purchased him a Mario Brothers Chess Set and it is such an wonderful gift, I can't wait to gift this to him ~ Happy Happy Day young man xoxo

I found these wonderful challenges that gave me my starting point, although I knew that it had to be a Mario card ~ what a perfect sketch from Retro Sketches ~ the PP276 is all about #'s, how perfect! ~ the Friday Mashup calls for a Super Hero...Mario and Lugii, aaahhhh yah!!! and it's a birthday card, so Seize the Birthday works for this as well ~ WOW!!!! thanks so much for these wonderful challenges ~ I love playing along when I have a chance! Happy New Year!!!
(for some strange reason, I was unable to pick up the link to the PP276??? not sure why)



and now to the card ~ I can't wait for him to see this card as well as his gift :-)


Here's our big 7 year old ~ big brother to Austin and Lucas ~ so blessed to call these boys our grandsons!
Thanks So much for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoyed your little visit :-)

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!!
