Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I created for one of my mom's coworkers/friends.  She loves cats so of course I pulled out my Create A Critter cart.  The go to when you want to create a cute animal card!

Anyway, simple but cute card.  It was inspired by a blog that I visited but I can't remember the name at the moment.  Let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by....

MPS Blog Hop Challenge

Hey Everyone,

Today's project is for the challenge over at MPS.  Robyn had a blog hop last night and introduced her new design team along the way.  At each stop, the DT member introduced themselves, made a project and had a word that you had to put together to participate in the challenge!  Robyn has put together an amazing design team and I can't wait to see what all they have in store for us all over the next six months!

Today, I decided to use the Sweethearts cart and the card base is from Birthday Bash...  Hope you like.  Let me know what you think!!  Also if you have any advice on how I can get better pictures, would love it.  My pics never do my projects justice...(and I am using an Ottolite)

  Have a great weekend!! :)

Emma's Throwback Challenge

Good Afternoon!

Emma's Throwback Challenge this week is a sport's theme using Sports Mania.  Unfortunately, I do not have that cartridge so I had to figure out something else.  I wanted to do something different and decided to use my Hello Kitty cart.  I used the HK cheerleader, and decided to go with a Rutgers theme since that is where I went to school.  A simple card but with added detail and bling, of course! (LOVE my stickles and use it on almost every project.)  Hope you like...
