It's Birthday Time!

Hope everyone is having a great day today!

I know I personally can't wait for the weekend!

I did get to make a cute birthday card today that I wanted to share.

 

I got to use this fabulous Wild Rose Studio stamp that I

got for a Christmas present.

Their stamps are so sweet!

I used a sketch from MOJO Monday for my layout.

This is such a great sketch!

I used some pretty brightly colored papers.

I used a couple of glittery papers.

I love the one with the birthday hats on it.

I used some bright mini buttons  and some cute ribbon to accent with.

Bugaboo Birthday Celbration Day 6

Today is Day 6 of Bugaboo's Catch the Bug's Birthday Celebration challenges.

The challenge for today is to make a birthday project for a kid.

 

I made this birthday card for a very special little girl in my family.

 

I absolutely love this cute little Bugaboo image!!

I colored it in her favorite colors and added a little bit of glitter.

I tried to make it look a little like the ombre look.

I little darker at the bottom, getting lighter towards the top.

 

I used some fun paper with a lot of numbers on it for a festive look.

And since I wanted the main focus to be on the stamp (because shed loves pigs), I tried to keep the rest of the card simple.

 

Hope you will check out Bugaboo's stamps and Catch the Bug's challenges.

 

 

 

Bugaboo Birthday Celebration Day 7

It's finally Friday!!!  Woohoo!!

It's Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo stamps today!

I am out of town, so I can't print out the new stamp

to enter this challenge with.

 

 

So, I decided to go with one of my birthday favorites from

Bugaboo that I had already printed out.

I have really been into making gift tags here lately.

I think it really adds such a nice touch to a gift.

 

 

 

I some really pretty papers from DCWV.

I used my favorite lace edged stamp for the top.

I added 4 purple crystals.

(Since it is Bugaboo's 4th birthday, today's challenge is to add 4 of something)

And of course I topped it all of with some fabulously colored fibers.

 

Please take a minute to check them out over at Bugaboo stamps

Oh well, it looks really pretty in person. LOL!

 

I added some cool purple zebra patterned ribbon for another splash of color.

I found this adorable image on the Lacy Sunshine website that I

Black and silver with glitter.  Perfect!

 

I added some pretty white venetian lace that I used a stamp pad to color silver.

Then I added some silver glittery ribbon on top of it.

I had to add a pretty silvery gray flower and some crystals

for a nice romantic look.

 

I added some chunky silver glitter for the big silver parts on the dress,

and some fine silver glitter for the small silver dots on the dress and hat.

I also added a little silver glitter around the brooch on her hat.

I added white glitter on the white areas on her dress.
