Happy New Year!

It's a new year with new challenges to complete. I just flew into town today, and I'm getting this done at the last minute, but I absolutely needed to participate in the weekly 2 Sketches 4 You challenge. So here it is:


My oldest daughter turns 5 this month - when did she get so old? Whenever she sees my latest card, she always says something sweet about it. I am so proud to be her mom and I truly enjoyed making this card!

The stamped cupcakes and sentiment are Inkadinkado, with some glitter and bling to pretty it up.

Birthday Card

This is my first submission to PageMaps. It's a card sketch - my favorite kind! And it looks like this:


My take is a birthday card for my dad who celebrates on the 26th of this month! I used Scenic Route paper for the background, the tree branch is a stamp from Hero Arts, and the sentiment is Stampin' Up. Here it is:

Accordion Card

My Great-Aunt Mary is turning 70 - on Christmas Day!! As an extra special gift, my mom asked me to make a card that would showcase several pictures from her life. I used black cardstock as the base, and then I embellished it with paper and transfers from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie line. You'll also notice some bling here and there, just because ;)

It's Hip to be Square

I went with lots of sharp angles on this card based on this week's bonus sketch from DT member Kristen at 2 Sketches 4 You. It's my sister's birthday in a couple of weeks, and she loves purple, so this card was made especially for her.

Six Candles

My beautiful niece is turning 6 this month, so of course I had to make her a birthday card, and this is what I came up with. I love glitter!
