*** Birthday, Bunnies, Bears & Birds***

 Hello everyone,

I hope your week is starting off well. It's March Break for the schools this week so our Daughter, SIL and Granddaughter are enjoying the sunshine in the south.  The first visit for their dog but he seems to be having fun on the sandy beaches along with the family.  We so enjoy seeing all the pictures and hearing what they are up to.  

Today starts a new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge #180

where we have a theme of "Beginning with B"

I have created a Birthday Card using a Bunny, a Bird and a Bear so I think I have the "B's" covered.

Papers used are from Whimsy Stamps, Stamps coloured with Copics and die cut.  Border has been machine stitched.

*** One for the Boys***

Good morning everyone,

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #548

where our lovely Buffy has chosen the theme "Masculine"

After clearing out a lot of my stash earlier this year I convinced myself I did not need any more craft goodies and held off for almost 3 months...but oh..when I saw these cute panda's at Whimsy I broke down.  I have used it here for a masculine card but can see many uses for this trio.  The paper is a very old Basic Grey boxer that I've been hoarding. Fingers shook on first cut into the 12x12 sheet. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge Wk 7
Dare to B Artsy Challenge - March

~~~ The Cutie Pie Challenge ~ One for the Boys

Hi everyone,

It's time for a new challenge at 

The Cutie Pie Challenge #132

 where our lovely Sarah is hosting.

The theme will be "Card for a Boy, or for that Special Boy.

I've coloured with Copics a digital image from Whimsy Stamps

called "Gecko Love".  Another Crissy Armstrong design.

I think my hubby will have a smile on his face when 

he sees this one.  It will remind him of our recent trip to Aruba

where gecko's and iguana joined us daily at the pool garden.

Another cas design.  Again I've created the sentiment in word.

I really am rubbish at stamping. 

I use a scrap piece of paper to test my measurements as to where it should print,

that way I do not ruin a good piece of cardstock.  Frame cut using a MFT die

then adhered with pop dots for dimension.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Brown Sugar Challenge #287  Februay
MAWTT 90 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I do hope you can stop by the blog and see the wonderful
