Happy Birthday!!

I'm entering this card into two challenges.  Mo's Digital Challenge #131  which is to use Flowers.  I'm using the Sketch from Card Patterns Sketch Challenge. 
The Base CS is Close ti My Heart Smokey Plum and the DP is from the Paper Pack Cruisin'.  The image is colored in with Copics and the ribbon and flowers are from my stash drawers =)  I think this image is soo cute - I wonder if the cake would make it to the table whole if the image came to life.

Happy Birthday sweet Lily!

Today is a special little girl's birthday!! Lily is 3!! I will mail this card tomorrow and she will get it late... but it will arrive in time for her party on Saturday!!

I used the sketch from Card Patterns Challenge this week - it was the perfect fit!!  I also took the colors from CR84FN Color Challenge.  The papers are from the s.e.i. Vanilla Sunshine 6 x 6 pad and the DCWV Old World Mat Stack.  I need to hunt down where I found the sweet image...  once I do, I will update!!  She is colored in with Copic Markers.  The ribbons and round sparkles are Close to My Heart.



















If you would, please say a prayer for Lily and her family - God knows the details!!  Thanks so much!!

Sending hugs your way...

Just one card for today.  Had a busy Sunday.  Worship this morning  which was awesome.  Got home about 1:30.  Put together a Beef Stew for my husband to take to the Church Family Dinner while I went to see a production of Children of Eden.  My friend Janice directed the music.  She does an AmAzInG Job!!.  I also got word from my friend Juanita that her Dad has been hospitalized (she just lost her Mom a few months ago...).  I wanted to make a card to send to her while she is in NY.  The image I used for this card is just perfect.  My favorite animal is the elephant and hers is the monkey...  =)  How did Mo's Digital Pencil know that...?  I love it when a card just falls into place so perfectly!!

I'm using the sketch from Card Patterns.   I used three coordinating patterns from Recollections which are primarily Gray and Yellow.  The half circle is cut from a Shiny Yellow CS.  The bow is gray Twine from The Twinery and the sentiment is stamped on gray CS with CtMH Black ink and attached with a plain white brad.  The image is colored in with Tombow Markers.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Sorry you are hurting...

I love Mo's Digital Pencil images.  This little girl is so precious I couldn't resist her.  CAS-ual Friday has a Challenge this week It's easy as 1-2-3. 
1 - a pattern
2 - an image
3 - a sentiment

I went with a sketch from a Challenge I have not done before, Card Patterns Sketch Blog.  Seemed to make sense.  #1 - check!  My image was easy Sorry Shanna from Mo's.  #2 - check!  The sentiment sorry you are hurting is from Verve.  #3 - check.

I flipped the sketch on it's side.  The papers are single sheets purchased at the local craft store.  I no longer remember the make but I do LOVE the spring colors.  I used right pink polka dot grosgrain ribbon and tied it in a bow.  The image is attached with pop dots. 

Thanks so much for visiting.  Time now to turn in...
