Today is my final day being on the Going Grey with Scrap-creations team.  I've loved being on Kristen's team (hey, I'm spending the day with her today) and enjoyed getting to work with the talented team!  I know I'll still be following along and joining in when I can, so it's a not a good bye.  Thank you Kristen for letting me ride along on this wonderful journey with you!

This week we got to work with some fun Pink Cat Studio images along with our theme of Fairytales.  Pink Cat Studios is offering  up some free digis.  Of course I only paid attention to the "fairy" part of it so I had to just go with it.  I chose Itty Bitty Betty Ladybug.to play with, isn't she so cute?

Hope you will join us over Going Grey with Scrap-Creations with your fairytale creation.

Have you seen these adorable cowboy/cowgirl created by Pink Cat Studio for an awesome cause? If you haven't, run to check them out. You can read more about it here.

I had to get these cuties and it worked perfectly for a birthday card I sent with my daughter for her friend today.

I printed my Cowboy Ethan on Whisper White cardstock (my printer doesn't seem to like any other) and colored him in with my copics.

This patterned paper is from CTMH I believe, it's been in my stash a long time. I coordinated it with some Bravo Burgundy and Night of Navy cardstock and used my nestabilities to give him a little shape. The little Happy Birthday sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas.

Join in the fun, there are some great prizes going on for participating in this great cause!

Have a great weekend! Blog candy is closing 6/29, join in the fun for some goodies!

Circle Card Challenge

A few friends and I were challenged to do an ornament card. I had a little bit of a tough time with this as I really didn't want to do a Christmas related one and I really wasn't sure how to embellish this once I got it done, so I left it as is.

I used my largest coluzzle circle to cut this with and then did a solid circle for the back. The two circles are held together with the round tab punch which I folded in half and adhered to the front circle and back one. I used some Basic Grey Pheobe paper for the base of it. I had just gotten my order of QT Hooty Owl from Pink Cat Studios so used that. Colored all the owls with my inks and aquapainters.

Have a wonderful weekend and make sure to check out my other post about blog candy!

Birthday invitations and BLOG CANDY!!!

This year my little baby is turning 9!!! Seems like just yesterday that we were in a panic when he decided he wanted to arrive early. Not just a few days early, no just a few weeks, a few months early! He arrived 12 1/2 weeks early weighing 2 lb. 9 oz. and his Daddy's wedding ring used to slide right over his little hand and he wore it like a bracelet. He's independent, loving, has a mind of his own sometimes, but is a good kid who loves his family. He also loves to get mail, see details below.

Tristan (named after Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall) is big into sports. We play football and travel baseball right now so our weekends are usually consumed by running him all over. I let him pick out what types of things he wanted on his invitations this year which I made postcard style (I didn't photo the back of it which was just printed on the computer).

He picked out this cute owl I just got from Pink Cat Studios called Q.T. Hooty Owl along with the colors of the football team he plays for. I printed out the "9" on the computer and then used my Just Rite little letter stamps to stamp the announcement. I found after playing with my self-inker that the little letters do not work well in that but perfectly in the wood stamper. I love the possibilities with the little letters and can't wait to play more with it!

BLOG CANDY DETAILS:
