Valentines' Day 2018 - My Feelings for You are STRONG

Hello sweet friends!

Did you have a good Valentine's Day?

We kept it low key this year.  I had planned

to make a special dinner since I had the day off

but then the hubster woke up with the flu. 

Poor guy!  I followed him around everywhere he 

went with the Lysol spray - LOL.  Very romantic, right?!

 I'm so freaked out abut getting this as I'm starting a 

new job on Tuesday and I need to stay well.  

Hopefully we will have our dinner on Friday.

Today I'd like to share the card I made for my husband.  

Details: heart beat die cut and Stay Strong stamp set 

and coordinating sugar cut are from SugarPea Designs

Happy 50th Birthday

Hello friends - Happy Monday!

Friday was my middle sister's 50th birthday

and here is the card I made to help her celebrate 

this momentous occasion.  

the inside says ..."Like WHY did I walk into this room?!"

I tried to break it to her gently that yes this does happen

(and far more often than I'd like to admit) - haha!

This fun sentiment is from a set by Stampin' Up! called 

FIVE FOR ALL. 

I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #323

for the layout and the main color of pink because

well, because....I love pink lol!

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Seize the Birthday - Topping option of Candles 

(see the three little candles in the top corner?)

Cupcake Inspiration Challenges CIC439 - photo inspiration
(color the pink frosting on the cupcakes)

That's all for today folks.  Thanks so much for popping in
to visit me again.  Crafty hugs to each of you! D

Fairy Princess Emma (Paper Nest Dolls)

Well hello lovelies so happy you are here to visit me! 

  I think that was the fastest January on record in 

all of my 50+ years on this earth!  Whoosh... suddenly

it's "Welcome to February"  LOL! 

I've been taking kind of a crafting and blogging break lately.

I've managed to do a little coloring here and there for

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge 

but haven't been able to get a creation finished due to 

lack of time, energy and MOJO (sad face). 

BUT...I recently won a really awesome prize package

from Christine Young of Paper Nest Dolls that included

some awesome Echo Park papers, a Wink of Stella pen

and enamel dots (as well as a couple stamp/die sets)

and this beautiful digital image called 

Fairy Princess Emma.  After coloring her up the other

night for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, I found

myself in my craft room today actually finishing a project!! 

So Excited! It sure did feel good to get crafty again!

Thanks so much Christine (big puffy heart)!

Here's my finished card - hope you like it!

My layout design is from Sketch Saturday #500 

They are having very special celebration for the

500th Sketch at Sketch Saturday and 

The Paper Nest Dolls is one of the very 

generous sponsors offering a prize of 3 digital images

(like Princess Emma!!)  

I'm also entering this card in these challenges as well:
