Happy Tuesday

Morning ladies.  I'm a day late posting my card.  I was going to try to post a card a day over the March Break.  I left it too late last night.  DH beat me to the computer after the kids where put to bed.  He had a gaming night.  So I have two cards for today. 
Both have matching envelopes.  What a time I've had making envelopes.  When I did the easter one I discovered that there was an error in the measurements on the instructions I was following.  The flaps are too short too seal.  The birthday card is the only one I don't have to alter. 
This card covers two challenges:
365 Cards-Day 14-Super Sketchy Sunday
Crafty Card Makers-Challenge 16-A Feminine Celebration

Here is the sketch.

Happy Birthday.  This card may come in handy next month.  Both of my kids have a birthday. 
This one is for two challenges as well.
Cute Card Thursday-Challenge 103-Celebration
Cuttlebug Challenges-Be Inspired #74-Envelopes
You were to make a matching envelope to go with your card.  The inside of my envelope also has the same paper as the card. 

My son has a friend over today.  The boys are enjoying the nice weather outside today.  We've had great weather lately.

Happy crafting ;o)

What up Dude

Thanks to Jennifer McGuires video on HeroArts yesterday, I managed to print out my digi pics.  Isn't this little fella cute?  I made this card for Card Patterns-Sketch 52.
I'm off to a busy afternoon.  Have to pick kids up at school for a dentist appointment.  Then rush them home, change and into work.  So much for my day off.  I was called in for tonight.  More money, more craft product. 
Have a great afternoon.

House Mouse

Morning ladies.  A bit of quiet time for me.  I have the morning to myself, and a meeting at the school this afternoon with the speech pathologist.  We find out how much the little guy has improved in four years.  It's a fine line, you want him to improve, but you also don't want to loose the extra help in the classroom.  He is needing the EA less and less which is good, but there are still times that he gets frustrated and needs her. 
On to my card.  Our local craft store The Craft Nook got in some House Mouse stamps.  They are sooo cute.  I have purchased two, this is the first one.  This card is for 365 Cards-Day 352-Gloria's Sketch.  Well done Gloria, love the sketch.

This is Gloria's sketch.

Going Girly

Wow, it's taken me a week do get the creativity back to make a card.  All week I've tried, and just stared at the supplies.  So I started knitting the kids socks, and working on a Christmas scrapbook.  Today I came home from work, and said "I'm going to make a card".  Then had to rush to get it posted on here before DH gets on the computer to play a little later.

Todays card is for four challenges. 
Cupcake Crafts Challenges-Challenge #73-Going Girly
Cute Card Thursday-Challenge #95-Pink & Grey
Little Red Wagon-Challenge #11-Polka Dots
And finally
Card Patterns-Sketch #47

Enjoy your evening.

Happy Valentines

Hello everyone.  Hope your enjoying your weekend.  Just a quick post tonight, before I spend some quiet time with DH.  We've started watching Lost on the DVD, right from the beginning. 
My card today covers three challenges.
365 Cards-Day 311-Find a Substitute.  Substitude a word with an image.  This was quite easy with this stamp, because the actual word I replaced with the heart was heart.
Little Red Wagon-Challenge #10-Pin It Up.  I think that says it all.  Use a pin on your project.

Caardvarks-The Challenge. The stetch.  On my card you can't see the vertical lines.  I put a score ling down to some on the hearts.

Happy Crafting ;o)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday DH.  It's also my dads partners birthday, which is who this card is for.  I picked up a pack of birthday paper by Imaginisce, a couple weeks ago, and this is the first chance I've had to use it.  We are going out for dinner tonight to celebrate the two birtdays.  This afternoon DD did a violin recital at a seniors home.  It was so nice to hear the residents trying to sing along.  Some of them sounded like our dog when Sam plays here.
This card was made for Little Red Wagon-Challange 7-Sewing.  Thanks ladies for featuring my card this week.  I love your blog.  Your all so talented.  I cheated on the sewing part.  I poked holes and used a marker to join the dots.  I tried sewing with my machine on a scrapbook page a couple weeks ago, and it was hard.  I found the paper slipped, it was hard to keep it straight.  I'll have to practice. 
Have a great weekend.  Tomorrow I plan to do my Christmas baking, which should have been done weeks ago.

365 Cards, Cupcake and Little Red Wagon

I'm about 24 hrs late posting my cards.  We worked removing snow from the driveway till 9:30 last night.  When I came in the power had flashed off and turned the computer off.  I was so tired just didn't feel like posting.  The snow has finally quit falling today and we had blue skies and sunshine.  I still didn't make it to work, because the car had sat for two days with the snow falling around it.  It was like it was in a pit.
Enough about the snow.  On to the cards.  This one is for Cupcake Craft Challenges-Challenge 69-Sing a Christmas Carol.  You were to choose your favorite christmas carol to use on your card.  I heard 'I'll be Home For Christmas' on the radio the other day and thought this stamp was perfect.  It is also for 365 Cards-Day 284-DIY Sketches.  Design your own sketch and create a card based on it.

Here is my sketch.   

This pic is from Little Red Wagon-Challenge 6.  You were to be inspired by the photo.  I used a cuttlebug folder of the village (one of my fav christmas folder).  I embossed it on white wash green coordinations.  I sanded the houses a bit to show the green through, added glitter to the roofs and snowflakes, and added three little star jewel in the sky.  A bit of gold glitter around the edge.  I added the word 'Peace' on the bottom for 365 Cards-Day 285-A Certain Sentiment.  You were to use the word 'Peace' as the entire sentiment or as part of the sentiment.

Here is my card.
