Happy Birthday

This is a card I made for my daughter for her 21st birthday.  I tried to make the dress close to one that she recently wore to a wedding.  Of course, you need a purse to go with the dress, but I guess I forgot the shoes!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Clean and Simple

Hello everyone... I'm finally back and glad to be blogging again! I must say that being out of town two weekends in a row and getting ready for a workshop (between homeschooling and work) just called for a much needed break from blogging.  Now that I've had one it's time to get busy again.  I've titled this post clean and simple to go with The Paper Players challenge this week.  I wanted the first two cards for my workshop this week to be "clean and simple"...so here is the first card we made.  I actually got the basic idea for this card from my upline, Glenda.  You can view her card here.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, I am finally back after a bit of a break.  I was up north working at a camp for the weekend and couldn't seem to catch up on everything that needed to be done, so it was my cards that had to be put on hold.  Today's post is for a couple of challenges I try to do every week.  I'm doing Ann's Color Challenge #38 from The Paper Players and Saturday Sketch Challenge #194 from Stamping 411.
