Thanks with a T

I made this card for a special thanks for a special friend. If you follow this blog at all you know that my oldest son and his wife have recently adopted 3 little girls - well this adoption gives them 6 children, all adopted and all are ages 8 and under. So, to shorten this story a little, a friend of mine from work is making all 6 of the children t-shirts with their initials and so I made this card for my friend Mary to thank her for making the t-shirts for my grandchildren. I also made this as a challenge for StampTV. The challenge was to use the colors yellow, wine, and kraft. I found the designer paper in my huge supply of paper that I have been gathering for years. I paper-pieced the tee shirt and used the cuttlebug folder for the circle background. Thanks so much for looking. Have a good week. This sketch is loosely based on the sketch challenge this week from CPS Card Sketches. 

Lift Up

Now this card was made for a specific person - my husband. He is so supportive of my stamping and sometimes I just have to make a card for him. This card was made for the Blast from the past challenge on StampTV. The challenge was to use shaving cream for the background. That was fun to do. My hands did get kind of inky though. I used the Eclectic Summer Stamp set and one of my wonderful Nesties. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Wishes

This time the colors are the right ones for the GinaK Monday challenge. Kraft, black, and white is really a lovely combination. I have several birthdays coming up this month so there will be a few birthday cards popping up. I also still have valentines to make so expect a few more of those. Tomorrow it is back to work, hopefully I will be able to make a card or two during the week. Thanks for looking!

Another first

I am going to try to post a card I made today. I made this for one of this week's StampTV challenges. Oh my goodness - I think I did it! I am not sure if I am breaking any rules but I am also going to post this for Melanie's anniversary blog hop. Another just to see if I can do it.
