Use your Stickers!

I wanted to keep this little card clean and simple. I made it from some scraps of paper.

The Burlap and Buttercups challenge was to use your stickers! I thought this was a great challenge! Burlap and Buttercups posts one challenge a week and you have the whole month to participate in any of the challenges that you would like to! And you play for great prizes!

I Love Spending Every Day With You

Whew! I definitely owe you some inspiration! I put family first this Thanksgiving and had a lovely time visiting with both my husband's parents (my co-parents as I like to call them), my parents, my grandmother, two of my cousins, and Peter (Hans' brother). We had such a lovely time!

Well you are going to get TWO cards today and one tomorrow and the next day! I'm re-vamping! :)

You Make My Rainy Day Bright

I. Love. ShopPumpkin Spice.

I. Also. Love. 3 Birds On Parade.

Haha! I'm SO sorry if two of the chubbiest cute blue birds in a row are too much, but I just love them! This was actually the first card I made and I made it for Shantaie. 

I won her blog candy which was 3 Birds on Parade and I have been having a lot of change going on in my life and it's been pretty hard on me. I'm a creature of habit. Husband got new job, new car (that's the fun part), moved out of our house in 5 days flat... just a lot for me. I know that we're right where we are supposed to be and change is sometimes hard, but there is SOOO much to be thankful for EVERY day. And when I won that blog candy I teared up and I wanted to let her know that on a rough day, her generosity was the thing that made me smile from ear to ear. 

Everything on this card came from Shop Pumpkin Spice except for the crinkled ribbon.

This also might be one of my favorite cards I have ever made.

World Card Making Day Core'dinations Challenge!

Quick post for today, but it was SUPER fun that my husband woke up and said, "I want to make a card!" So I spent most of the morning helping him make his card which I will show at a later date. :) 

However, here is my card that I whipped together to participate in the Core'dinations WCMD challenge and monthly October Challenge! 

Recipe:

Cardstock: Core'dinations Elements and Nostalgia packs™

Cartridge: Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons™

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Leafy Branches™

Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: Happiest Moments™

Button: MME Lost and Found 2 Sunshine "Memories" Buttons™

Ribbon from my stash and twine is PTI

Here is the color challenge swatch. I was really inspired by the example card by Ellen Sosnoski. I am looking at it now and my oranges are more yellow than orange, but I promise I thought they looked close in real life before I cut them. :( 

Lucky to have you for my friend
