Happy Birthday Joey!!

My brother Joey's birthday is March 24th.  He was the 5th child, after four girls! YIKES!!!  We dressed him up in girls clothes and put makeup on him and generally treated him like a doll baby!  (Poor thing!)  Despite all that, he ended up being a mechanical, camping, hunting ,fishing, 4-wheeling kind of guy that went his own way in life.  He's only 45 minutes away, but we don't see or talk to him a lot (probably his punishment to us for torturing him so much when he was such a young tyke).  ANYWAY..this boyish image made me think of him today.....and so long ago!!  I kept the card kind of plain and boyish colors except I did add a bow.

I am entering this card in the Polka Doodles- Let's Hear it For the Boys Challenge.
The stamp name is "Eli & Frogger" fromWhipper Snapper Designs"Inc.  (CY923)
The ribbon is from Michaels Stores Inc
The sentiment I made up & printed myself!!
I colored the card with colored pencils & gamsol!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Birthday Card

My Coworker Karen's 50th birthday is on April 13th!  Yep...she was born on Friday the 13th...and she swears that exempts her from any superstitions!!  She lives alone with her calico cat Kenney, and loves to talk about how they know each others habits, feelings, thoughts, quirkiness!!  So I thought she would get a kick out of this 50th birthday card for her!  I am entering it in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday # 102, and the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 232.  Hope you like it!!

Enfy's Lace & Butterfly Challenge

This card was made for my beautiful foster granddaughter (name cannot be legally mentioned) on her legal adoption date, which should happen in this year.  The card is so appropriate...she has been with my daughter & son-in-law since before she was 2 years old, and has BLOOMED beyond expectation!!  She is now a 4 year old sassy, know-it-all, mother figure, who mimics my daughter in her cleaning/safety habits...she is priceless!!

The background paper is from the Blossoms & Butterflies stack by DCWV.   The stamp is Stampabilities called Lucy Watering Her Flowers.  The sentiment was a freebie from another stamp set purchase, and I can't remember the company for the life of me.  Which is funny, because when I received it, I thought, what the heck am I going to ever use it for!!!  That's just the way life goes!!!  Hope you enjoy it.

Weddings

I created this card for my niece & goddaughter Susie, who will be married this Saturday, March 10th.  Needless to say she is very, very excited and so ready to marry her fiance Daniel and live happily ever after!!!

Happy Birthday Emily

I made this card for my daughter Emily's birthday.  She was 34 years old on March 1st, and is a fantastic mother of five!  She is a stay at home mom, that tries to make every event in her children's life a memorable event!  She scrapbooks all their events, and loves to cook, and bake cupcakes & special birthday cakes for all her children!!
