Birthday Card.....

Today is my nephew Deacons 2nd birthday party. I had already bought his present the other day, but forgot to pick up a card. I know what am I thinking why would I buy a card when I can make one.

Well my reasoning was he'll be 2 he won't care about the card. But in the end I decided to head over to PC Crafter and look at the birthday clip art and see what they had. Well I found this adorable bear. Isn't he cute? The package is called Doodle Heart - Birthday Bears. The kit comes with a bunch of super cute images.

The whole card took me about 10 minutes to make. Ok only because I made 4. 1 for the birthday boy and 3 for the basket. Digital images are just so quick and easy why only cut out everything for one card when you can whip up 4 or more in a few minutes. :)


I even made an insert for the inside with a different image. I can see more digital image cards in my future. I discovered PC Crafter over at Cheryl's blog God and I on the Railroadtracks. She has some super cute cards. So if you have time stop over and say hi.

And beware if you decide to check out PC Crafter's website. Digital stuff can be just as addicting as all the other stamping stuff we already collect.... I know I already have a dozen digital kits. :)

Well I'm off to the party... Hope your all having a great weekend!!

Whiff of Joy 10....

It's week 10 over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog.

This week's challenge is "Any Thing But A Card". It was suppose to be a bookmark, but to make it a broader subject it was changed to this. But I'd already made my bookmark. You can't see it in my picture but I added sparkle to my flowers and the letters. The image lifts up and over the page. It turned out pretty cute. So head over and check it out!!
But I don't know If I'll need it after my husband gets me a Kindle for Christmas...(hubby-hint! hint!) I'm going to have to start a new book so I can use it. I just got finished reading Marley and Me... Super cute book, but sad. My dog Apollo couldn't figure out why I was crying.. Poor guy!!

I'm off to play for a bit... Hope your having a wonderful day!!

Scrapmagasinet Reader Challenge 5......

It's time for another Reader Challenge over at the Scrapmagasinet DT Blog.

And another chance to win some Scrapmagasinet stamps of your choice!!!

This months challenge is to decorate a container.

Well silly me I forgot about it until Wenche reminded me yesterday morning with her email picture of her creation. (thank you Wenche!) So I had to make this up last night after work.

Well lucky me I happen to come across this tutorial over at the With Love From Holland Blog.
So I rushed home, ate dinner and whipped this cute little box up in no time. I thought it would be perfect for some little candies or maybe some small cards?
I love this Santa stamp (Nissen i pipa). It makes me smile. Looks like the kind of days I have. Poor Santa I hope he gets out in time to finish his work...
