If I had my life to live over again..

I'm back from a long blog break. Did you like how it sounds like I planned it? Life got in the way of blog posts! Life getting in the way of the fun stuff, don't you just hate that?!

Then a week or so ago, the one and only Susan Opel invited me to join a facebook group to play along with the challenges on My Favorite Things blog. And if she invites you, you play! Period. {SHE'S PRETTY DARN AWESOME YA KNOW..}

I used My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge #210 for this card.

The boyfriend and my 4th Anniversary was on January 8th, so I made this one for him. Here's a picture of us at California Adventure on the 9th celebrating.

LOVE THIS BOY SO MUCH!

And here's my card! I love this quote and have been saving it for the perfect occasion!

The heart paper is I love you this much by Carta Bella from their Devoted collection. 

The grid paper is Daily Stories collection by Teresa Collins.

The "true story" stamp is from Elle's Studio & the cork arrow is from Studio Calico. Last but not least, the cut chipboard heart is from Pink Paislee.

A special sunday post!

 I made this card for Mojo Monday #258. 

This is also another for the September Card Challenge for Product, which is washi tape.

It's for a friend who will give it to her husband and will be celebrating their 3rd Wedding Anniversary this week!

Wednesday Rewind #9

Welcome to the 9th Wednesday Rewind!

Let's start off with the winner of MFDWR#8... the winner is..... Tracy F!
 

On the 5th of every month I will post a card that I made from a couple months ago up to a couple years and I will lift the card.

 

How do you play?

Lift the card also! You can turn it, add to it, take away from it, as long as I can still see the original sketch in your card!

You can use other challenges with this one, as long as the card is for your own personal use. I don't mind if you use this challenge and sell the card you made, but please do not submit it to be published.

Example: It can be for a Design Team sample, but not used as a card to get you on to a DT. If you're unsure, just drop me an e-mail on the right, thanks!!

Make sure to leave your link in the widget when you're finished to be up for the prize at the end of the month!

This is a monthly challenge. Come back on the 5th of every month for a new card to lift!

There will be a small prize given every month.

The winner will be picked from Random.org to be fair and square!

Challenge Ends: Monday, September 3rd at 8pm, PST.

{That is my Grandma's 87th Birthday!}

(Made Fresh Daily Wednesday Rewind #9)

 I made this card on 4.21.2011.

I made this for my boyfriend Joey and sent it to him a week before we went on our cruise!!

 

 I made this card on 7.17.12 for a customer who needed an Anniversary card for her boyfriend! She requested black and red.. I really like how it came out.. "boy cards" are not my favorite to make!!

 

Happy 20th Anniversary!

I made this card for the girl that cuts my hair, Andrea. I trade her a hair cut for cards.. works out nicely for both of us!! I used to get my hair cut then pay her and she'd pay me more than half of what I gave her for cards she wanted, lol... it's just easier this way!!

This is for her and her husband's 20th Anniversary. If you've been reading my blog long, you know I don't make boy cards well. It's not that I even make super girly cards or anything, but it's easier to make a girl card for me!!

Anyway! I used the fabulous sketch on Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #161.

 For the sentiment, I did 1/2 on the computer and for the other half I used Dear Lizzy Foam Thickers.

I topped it off with a Basic Grey bloomer from their line, Jovial. Who knew a Christmas flower would look good on an Anniversary card!!
