It's your Birthday

I think I'm finally getting all caught up with everything! About time, right? 

I have some SUPER EXCITING NEWS! This weekend, I'll be attending CHA in Anaheim! It's just plain luck that I'm getting to go at all since it's not opened to the public. I've wished I could do this for years, I can't believe I finally get to go and I am already overwhelmed at the thought of the people I know are going to be there! Can't even wait!

For the first card of the year, I used the sketch for the January Card Challenge on Scrapbook.com that I came up with. As always, you can find them in the left column! If you're looking for my 2011 & 2012 sketches, follow my Card Sketch Pinterest Board, HERE.

  For this card, I used Basic Grey's "Clippings" and My Mind's Eye "Nostalgia" 6x6 pads, which I got from my Secret Santa, Amanda!! Thank You!!

An elephant in a party hat.. need I say more? You can't look at that without cracking a smile, it's impossible! This cutie is from Stampin' Up!'s "You're Amazing" stamp set, which you can see, HERE.

The grey paper from the circle is from Pink Paislee.

I added a couple pop dots under the party hat to give it some dimension.

The It's your Birthday stamp is from Lil' Inker Designs' Acorn Sentiments, which you can see, HERE.

Welcome to the world Riley Roy

I made this card for a friend who needed a baby shower card.

I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #171 for this card. If you've been following me a while, you know that I LOVE Karen Giron's sketches!

This cute chipboard elephant is from My Mind's Eye "Alphabet Soup". I made a bow in her hair using Trendy Twine's "Posy". I added some Glossy Accents on the eye and the toes!

I used GCD Studio's "Oh Happy Day" and American Craft's Amy Tangerine's "Prime Time". The stamp is from an old G Studios mini stamp set that I got years ago. The rub ons (under the rhinestones) are from October Afternoon's "5 & Dime". Last but not least, the Thickers are called Delight!

My stitching got a little too close to the edges for my liking! But, it happens!

I used Bo Bunny's "Basic Dot - Blush" for the background. I stamped Glitz's "Distressing" Image and embossed it in clear. But, I only did that AFTER I spilled a good amount of embossing powder all over me!

Miss You a TON

 Have you been liking my everyday posts? I have so much to share that I thought I'd do everyday for about a week! Hope you're enjoying it!

I made this card for Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #169, another wonderful sketch by Karen Giron.

The back ground paper I used is from Bo Bunny's Peacock Lane collection.

I used Echo Park's "Vintage Fans" (the wood paper) also.

That cute elephant is from Autumn Leaves embellishments called Wet & Wild.

The stamps are Close to my Heart and KI Memories.

I added some washi tape that I decided to get creative with and layer it!

I also added some mini brads and stitching to finish up the card.
