I'm an Aunt!

My brother in law and his fiance just had a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Charlee Rose. Isn't that such a cute name. I made this card for them. I can't seem to find the company name of the digi that is in the middle panel of the accordion type style of card, but the paper I picked up from my local Michael's Arts and Crafts store. The duck, bear and boots are from a The Greeting Farm set Oh Baby. The sentiment was found online.

Below is a close up of the first page.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Whimsy's Challenge July 4th!

For this weeks Whimsy's challenge-anything goes, I used the new image called Birthday Dragon. Don't you just adore him? He was colored in with copics and my blender pen was used to add some texturing. Smooch translucent was added to his wings and belly. The cake was also colored in copics, but has brown liquid applique for the icing and gold smooch for the plate. I used my Stampin up border punch. The background embossing on the yellow and green paper are from the cuttlebug happy birthday folder.

Hope you've enjoyed today's creation!

For today's card I chose Lexi's Beach Ball. She is so adorable. She was colored with copics. The sand is two kinds of sand mixed together and then I placed some translucent smooth to make parts of it SPARKLE!! I paper punched Lexi's bathing suit. Her ball was also colored with copics, sparkle was added and then clear applique to give it dimension. A shell brad was added from my stash. The ribbon was airbrushed with green and yellow centers and I placed dew drops in the centers. I embossed the background with a cuttlebug folder and the edges were done with Martha Stewards shells corner piece. The centers from the shells I placed on the right side for fun.
