Time to Celebrate!

The first cold of the season has hit me this morning, woohoo! I've got my tissue box handy at all times. Today I have cards that I made for the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge and this week's Lawnscaping challenge

PS Sparks challenge
I made this card for my dear bloggy friend Kristen, who just had a baby girl last week! I wasn't suppose to put the card on the blog until she'd received it in the mail, but I honestly just couldn't wait to share it with yall! I. Love. This. Card. I used the Paper Smooches set "My Peeps" and "Sentiment Sampler".  I stamped the birdy in black and colored him in with blue and orange Artist Loft markers. The music notes and 'celebrate' are also stamped with these markers. Add some matching twine and that's it!

Next I made a card for the Lawnscaping Challenge, which is to make a Thank You card using your Lawn Fawn stamps.

I made a simple card with a die cut window (scallop fiskers paper punch) so the little foxy from Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Forest" could be peeking through. I distressed the edges with pink and maroon inks, added two pink bling circles, and the 'thanks so much' sentiment is an SRM Sticker that the lovely Virginia sent to me... I love it :)

Have a great weekend! Happy Veteran's Day!
