CAS Christmas April ~ A SONG ~

Bonnie is our hostess this month for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge and she would like us to use a Christmas song on our card.

Now I suppose this little tune will be with me all day!!

PTI Pierced Feature Frame 

PTI Ombre Christmas Sentiments

Lil' Inkers Bells

The Greetery Fit to be Tied

I actually made this card first, then after asking my BFF if she thought this would be "CAS" enough, she suggested maybe only ONE bell instead of three!  And I agree, but I do love the three bells twined with a thin ribbon and the same Fit to be Tied bow for the top!

I hope you will join us this month, go check out all the fabulous Christmas card songs by the team and our special guest Birgit, you can find her here: https://bigganed.blogspot.com/!

Seize the Birthday ~ Cards for a KID!

Just in time for my favorite three little people's 2nd birthday!

The Seize the Birthday Challenge is a card for a kid!

In my case it is for 3 kiddos!

My BFF, Linda (http://linscraftcorner-linda.blogspot.com/) has triplets and they all moved down here to Oregon, YEAH!

Their mom loves all things animals!

I pulled out the adorable elephants from WPlus9:  Unforgettable and went to town creating my scene!

Can you tell I made the girl in the center and a boy on each side of her!

And I can't believe they will be 2 years old in just a couple of weeks!

I am sure Linda will be posting some adorable pictures of these three on their birthday!

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look, do you have a special "little" someone to celebrate?  Then won't you join us at Seize the Birthday where the topping is a CARD for a KID!

Or if you are not into toppings, then just make a birthday card and enter our challenge HERE.
And our Special Party Guest Stef has a card to share also!

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ sentiment as focal image

Hi friends!  Today I am hosting the Seize the Birthday Card Challenge and I am asking you to make a card using a sentiment as your focal image!

I had a large sentiment from Mama Elephant that I thought would be perfect for this challenge, and it just so happens I purchased some yummy embossing powder when I was at a retreat in Nashville, Indiana this last October, it is a Ranger EP and called Aqua Tinsel...yes it has glitter in it and it shines up beautifully!

 Here is a side few so you can see how pretty this aqua tinsel really is!

I mounted it onto a PTI Hawaiian Shores cardstock and also stamped some of the stars from the same set.  Quick and easy kind of card, but it is beautiful with the fun embossing powder!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just

stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!     The choice is yours!

 Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

 

Please visit the design team for more inspiration and also our fabulous Special Party Guest Joyce from Cards by the Sea.
