A Birthday Wish for Allie


The new Can You Digi It? Challenge is called Button It Up. I needed to make a birthday card for my youngest daughter Allie. She will be 17 today. She loves the beach so I decided to go with a beach theme and use the ReviDevi Sail Away With Us Lighthouse. I also used a few other items from the Can You Digi It? store including a button from the My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up pins and buttons set and the My Favorite Things Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses die. These rolled roses were so fun to make after I watched this video tutorial - before the tutorial they were not so much fun - LOL! After you get the hang of them, you can make them super quickly.

Other supplies used:
Netting from a Babybel Cheese Package
A little crab sent by a friend
SU! cardstock
Hobby Lobby designer papers
Copic Markers
SU! Kraft Ink (for sponging on the edges)

Dig out your buttons and come play in the Can You Digi It? Challenge - you could win a $10 store certificate and the store has some amazing things.

Hugz to all and Happy Birthday to Allie!!!!

    Nancy, your card is so special for your daughter.
    Love the beach scene you created. My granddaughter
    loves the ocean, I am afraid when she is old enough we
    will lose her to warm climates and the ocean!!

    Hugs

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
