Coffee Makes Everything Better

I came across this collection of brightly colored coffee cups in my stash and I just thought to myself....how cute would these look stacked up on a bright happy card? I am so glad that this card turned out just the way I pictured it in my head....my projects do not always do that...you know what I mean? I used this sweet sketch from Kerry Urbatch for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Sunday Sip and Share blog feature:

I am entering this card in the Coffee Lovers Cardmakers Sketch Challenge

and

also Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Add a Sentiment Challenge.

Finally, I am also entering this card in the Tuesday Throwdown Anything Goes Challenge.

Mwah!

My granddaughter loves purple and looks like the little girl in the Pure Innocence stamps from My Favorite Things so when I saw this brand new stamp in the Pure Innocence line I just had to order it. I used this fun MFT sketch for this fun shaker card that will be my granddaughters Valentine's Day card this year.

I am entering this card in the Sketch Challenge #368 at My Favorite Things and the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Use Something New Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

First Time Beach Bum

My granddaughter Izzy had never seen the ocean or been to the beach until last summer when she was 5 years old. These pictures capture her very first time she felt sand between her toes ar smelled and tasted the salt air. I think she loves the sea now as much as her grandmother! I used this lovely sketch from The Scraproom for my page and am entering it in their

January Jump Start Sketch Challenge

Thanks for stopping in and checking out my blog. I will be back soon with a Valentine's Day project.

Hello -- Get Well Soon

I have a friend who had surgery last week and I wanted to make her a card that would make her smile. She has a few pet birds as I do so I thought I might water color this Tim Holtz crazy bird and send it off to her tomorrow. I used this fun card sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap:

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Birds of a Feather Challenge.

Sending A Whole Lot of Love Your Way

I love these Pure Innocence little girl stamps from My Favorite Things partially because they remind me of my little granddaughter. I decided to color her up and play along with the sketch this week from My Favorite Things:

Happy Human Happy Cat

My son recently adopted a cat or I should say the cat adopted him. He has posted some pictures on Facebook and Instagram and I recently won the Simple Stories Feline mini-collection so it was a

no-brainer to put this page together for Adam's scrapbook.

I used the January sketch from Rochelle Spears Paper/Sketch challenge:

I am also playing along with the Scrappy Friends Challenge by entering this page In

Brenda's January "This Month In History" Challenge. I used option #4 which was to create a layout with the word HAPPY in the title and to use Thickers for all or part of the title.

That is it for tonight...I hope your weekend was as fun and productive as ours was.
