A Few of My Favorite Things

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Miracle Mommas Designs design team and this is my first project as a member of their team.  I used Heather's awesome sketch:

 

I used some of my favorite things on my page as well....My Mind's Eye papers and enamel dots.  I also included polka dots, a wood veneer, chevrons and a pretty little flair button.

What are some of your favorites to include on your layouts?

I Love You to the Moon and Back

 

My granddaughter and I have a mutual admiration society.....we adore each other.  I don't get to spend that much time with her because we live across the country from each other  but when we are together there are good times. This is my favorite picture of Abby and I from last summer so I thought I would use it on a Valentine's Day card that I made for her.

 

I used this awesome sketch from The Sampler Kit Club:

 

 

That adorable stamp was given to me by my very good friend April. You can check out her amazing blog HERE.

 

I am also entering this card in Simon Says Stamps Anything Goes challenge this week.





Growing Up

 



 

I love this Instagram picture of my youngest son and oldest grandson.  Jacob at 11 years old is growing up so fast.  But he is such a wonderful, kind and good person that it brings joy to my heart.

 

I used this awesome sketch from Artful Delight:

CAS(e) This Sketch challenge #11

 



 

This is the current sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch and I was very inspired by it.  I thought about what I wanted to do with it for a couple of days actually before sitting down this morning and knocking out this card. 

 

I used 2 different Cuttlebug embossing folders and the paper is from my recent win over at BoBunny.  It is their Love Letters collection and I LOVE it!  It has the perfect touch of aqua in the collection.  Aqua paired with anything is my favorite color combo currently to work with.

Happy Birthday Noah!

 



 

Our nephew Noah was born nearly 2 months prematurely 5 years ago but is a tall, sweet and healthy child.  Isn't medicine miraculous?  We cannot attend his upcoming birthday party in North Carolina but I wanted to make a sweet card for him.

 

I used Lawn Fawn's cute Winter Owl and paper pieced his scarf and a cute party hat. I am entering it over at Lawnscaping's It's a Party! challenge.

 

  

Other challenges entered are the very first Pinspired Challenge to be inspired by this photo:

 

 

 

I went with the birthday theme and the lime green and blue polka dots.

 

I am also entering it at Scrap Fit's challenge to use stars and at Paper Issues "Fawning Over You" current theme.

 

Happy birthday Noah!!

  

Congratulations

 



 

I cannot believe that my son and daughter-in-law have been married for 2 years already.  To celebrate, I made them this anniversary card.  I used this sketch from Paper Smooches:
