Happy Birthday Barry!!

Today is my darling husband's birthday and to celebrate we are taking off this afternoon and heading up to LA to the Greek Theatre to see Sugarland. We had so much fun seeing them a few months ago that we are really looking forward to seeing them again.

This is also the beginning of my week off of work as my sister and nieces are coming to town on Sunday so we will be doing a lot of visiting, so I'm not sure but we are hoping to get one day to make cards, hopefully that will happen.

Busy Week...

It has been a crazy busy week, I think because it is such a short week at work for met. After having a nice long weekend I worked yesterday then took a Copic's card coloring class last night. Today was a busy day a work with a deadline to be met and then out to dinner with the boys. I did make a card on Monday that was fun and I am trying to use my copics as I am learning. I used a sketch that Elizabeth posted over at Treasured Scrapbooking. Here is the card, doesn't it look yummy and make you want to eat some ice cream!

Trishutter Card Challenge

Ruby aka Inspired Scrapper was our Member of the Month over at Scrappin Coast 2 Coast for June and she hosted a challenge. She challenged us to make a trishutter card and this is the card that I made for it. This was a fun card and I will probably make another one in the future.

Birthday Card Parade

I had a couple of requests to make 4 different birthday cards plus one that I needed to send out. This first one was a card that my mom wanted to send to my cousin for his birthday. I made it for Casey Lu's masculine card challenge over at Scrappin Coast 2 Coast and I used this month's card sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches. Head on over to Sassy Lil' Sketches and check out this month's sketches. You have until July 5th to enter for one of the prizes from this month's sponsors.




This is a card I made for Katee's challenge over at Scrappin Coast 2 Coast, which was to make a card using up scraps. These were the scraps from the card that I made above.



This is the card that I made for my niece Lauren who had a birthday last Wednesday.



Tina had asked me to make a couple of cards for her friend's twin daughters, one needed to be pink and the other purple. This is what I came up with.
