Best of Greetings - You Made My Day

Last night I got to "Scrap and Skype" with my Sister and Mother. Since my sister lives in Ontario and my Mom and I live in Alberta we set a time, atleast once a month to chat and create.

My Paper Pumpkin has been great because all ofus get a kit and we can all create without needing a lot of supplies. It is neat to see how my mom and sister put a spin on the cards. They are so creative!!!!

I love to be able to spend the time with them both and catch up with my sister. It seems we often get caught up in our lives and lose touch.

I am dedicating this card to my mom and sister because "Scrap and Skyping" with them Made My Day!!!

The White Challenge - I love you!

This card was cased from another card I seen on Pinterest from Cristina at My Paper Secret. I knew I had to case her card when I seen The Shabby Tea Room  "The White Challenge". Of course I changed up the card, added more layers and changed the shapes and accessories. 

If you would like to see Cristina's card you can go to my pinterest board here and find her card.

You're in My Thoughts

This weekend my partner Casey issued me a challenge. He said if I could come up with three cards all on my own he would buy me one thing I really wanted from Stampin' Up!. The big challenge for me was creating a card without looking at anyone's card or sketch as inspiration. The card had to come completely from me.

Below is the first of three cards I was able to create all on my own. This means I completed my challenge and now get to pick something for him to buy me. I am going back and forth between the Bow Die and the Circle framelits. Maybe I will get Stampin' Up's Typeset Alphabet Bigz die... Who knows, I will have to find out if there is a limit to what I can spend.

I think I will be submitting this card as another card in Friday Mashup's challenge.

In order to get the white sentiment punched smaller than the original size I punched the sentiment and then stuck each side back in, one at a time and punched each edge again.
