Happy Birthday Vicki...

My friend Vicki loves Flamingo's.  As soon as I saw the color challenge for the week I knew I had to make her a Flamino card for her birthday!!!

I'm honored to be selected as one the guest designers for the color challenge CC752 for the month of August. This week's colors were Pacific Point, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight with a Dessert Option of an Embossing Folder.  As soon as I saw the color combo I thought Flamingo's. Flamingo is from Lawn Fawn Gnome Sweet Gnome set.  Sentiment from Skipping Stones Design.  My Favorite Things Die-namics.  I popped up the circle image, flamingo, sun, and cloud to give the card more dimension.

Thank you for looking!

Happy Birthday Sweet Eva...

Have you ever met a person that no matter what you do, that person is in your corner being your biggest supporter and cheerleader???  That would be my sweet and dear friend Eva.  She is always supporting, encouraging, motivating, and cheering for me and my teammates for every ride, race, and accomplishment we achieve.  She has such a huge heart of gold and I'm truly blessed to have her as a friend and nowI get to see her at my new gym.

I was honored to be selected as a guest designer for the Color Challenge CC751 for the month of August on splitcoaststampers, thank you design team! It was my first time being selected as a guest designer and totally made my day! The color selection for the week was- Rich Razzleberry, Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, and Shaded Spruce with the dessert option of "anything goes", which I selected Smooch. I used the MFT die-namics Rose with Overlay and Layered Leaves. I put my copics to work...creating the Pineapple Punch and Mango Melody in the rose and Shaded Spruce for the leaves. I used Rich Razzleberry cardstock to make my ribbon and sentiment. I added some shimmer to the Rich Razzleberry cardstock and on the overlay on the rose and leaves with Smooch.

Me and my sweet friend Eva

Happy Birthday Linden...

Birthday card for my sweet friend, teammate, and co-ride leader, Linden.  She brightens my day every time I see her...she's so positive and encouraging, just a ray of sunshine!

I kept my card clean and simple.  I used the Penguin from Denami Designs, colored with copics, and diamond glaze on the balloon.  Black, White and hot pink cardstock.  My favorite things dienamics.

Linden stayed by my side for my first time up to Ski Valley.  She's an excellent hill climber, while I am a much slower hill climber.  It was so nice to have the company as I usually climb by myself.

Happy Birthday to my Mom by Love...

I made this for my best friend, Kellye's mom, Cathye.  Kellye's family has welcomed me with open arms and have become my family.  Cathye calls me her daughter by love, which makes me well up with tears everytime she says it.  Mom loves to spend time in her garden and do yard work so I wanted to create a card that symbolizes that.

I CASE'd a card from Michelle Zindorf's amazing gallery.  I used Black, White, and SU patterned paper.  Stampin' Up and Scene in a Garden stamp sets.  Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Smoky Slate, and Versamark inks.  Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Real Red and White markers.  Finished off the card with some brads. 

Thank you for looking!
