You're on my mind

This birthday card is for my friend who LOVES ice-cream!!! I have used the sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday (see right) used the image from Pattie's Creations.  I am entering this card in the last progressive challenge over at CDAC where the theme was "Summer's Sizzles" and Pattie's Creations where I have used gems, glitter, ribbon and sentiments.

The sentiments are from Create with TLC and Stampin' Up. I have repeated the image 3 times and flipped the sketch, colored the ice creams with prismacolors and use dmy Swiss dots folder for the background.

My Hero

The inside

Hope everyone had a great memorial weekend and I have been off from blogger for a while. My family and myself went to NYC & Montreal the previous weekend. We drove to there and of course, we were all pooped out especially the little ones. But now, I'm back to blogland and hopefully, I'll be able to catch up...

For today, I started with the Mojo Monday 243

To get into the spirit of things, I made this patriotic card using Meljens "Patriotic Bear" using red, blues, and white with a bit of sparkle and shine and the "My Hero" badge is from Create with TLC.

Baby Shower

This is a card that I have made for the CDAC Progressive Challenge #17 where the theme was "You've got the cutest little baby face!" but we didn't need to follow the theme and so, I went with a baby shower theme. One of my friends is expecting a baby by the end of this month. We're planning a surprise baby shower for her and I do hope she will like this.

Usually, I place my image on the front of the card but this time, I wanted to try something new, that is, have the image inside the card. It was a bit tricky to come up with something but I love the result.
