Welcome Baby Girl

For this CDAC Progressive Challenge #14, the theme was "Baskets and Bunnies". Since my next door neighbour just had a baby girl a few days back, I wanted to make this sweet card for her. I think this card can also be used for Spring or Easter since she was born in Spring, don't you think?

Just a little card for you

For this CDAC Progressive Challenge #13, we had to use the theme" Spring is coming". Thus, I've used Lia's image, colored it with my prismacolor pencils and used yellow and orange papers for the Spring theme. I decided not to color the little animal and I've only highlighted it with some brown pencils.

My flowers were handmade, added some golden stickles and used some pop dots to give them a little lift. The leaves were made with the MS leaf punch and my nesties were used to make the circle shape behind the image. The ribbon is from Michaels and buttond are from my stash. The inside sentiment is from Create with TLC. I've also doodled with my MS black pen around the border of the card.

This card is for my friend's daughter who has been feeling under the weather since the winter hasn't been very good here.

I've used the Tic-Tac-Toe from Lia's Stamps

where I've used the front and middle rows. I could have used only one row but ended using 2 rows instead.

mirrored it to create this card:

Happy 6th Birthday Evan

Last Saturday, my daughter and myself went to one of her classmate's 6th birthday where she could play mini golf-in-the-dark, bowling and jumping on bouncing castles. She was hooked and of course, by the end of the night, she did not want to go home.

I made an explosion box for this little guy and also, made my own wrapping paper. I have followed the tutorial from stampinuplisa on Youtube. It was very easy to follow and here is what I came up with:

This is the wrapping paper. I have used stamps that I had received as a swap and unfortunately, I don't have the names of these. The sentiment got smudged by my daughter, LOL!

Here is the explosion box:
