Finally Friday Sparkle Challenge

Hey everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We got to spend time with all of our family!

Here is a card I made for the Finally Friday Sparkle Challenge! Go check out the site if you like to do challenges! We've got some great ones in store for you! The challenges will be up for two weeks so you'll have plenty of time to link your posts!

I can't wait to see all of your creations!

I'm Thankful For...

the love of my life. He has given me the most precious things in the world, his endless love, support, and my boys. I don't know where I would be without my family.

Cullen and I met before we were even able to drive! We were 14 years old when my Dad drove 15 minutes to pick him up and take us to the movies for our first date. = ) It's hard to believe we have known each other for 10 years, going on 11 now. We haven't been together that long but had remained friends the entire time. He has always been there for me through the good times and the bad as I have been for him. Cullen is the most amazing person I've ever met! It wasn't until almost 3 years ago, on Valentine's day that we both grew up enough to realize we had something that was real. We have had our rough patches like any relationship does. Cullen has blessed me with something that I will wear proudly for the rest of my life. Motherhood. Being young parents has definitely proven to be challenging at times but our love for one another and our children is what keeps us holding strong. I am so thankful to have such an amazing person as my best friend, father to my children and love of my life!

Here is the card that I've made for Cullen for Thanksgiving!

Stamps: French Foliage, Because I Care
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Tempting Turquoise
Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo's you Valentine?

HAHA! I'm so corny sometimes! I put this together a couple weeks ago when I had some free time. I really like the idea but I'm not too crazy about my choice of colors. Anyhow, I just wanted to share. This is using a nugget tin. I bought them through Specialty Bottle as they're quite a bit cheaper there than PaperTrey Ink. I intended to use them as little Christmas gifts but I just don't see it happening so I came up with this instead!

Stamps: Whoo's Your Valentine
Paper: Whisper White, Only Orange, ... Red? LOL
Ink: Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Rose Red,
Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Stickles Polka Dot Emboss, Heart Emboss

This is a set of 12 3x3 cards and envelopes. You could probably get a couple more in the tins if you wanted more than 12. If you make your childrens Valentine cards you could make a variety of cards and this would be a cute way to give them to them. I remember when I was a child I always looked forward to picking out my Valentines and opening the box was exciting to see the different cards! Maybe I was just weird... LOL

Today I've got a Christmas card I made for the clean & simple sketch challenge #117. I made this a few days ago just hadn't got it up yet! I'm not sure if I like the color combo... I found this on a challenge too but can't remember where... oh well!

New Challenge Site!

Hey everyone!


Today I have a special post for you all! A fellow demo friend and I have been working on a Challenge website and it's finally up! Unfortunately, my friend had to step out due to her new career demand but once things slow down for her hopefully she'll be joining the design team!


The site is called Gimme A Break (GAB) Challenges. As many of you know I'm a SAHM and I stamp not only because I LOVE it but to keep my sanity! LOL So PLEASE PLEASE come join me at GAB Challenges!


The site is still in the works but I PROMISE 2 weekly challenges for now! Also there will be a weekly pick for every challenge!


Without further ado... Here is my Manic Monday Sketch Challenge cards!
