1st Birthday Card and Fall Decorations Theme

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday and you are not too excited to see a post from me.  Life is just getting in the way of my crafting, but that is OK for this season of time.

 

Today is my granddaughter, Ansley's first birthday.  We went to VA this weekend to celebrate it with her, so I thought I would share some of the cute things that were done.  1st, I will share with you the cute card I did for her birthday.  This is the front.

 

 

And this is the inside.

 

Then here are some things my daughter did to decorate her house with a fall theme.  She used my bigshot and oval dies for most of it.

 

How cute is this pumpkin.  My daughter got her good crafting sense from me.  Actually I think she is better than I am.  

 

How cute are the leaves! 

 

And she made the little names for each dish!

 

How creative is that? 

 

She did such a great job! 

 

And now for the main attraction!  Our little Birthday girl, Ansley!  So, so sweet!

 

Hope you enjoyed my post for today and enjoy the rest of your week!

Sketch 357- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Time for our Monday Lunchtime Sketch!  I know you are excited, because we have been having some wonderful sketches and this one is another great one.  I actual cut out two images for mine today and that is one reason I buy so many punches and dies is because I don't like cutting.  But for some reason I just had to use this stamp set.  First here is the sketch for this week.

 

 

Now on to my sample for this weeks sketch!

 

 

Now do you see why I used the By the Tide set by Stampin' Up!  It is one of my favorite and I used the blendabilities and love the outcome.

 

Here is a close up of the fish!

 

And yes, I did the inside also.

 

Well now it is your turn, so go by and see all the samples of the rest of the design team and link your sample to the bottom of the post.  I can't wait to see what you show us this week.

Sketch 356- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Welcome to our Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  Another great sketch by Mary Jo and so many ways you can work this sketch.  I actually went right by the sketch and used the Butterfly Basics again which I know I already love.  So first here is this weeks sketch.

And here is my sample for this week's sketch!  The flowers were some Jolee's flowers I had just sitting around and I wanted a little more and they just worked out perfect.

 

 

And the inside.

 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks sketch and hope you will stop by and check out the rest of the design team samples.  And, then sit down, relax and make a card and link it up at the bottom of the post.  Mary Jo does pick the top two or three each week.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch 354- Monday Lunchtime Sketch



Happy Monday everyone and welcome to this weeks Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  The sketch this week was just perfect for a birthday card I needed to make for my Grandson who will be turning 2 this month.  He is such a blessing and for some reason this stamp set called Big News from Stampin' Up! was just the set for him.  I had planned on using another set, and I did use it for the inside.  So it all worked out as planned.  So here is the sketch for this week.  Great isn't it?


And, here is my sample for you!

 

And here is the inside of my card where I used Hooray It's Your Day!

 

I love stamping on designer paper and this is just perfect for stamping on.

 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of the design team samples.  I know you will love them.  And please play along with us this week.  We would love to have you!
