Fun Cards!!

I got to play a little yesterday!!
I made a couple of really fun cards.
(and one rather plain one!!*L*)

I Did It had an open challenge this week.
I needed a baby boy shower card and made this.
It was the card of the week
over at sb.com a couple weeks back.
It was much easier to make
the second time around!!
I just think it's so fun and cute!!

This one was way different and turned out way cute!!
It's for Paper Cupcakes shaped cards challenge.
The turtle is from Birds Cards.
The inside says, "I hope you're
back on your feet again soon!"

And last but not least;
make a card with a door on it.
I used lots of stickles on this one!!
I also used paper glass for the stone work,
 just to make it stand out a touch.
The image is from Beccy's Place.

That's it for me today!!
Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Until next time............tootles!!

The Rest of the Week!!

I did really well with doing Sunday and Monday
challenges on those days!!
Tuesday and Wednesday I think I only accomplished
one. Thursday I had oral surgery,
and man did they give me good drugs!!
I slept like a baby all day Thursday, all night Thursday
night and until about noon on Friday!!
That was nice!! *smile*
Friday proved to be rather busy as my sweet,
little baby girl turned 14!! How did that happen??!!
So that just left today to catch up!! 
Here is what I got done:

Paper Pretties-anything but a card.
Whimsie Doodles-favorite image/stamp.
I know this is pretty plain, but it's for in my
purse so I can't have anything sticking up
or it's sure to get knocked off.
I love this stamp. I really should use it more often!!

Flutter By Wednesday-celebrate with an angel, butterfly or fairy.
Friday Mashup!-gate fold and numbers.


JUGS-sketch.
Daily Bread-dots or stripes.
Gem of a Challenge-photo inspiration.
