Celebrate---A Day For Daisies

Hey all you fellow stampers! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was really good---stamped alot, went to a retirement party for a local pediatrician, and went to the movies with DH on Sunday afternoon.

Today I have a card for A Day For Daisies digital stamps challenge # 2. I believe I announced recently that I had been chosen as a Design Team member for this company. If you haven't been there, please check it out---such beautiful images by two very talented artists! I'm proud to be a part of their team. This challenge is called "Let's Celebrate" a new site, a new team, and new friends! Let's celebrate the good things! A nice place to be, uh?

I also submitted this card for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch "using any previous sketch you like". I chose sketch # 76.

It's All About You! SSSC81

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone's week is going really well so far! I've been busy monogramming some things for Christmas presents and working on some cards. This one is for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge # 81. As soon as I saw it, I was intrigued with the circles down the side---it was supposed to have four, but as you can see, I ran out of room. I always love the color combo of lime green and pink/coral so this card just took on a life of it's own! LOL!

Something BIG! (Sweet Sunday Sketch; Curtain Call Color, Speedy The Cat)

Happy Hump Day! Today I have a card I made to give to my son and daughter-in-law that are pregnant and due in late Jan. 2011. I love Mo's Digital Pencil and Jean Cross told me they had a great pregnancy image. When I saw the sentiment stamp ("This could be the start of something BIG") at Rosie's Roadshow, I knew I just had to have it to go along with the pregnant lady! Ha! Ha!

I'm doing three challenges with this card---Sweet Sunday Sketch, Curtain Call Color, and Speedy The Cat's Friends Saturday Challenge "Use a Punch".
