Whoot Whoot! Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to post before we leave to San Diego! We are going to the Zoo! Should be fun and HOT!
So I wanted to make a card for the Birthday Sundaes challenge - Pink, Green, & White. I knew right away I wanted to use an owl. Which I cut from Paisley but the sentiment had me going crazy! So I originally had "Hoot" but then I liked the look of "Whoot", oh I kept "whoot" the things I obsess over :) Well here is my card.. Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend and stay cool...

Hi Everyone!

I love circle shaped cards, so I knew I was going to play in the challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion. The challenge is any occasion circle shaped card. I also wanted to play in Abby's challenge over at Scrapbookaholic by Abby.  It's her last challenge :( so anything goes  Stop over and join in the fun at both blogs!

For Halloween, I always make cards for my godson's along with some little treats! So I created this card using Wild card for the circle card and welding the spiderweb (also from wildcard) to the center. I just love how it turned out!

Baseball Thank you

Hi Everyone!

Here is a card I made for my brother in law!  My youngest is just crazy about collecting baseball cards. His uncle gave him all of his cards from when he was a kid, and my son was on cloud nine! We made this last week when BBTB was having their challenge and I forgot to post it.  I just looked and it is still open. Bitten by the bug 2  - Baseball from Life's a party. You don't have to have this cartridge to play along, any baseball from any cartridge will work. You still have some time to enter it closes 8/30/11.
