Creature comforts LOTV #120

Another quick post from me today, this was done for my little nephew James who turned 6 two weeks ago. I made him this card which of couse couldn't be frilly so I kept it clean and simple. I had to remind myself no flowers. I find CAS cards so hard to do, I always want to add something. I got to see him on Saturday and his new baby brother Alex (yes ladies I'm a Great Aunt again) he is all of two weeks old. I thought it was so sweet that Mom and Dad came to our house which was sort of a surprise. They knew hubby couldn't come to them to visit the baby, so they brought the baby to him. And yes, tears are still in my eyes because I couldn't believe how thoughtful that was, they have know idea how much that touched my heart.

Anyway here is the card I did for James



My angle shot:



And here is the blanket I made for his little brother Alex who born the 28th of October. Now talk about a birthday present especially when James' Birthday is on the 27th of October.

It's A Treasure Hunt - LOTV #118

A quick post from me today, I followed Bev's sketch over at Lili of the Valley. Once again, I've had this adorable image since it was first released and am first getting around to using him. This is for my friends son a little belated but, the thought is just the same. So I thought I would make it a little interesting since it is pirate themed after all. So his sister is hiding his gift cards around the house with clues and he will have to go on a treasure hunt in order to find his three i-tune gift cards.

Unfortunately, I will not be there to witness the hunt, but I am sure that I will hear all about it on Thursday when the hunt begins. So Good Luck Steven.

My First Shaker Card...

I've had this cutie for some time now, but just never inked him up until now. What was I waiting for.. beats me.. but I do have a few of those that I must have and then they don't see ink for awhile. I am entering this into the Lili of the Valley Challenge this week since the theme is Fun and Games. And yes, he's on his way to the lake to play with him boat. I also decided to play along on the Crazy 4 Challenges after I saw all these shaker cards, first on LOTV, and then on Cindy Haffner's blog so thanks for the inspiration guys. What fun this was to make, and it was so easy, I know I'll be making a few more. So with all that said and done here is my take on the shaker card.



A close up of the shaker.. Ok I kind of went overboad with the sparkle. Will put a little less in my next one...

Once again I made a box to go along with it. Since the paper was already embossed with the sail boat. I decided to leave it and not add any embellishments to the box. I didn't want to hide the beautiful boat. So here is a picture of the box

The box and the card:

The card in the box:

Hope you like it.. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts which you can find HERE and the twine and the charm are from The Ribbon Girl which you can find HERE

Love Blooms

My Sister and Brother-in-Law's Anniversary is on the 17th. I thought this image from Lili of the Valley: Love Blooms was perfect for them. I followed the sketch at Lili of the Valley created by Dawny.
Since, I used Basic Grey papers, this also fits this weeks Basic Grey #37 which is All Heart. Since there is a heart on the sentiment and the tree is shaped like a heart, it counts right....

Magical Birthday

I knew I had to ink this LOTV up and follow the Lili of the Valley theme this week which is anything but a square. I loved using these colors, which is not colors that I am used to using, but it was fun, to use something that was a little different for me.

This looks much better IRL..I embossed the bottom and then stickled it, but the camera wasn't catching it right, so it sort of looks like mush..I tried a few different times, but couldn't get the right shot..Sorry.



This fits the following challenges
