Wow I made a card, can you believe it

This card is for 2 different challenges. For the Stampers Anonymous group on cafemom, you were to make a Christmas card and over on Card Makin Mamas blog you need to have some kind of embossing on your card.
I used a rak'd image and papers, also used some crimped paper, I embossed the red paper with my new embossing folder. I added 3 green gems.

 

Simple Birthday Card.

The challenge this week at Meljen's Design Challenge was to make a tall skinny card, this is the card that I made using one of their images. I colored the image with BICS and Copics, I used my flower punches, then covered the flowers with glimmer mist.  This card will also work for the Card Makin Mamas Blog Challenge: to pick 3 colors off of a picture of an umbrella that they have for inspiration, well I guess I kind of chose 4, but green, blue and orange is what I was going for, but there is a lot of yellow on the card too, I hope it works for the challenge.

Sending Donkey Smiles

At the Spoon Full of Sugar Blog, they had a DT member get into a bad accident and she lost the sight in her right eye and has a long road to recovery, so they wanted everyone to use this cute little Donkey image to flood Michelles mailbox, in hopes for her to receive several get well wishes.  This is the card I made to send to Michelle.

Simple cards

A simple and quick card I made, the butterflies look so shimmery because I was trying out my new glimmer mist.

First card with my new nesties and new embossing folder, I think I'm gonna like them.  image is by Paper Makeup Stamps.

Our trip to Sevierville

We took a vacation to the big indoor/outdoor water park in Sevierville, TN.  The water park was awesome, we swam most days, all day, got to eat great food.  Took Jason to the knife museum, I got to shop at the scrapbook store, celebrated my birthday there, took Jack to the Aquarium, and Jack played put put golf with his cousins.  Here are just a few pics of the trip, all of them are on facebook.
