Time Out: Happy Birthday

I'm back for a reminder post for the current challenge over at Time Out!  Our challenge is a word challenge: Unique! I love the Catherine Pooler stamps we got for our challenge - I love sentiments so (Simply Stated Set) very much so I used the sentiment for my card along with repeating the flower - I thought it was fun to have one unique colored flower.

As I mentioned earlier, our sponsor is Catherine Pooler who has amazing stamps, inks and dies. You won't be disappointed having a shopping trip there!

I'm back for a reminder post for the current challenge over at Time Out!  The challenge is a theme challenge to be retro!  I had this fun shimmery paper which is really hard to see (it is the red background).  Paired with a fun die background I thought this made a fun retro card!

I'm back for the new challenge over at Time Out!  The challenge is a theme challenge to be retro.  My dear cousin, Sandie, sent me this fabulous stencil from Funky Fossil:  Arrowhead so it was absolutely perfect to play along. I never seem to have enough birthday cards (get ready to see a lot over the next several challenges) and I decided to ink up this stencil for a retro feeling guy's birthday card.

For Unto Us a Child is Born

My cousin, Sandie, is a guest designer over at Watercooler Wednesdays, and their challenge is to make a card for Holidays Around the World. I'm trying hard to get ahead on my Christmas cards for this year and so I decided to have a play along at the challenge. And to use those Copics I just bought too. Couldn't bring myself to make more than one of these cards but am pleased with how it turned out!

Happy creating friends!  Going ahead and posting this right after I posted another card as the challenge is up soon!
