Have an Amazing Birthday!

Hi all!

I hope you've had a wonderful week. We are getting ready for a full weekend. Our town is celebrating "Frontier Days". There is lots and lots of excitement to be enjoyed. We also have a singing (what us Southerners call a concert, Southern Gospel style) on Sunday afternoon. So, we are sure to be pooped come Sunday night. But we will have fun in the process. :)

I wanted to share a card I made today.

I stopped by the ABC Challenge blog and used their tic tac toe board to make it.

I inked up my little C.C. Design stamp "Cupcake Kiki"

I dug in my scrap box (I love getting scraps used....don't you?!) for all my card layers.

I also decided to use an eyelet.....I had to wipe the dust off of it before I did though. LOL

I got this new marker, a Wink touch of glitter marker made by Zig. Oh my goodness....I'm glittering up everything with that! It is an extremely foggy morning here (sorry for the darker pic) so I couldn't get a good shot of the glitter but I used it on her shoes, as sprinkles on the cupcake and outlines on the wrapper, in the flower middle in her hair and the little hair ribbon circles. I also made a couple of polka dot borders on the image piece and one of the background pieces. If you don't have any Zig markers.....you have to get one and try it.....You will LOVE it! (I got mine at the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique on FB. Link is in my right sidebar)

Here's the ABC Challenges board I used:

I used the bottom row across.

Pink as All Outdoors!

Hello!

My daughter's birthday is Friday (23rd) and over at Twisted Tuesdays we have included a couple of her favorite things in the challenge this round to celebrate!

The challenge is to use the color pink (Her favorite color). The twist is we want to see some outdoor things on your creation....because Bethany LOVES playing outside. :)

Here's what I made:

This is her birthday card.

I used the cupcake monkey image from C.C. Designs.

The flower and butterfly (my outdoor things) are from Prima.

The sentiment is from a Hampton Art set.

I colored the image with Spectrum markers.

Thanks so much!
