Hi All! I've got just a quick little post today :) It seems like there's always a lot of turnover when you work for a big employer so I've found myself making lots of 'Congrats/Goodbye' cards lately. When I was thinking about this particular recipient and how they are moving into a residency program in their field after achiving the accomplishment of a graduate degree I knew that I wanted it to be something encouraging about being able to follow their dreams. I could think of nothing better than using my Little Dreamer stamp set from The Greeting Farm. It has the cutest images and the perfect sentiments. When I was coloring this little guy up I couldn't resist doing his hair in this orange red combo that's become a personal favorite; this stamp just lends itself to the doing something eye catching. Following the challenge over at Cupcake Craft, to have something starting with C, I did this card Clean and simple- plus it was kind of last minute that I was asked so I had to have something that I could put together quickly- but with the sweet image and perfect sentiment I think came together wonderfully. It kinda makes me want to play the 'what do you want to be when you grow up' game- do you think professional card maker is a option?

Happy Birthday to You!
Hi All! I'm sitting here with the Grammy Awards playing in the background after a long day of card making feeling pretty good about what I was able to get done today. I'll probably spread the posts out so as not to overwhelm but I couldn't wait to share this gem! I'm going to be entering it into the Tickled Pink Challenge Blog for their Birthday Wishes challenge which meant I get to use a Tickled Pink image and I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use Lil Birthday Kellita (grab it here)! I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers which was a blast with all it's layers and it really let me play without detracting from my image which I love. It's kinda funny because when I colored my image I got almost done, all that was left was the present, and had a head scratching moment for what color to make it (I hadn't picked out my paper yet) but as soon as I thought of this line of papers with the orange and pink I knew in an instant that I needed to make the present orange and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
This is one of those cards that I wish I could keep for myself but it's already spoken for! Guess I'll just have to make another one :)
