From Alex, "Happy Birthday"

Hi everyone,

I have another birthday card to share with you. This time I used a sketch from Card Pattern {Sketch #109} and a digi stamp from Whimsy and Stars Design Studio. The stamp is called Alex Birthday.

Here's the sketch,

And here's my take on the sketch,

A closer looks.

So here's what I did to this card. I embossed the white cardstock with Cuttlebug folder. I colored Alex with my colored pencils {and gamsol}, cut it and added dimensional glues. Last but not least I stamped the word "Happy Birthday".

Love the simplicity of this card. Hope you love it too.

Now...before I go back to my scraproom and create, I need to share something with you all. Sami from The Scrapmaster's Paradise is doing {not one but two} giveaways on her blog. You need to check it out....
She designs really cute acrylic stamps and also owns a store called SP & Company.
First, she's giving away the new released stamps {April released} to 5 lucky winners. Enter HERE. And, second, she's giving away 3 boxes of scrap goodies. Enter HERE. SO excited!!!

Ok peeps....I'll see you all soon. Gonna work on 2 pages LO tonight. Hopefully I can get it done soon before the weekend. Thank you again for checking out my latest creation.
Take care.
Hugs,

Happy "Choo Choo" Birthday

Today, four years ago, my dearest son, Dustin was born. Oh my goodness, time really goes by so fast. He means the world to all of us in the family. He's grown to be a cute and loving brother, son and train fanatic.

My husband and I spoiled him "a bit" with toy trains ever since he was very little. Since then, all he ever wanted just trains and more trains. I'm not even sure how many trains we have at home. Lets just say...my house is a house of trains :D

So, last week...my husband and I had a discussion about his birthday presents. And we came to a conclusion that we're going to get him another set of train. Then I told my husband that I'm going to make him a birthday card with train image.

Here's the card. I called it Happy "Choo Choo" Birthday Card.
The image I used on this project is from Pink Cat Studio  and Digi Stamp is called Billy Rides a Train. Isn't the stamp so cute..???!! {I LOVE PCS stamps SO MUCH.} I also used a sketch from Card Pattern # 101 Challenge.

Pardon my unprofessional coloring technique. I don't own that many Copic markers yet, so I used regular colored pencils. It was fun... :D

Tonight, we took him to Applebee's for a family celebration. And, the weird thing was...he didn't want to order any cake/dessert. Oh well...he's going to have a real birthday cake on Sunday when we celebrate his birthday with friends.

Well, thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon.
