Happy Fourth of July

Evening Folks -

Well the best laid plans don't always go the way you plan. I had hoped to have this card posted by this morning, but I was struggling with the papers and finding what I wanted. So I am getting in my Fourth of July card in just under the wire (midnight eastern time)!!

I was stalking Shelby's blog and too a liking to a Mayzy Arts digi so I decided to click on her link and found a couple of images that I really liked. My favorite stamp companies don't really carry anything to celebrate the fourth. I wanted to this...I hope you like what I've come up with.

I totally loved coloring this little beauty. I went through all the digital paper that I had from Cupcake Craftroom and I found the red striped paper in one pack and the stars in another. I was tickled!! I also used the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #162 for the basis of my card. I would also like to enter my card for the following challenges: 

*  Paper Playtime: Die cut + Red, white and blue

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July. Thanks to all the men and women in our Armed Services who continue to fight for our freedom. 

Have an awesome evening.

There She Goes Release Week | Day Four

I have been so excited for this day. It's the last day for the There She Goes sneek peeks. When I saw this set it was so hard to keep my mouth shut and not show everyone. I am just tickled with this set.

For all your well-wishing needs, Melyssa has created this SUPER cute and VERY versatile set, Get Well Wishes!! Nothing says feel better soon like a handmade card, and this set contains the perfect sentiments and images to say exactly what you need to say to brighten someone’s day! With sentiments for nurses, too, you will get TONS of use out of this SUPER adorable set!!

Get Well Wishes is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 19 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

I am just so pleased with how my card turned out. I have the perfect person to give this to, my friend Sarah who is a nurse and card maker. She will love this. I wish I had this stamp set while I was dealing with medical issues - I have so many nurses that did so much for me. Isn't this just fabulous? I also couldn't resist seeking out the right paper to paper piece her scrubs. I love that nurses wear scrubs so that children won't be frightened - I found these adorable little monkeys. 

I am also entering my card into Karen Giron's - Sweet Sketch Sunday (SSSC161) DT call. I adore Karen and would love to work for her. She has taught me so much. Wish me luck - the competition is tough.
