Hello, Sunshine...

Good morning! I hope your Monday was good and that you have some fun plans for today! I do think my card will brighten you right up today!

Today is Going Grey with Scrap Creations Tuesday and today's theme is summer so I decided to go bright with my card (at least the paper...I could not get a good photo for the life of me...sorry about that!). Isn't that frog just adorable? I love the sass! You can find out all about the challenge and the image HERE.

I do believe I'm going to use this card as a birthday card for my niece.

Busy day today so I'm off and at 'em early. Have a wonderful day!

If you have been coming to my blog for any period of time you know that we are an Army family. My DH was in the Army for almost 22 years. You also know my 18 year old son has enlisted in the Army and leaving for basic training this week. In that spirit I will leave you with the following...

Happy Birthday Cupcake

Happy Friday friends! I hope you are having as good of a day as I am! I've gotten quite a few things checked off my list. I still have one thing I'd like to get done but I think I may have to give it to Todd to do.

I found a super cute challenge blog called Cupcake Craft Challenges. Smiley from millan.net I was happy to see that this week's challenge is a sketch! Woohoo!

Anyway I found this super cute paper pack when we went shopping on Tuesday. It has super cute paper, die cut pieces, and even some 12x12 border pieces. I decided I could make a cute card with the papers and pieces and had a birthday card to make so...perfect! Although you can't see it in the photo I did use a glitter pen on the candle flame and other places to give it some shimmer. I'll put the recipients name in the upper blank portion of the circle prior to giving her the card.

Well, that is it. I hope you like the card and will check out the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog. I should be able to get some more crafting in today (woohoo for me!) so hopefully you'll see something tomorrow, too!

Smiley from millan.net Oh, and speaking of cupcakes I'll be making some this weekend for Jon's going away/good luck party on Sunday. I'll be taking a photos of them so I'll be sharing for sure!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
