Pet sympathy card

Hello!
My daughter needed a sympathy card to send to her good friend who's family dog passed away. The sweet little dog was a Shih tzu and my daughter insisted that I needed to make a card with a Shih tzu that looked just like her friends little dog. Our little furry children are such a huge part of our family. I knew that my daughters friend and family were going through a very sad time. So this is the card that I made for them.
Recipe:
Tiddlyinks.com Shih tzu digi stamp
K&Company dp ABRIANNA
Spellbinders Nestabilities Big Scalloped Ovals LG
Certainly Celery ribbon
Lace is from my stash
Pearls are SU
Paper roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts White and Deep Pink
The leaves were made with my new Marianne Die. I love the lacy look of the pretty leaves.
Thank you so much for looking!

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", Card

Hello!
I just finished making my first Christmas card this year! I got this digital stamp from Fresh Brewed Digi's and it's called, "Meet Me Under The Misteltoe". This stamp was a lot of fun to color!
I used Baja Breeze SU cardstock and SU designer paper.
I tore around my colored image so that I would have more space on my card for paper and embellishments.
I used crystal effects and glitter on the fur of the dress and added tiny pearls to her boots. Red stones worked out perfectly for the mistletoe.
The lace, ribbon, Bling and tule is from my stash of treasures.

"Grace Summertime" with June Roses

This is the second card that I made with little "Grace Summertime" from the Fresh Brewed Design Shop! They have a challenge at the Latte Lounge to make a card using Pink and Aqua. I just so happen to LOVE those two colors so I made this card! LOL! The only problem is that I don't think I have figured out how to enter their challenges yet! I'm still learning my way around the sight.
I colored little Grace with my copic markers.
The cardstock is Stampin Up Pretty In Pink and Regal Rose.
The designer paper is "Sweet Nectar" from K&Company
Then I used my new Trellis punch from EK Success and had lots of fun adding some pretty paper roses.
The ribbon and pretty crocheted flower doily are from the treasures that my mother gave me! Thank you, Mom!

Grace Summertime "Sending Sunshine"

Hello! What a nice surprise to wake up this morning and find that I won two new adorable digi stamps from Fresh Brewed Shop Designs! I had participated in their fun Blog Hop for their new digi stamp release!
Coincidentally, I just finished making two new cards with one of their adorable digi stamps!
I made this bright and cheerful summer card with a precious digital stamp called, "Grace Summertime" from Fresh Brewed Shop Designs! They have a challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges for a card with "Lots Of Yellow" right now.
I did my best to mostly use the color yellow. I couldn't resist using a yellow orange color along with the yellow though to help little Grace pop!
I colored little Grace with my Copic markers.
I used Stampin Up designer paper and cardstock.
I punched the pail and shovel beach trim with my EK Success punch.
I also used my Martha Stewart 2 Dot Scallop punch.
I punched the butterflies out with my SU Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.
The flower is punched out with MFT dienamic.
The scallop lace, Bling and yellow flowers are from my stash.
Sorry that my picture is crooked! I had the worst time trying to get a good picture. It's a rainy gloomy day here!

"Connected Girl" Birthday Card

Hello!
I'm so happy that the weekend is here and I will be able to "Play" some more!
This morning I made a birthday card for a young lady that used to come to my daycare! She is a teenager now so I couldn't make her a cutesy card.
I was so excited when I found this digital stamp at Phindy's Place! It's always exciting when you find an image that actually looks like the person that you would like to make the card for! Philomena O'Neill is the very talented artist and her work is outstanding! She has so many great digital stamps to choose from for every occasion!
Phindy's Friday Challenge Blog has a SKETCH challenge, so I used their sketch while making this card so that I could join the challenge!
