Sassy Cheryl

Well it's the wearing of the green here in New York today, and I sure in your neck of the woods as well. It's St. Patrick's Day and we are all Irish for the day. I am anxiously awaiting my Irish Soda Bread hot out of the oven. It should be down soon... I can't wait. Over at Sassy Cheryl, the theme this week is green and what better image than this adorable little girl playing the fife called Saint Patrick's Day Patty that you can find HERE. All the paper is from my stash, the flowers from Wild Orchid Craft and ribbon and twine from The Ribbon Girl.

so without further adieu, here is my version of the wearing of the green.


For the inside of the Card, I found this beautiful poem that was perfect,

Get Well Soon Nikki

This weeks theme at Sassy Cheryl is quite easy. No Designer Papers. I find I always reach for these already pre-embossed cards that I found at either Michael's or AC Moores not sure which one. So I decided to make my Sister In Law a get well card since she went in for knee surgery this week and will be in the hospital for about 3 days and then in rehab for about 2 weeks. So I thought this cute image would be perfect for a Get Well. It is called Artifical Flower Girl, and you can find her HERE

Happy Birthday Stupid

Now for those of you who follow my blog, you know about my sister and her antics. Her bunny ears in pictures, and how when we were little she always got me in trouble. Hey isn't that what big sister's do. But no matter what I still love her. As soon as I saw this image at Sassy Cheryl called Very Sassy Opinion which you can find HERE, I knew it was perfect for her and this is why. When we were little, she told me that when she stuck out her tongue it meant she was calling me stupid. So there we were sitting at the table eating diner and it was nice and quite and what do you think my sister does.. You got it, she sticks out her tongue. So I say "Ma, Laura called me stupid" to which my Mom says, Laura didn't say anything stop trying to get your sister in trouble.. So she does it again, and I say "Laura called me stupid again" then you see that smirk...you know that smirk...Ha Ha I got you in trouble. This went on for a few days before my mother caught on.. then guess who got in trouble... So Laura my sweet and loving sister..Happy Birthday... I love you and this card is for you.. I went for the vintage look because I found these gorgeous digital collages at an Etsy shop called
Iralamija Shop. She has gorgeous collages to down load, I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them, and will probably add an element to all my cards whether it's a small ticket or one of her gorgeous postcards they really are a must have. You can find them HERE

It's a Blizzard

Well it's a White on White Blizzard over at Sassy Cheryl's this week challenge and I decided to use this Flat Bottom Snowy again, before he's forgotten about until next year. I think he is just so cute and you can find him HERE. So here is my take on this week's It's a Blizzard. A word I don't want to hear in the forecast espeacially after getting snowed in last year on the day after Christmas and New York came to a stand still for the first time in years, and I had tickets on the 27th to see a show, and in New York, the City never sleeps. And speaking of shows, I am Broadway bound again or I should say off-broadway bound to see Rent tomorrow for a matinee...

Ok enough of that...here is my take on the White on White Blizzard challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's hope you like it, and I hope it's OK since there is a touch of color...

Warm winter Wishes - Sassy Cheryl #92

This week at Sassy Cheryl the theme is Winter. I thought this adorable flat bottom snowman would fit the bill for the winter theme and you can find him HERE

Told you I have tons of birthdays this month, and still have a few more birthdays to go. I also followed this beautiful sketch at Papertake Weekly which you can find HERE



I used this beautiful paper that I found at Michaels from Reflections which to me is very warm and rich, and because it has kraft undertones, I decided to give coloring on kraft paper a try and with the help of my DT buddy Dorcas and her wonderful tutorial here is my first attempt at coloring on kraft paper.
