Happy 80th Birthday!

Hi Everyone!

I made this card for my Mother in law's 80th birthday. She is such a sweetheart and she really doesn't look or act 80! She is a very kind lady who welcomed me into her family with open arms! I've known

 her now for 12 years and she's the same now as when I first met her! 

I used my new Simon Says Stamp "Circle Sayings" set to make this a shaker card. I used paper from one of my favourite papers Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge 6x6 collection. I love the sequins you can get from Pretty Pink Posh! Her colour combinations are awesome! 

I added some paper flowers along with some pearl sprays as my embellishments.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Flowers, leaves & hair band: R81, R83, R85, YG63

Cake: R81, R83, R85, Y26, C0

Outline: B000

Dress: Paper pieced

Here's the inside of my card. 

I used one of the smaller SSS Circle sayings on the inside.

We had a lovely surprise Party For her Saturday with all her 4 children, their spouses, 6 of her Grandchildren and 2 of her Great Grandchildren in attendance! She was completely surprised and thrilled that we all got together! Family really is what it's all about!

It's A Boy!

Friends of ours just became new Grandparents for the first time! It's such an exciting time for their family right now. I wanted to make a special keepsake card for the new arrival. I used the C.C. Designs image from the Swiss Pixie collection called "Baby Boy". This stamp sees to be my go to stamp for making Baby Boy cards! I just think he is super adorable!

I used designer paper from the Doodlebug Snips and Snails collection. Lots of die cuts add to the layout of my design. I personalized my card by adding Cohen's name and birth weight.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47

Sleepers: B91, B93, B95, Y11, Y15

Puppy: E43, E44, E47

Bottle: R20, B91, C1

Blocks: Y15, B93, YG11

Ground: W0, W1

This is my favourite "new baby" sentiment from the Amy R Welcome Little Ones Sentiment set. I'm so excited to meet Cohen! He's a lucky little guy that has a wonderful family to love him!

Graduation Time!

Hi everyone!
 Graduation is right around the corner for 2 of my favourite people! Both my Nephew and my Cousin's Daughter (I like to think she's mine on loan to my Cuz, LOL) are graduating from Grade 8! I have no clue where the time went, as I  remember like it was yesterday when they were born! I'm not getting older am I? 

I used the set from Your Next Stamp called Grad Kids. It has the 2 images as well as 2 sentiments in the set. I coloured the images with my Copic Sketch Markers, and then fussy cut them out with detail scissors. I added some ribbon and twine to each card. I thought for my nephews card He would appreciate the twine, as it's not so "girly" LOL. I added some YNS Gumdrops to finish it off.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair girl: E31, E33, E35, E37

Hair Boy: E43, E44, E47

Hats & Robes: N3, N5, N7, N9

Blues: B24, B26, B28

Reds: R24, R27

Just a simple inside of the card using one of the included sentiments. I stamped the sentiment with embossing ink and then sprinkled silver embossing powder on it. I used my heat tool to set the ink and powder.
