A special birthday card for a special boy

We've hit the spring birthday rush!  Saige had 3 birthday parties in 1 week!  We went to Bennett's birthday party on Saturday and the theme was "All things B".  When I went to put together a card I started looking through a few different sketch challenge blogs to see if anything struck me.  When I saw the Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch it hit me and I think it's the fastest I've ever put together a challenge card. 

I was really happy with how it turned out.  I used the Honeycomb embossing folder to create the soccer ball.  I didn't quite get the black spots on the ball right, but I figured there was enough over it (and he's just 2) that it wouldn't matter too much.  What do you think?

Celebrating Sale-A-Bration

It's Sale-A-Bration at Stampin' Up right now!  That means you'll get a free product for every $50 you spend (ask me for more details).  I try and save a big supply order for Sale-A-Bration time and get some of the free fun stuff.  Here's a card with a ton of Sale-A-Bration items on it.  I used the Fab Friday Sketch #11 and the Create with Connie and Mary #CCMC238 color challenge (Calypso Coral, Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade).

I LOVE the way this card turned out.  I used the new single stamp that fits the framelit.  I think I'll probably use it a lot in my scrapbooking so I had to have it.  I also used the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set, the Vintage Verses stamp set and the Sycamore Street DSP.  What do you think?

That's the ticket, Valentine!

For today's card I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #72 and the colors from the Pals Paper Arts #152 challenge this week (Real Red, Pool Party and Primrose Petals).  I decided that I wanted to use the laser cut heart so I flipped the sketch on it's side.  I absolutely love the More Amore Designer Series paper pack.  I'm not sure I could have done the color challenge without it!  I'm really looking forward to scrapbooking a few pages of Saige using this paper this year!  I used the Tiny Tags stamp for the little ticket punch.  It's a pretty good fit.  I wish there were a few more stamps for the tiny ticket.  I'll keep holding out hope that there's one in the next catalog :).  I hope you like the card!
