Allison's First Birthday Card
I got on the punch art train when making the girls' birthday cards this year. Here's the one I made for Allison:
Unfortunately I cannot remember which of the punch sizes I used when making this. (This is why you write things down while you are doing it!) I know it took some playing around but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. And you gotta have that pink bow. It totally makes it!
Megan's First Birthday Card
Yes, the twins turned one in August and yes, it is now December. Life apparently happened and I didn't get this posted until now. Don't let my tardiness detract from the cuteness of Meggie Moo's birthday card.
While the stamp set is no longer for sale, the die (thing to cut out the shapes) is and it's currently on clearance. Hurry and get yours before they're gone!

Be Brave Pocket Cards Digital Download
Not a lot of time today so I'm going to get right to it. Day 5 is here and I'm loving today's half-price download: Be Brave Pocket Cards.
You certainly can use the sample cards as shown or you can let your imagination run wild with the different files included in this download. I decided not to use the pocket cards as they were shown in the sample but instead used a few individual embellishments in my own way. Here's my layout for the day (so proud of this guy!):

Pumpkin Patch Layout - My Digital Studio
Did you know today is Digital Scrapbooking Day? Have you checked out Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio products? If you'd like to do a little scrapbooking today and get in on some good pricing (including a free download!), head over and check out Stampin' Up!'s digital downloads; they have tons of super fun digital stuff over on the website. In fact, here's a digital layout I whipped in a matter of minutes using some of my MDS products.
This is my cute little Alli-gator sitting in the pumpkin patch for the first time:
And since today is Digital Scrapbooking Day I thought that was a good excuse to do a little digital designing myself instead of, oh, I don't know, cleaning the house for instance. I don't do as much scrapbooking as I'd like but doing things digitally sure makes things go quickly. For this layout, I decided to use the My Digital Studio special offer products that Stampin' Up! has for you today. They are letting you download the Moments Ago digital stamp brush set for free! They also have a cute kit called Hello There and it's currently half price. But you'll have to hurry over and get yours before the prices go back to normal at midnight!
Note: These downloads can be used for digital and paper projects so you don't have to be a digi-guru to enjoy these products and get in on the fun. Need help learning how to design things digitally or turn digital products into paper ones? Please feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to be your personal coach.

Sympathy - Wonderfall
Here is the second sympathy card that I made for my husband's family:
The backdrop layer for the leaves was actually made using my Big Shot and a retired (from Stampin' Up!) texture plate. I happened to have this already available from another project so I went ahead and used it. It just felt "right" for this card. If you happened to be fortunate enough to get your hands on the distressed texture plate before it retired, this is a good card to use it on. I like that it's a subtle texture which is different from the embossing folders which give you a stronger, more defined pattern. If you would like to purchase this distressed Texturz Texture Plate, you can find it on the Sizzix website - it's in kit #4. Otherwise, I think that the Woodgrain embossing folder would look beautiful here, too.

Sympathy - Blooming With Kindness
Unfortunately, last week my husband's uncle passed away so I had to make a few sympathy cards for the family. Here is the one I sent to his cousin who just lost her father:
I love how soft this card looks. I used the Pink Pirouette Stampin' Pad to ink up the flower then I took a sponge dauber dipped in Blushing Bride ink and dabbed it randomly onto the flower before stamping it onto the paper. In person you can see a subtle color variation that doesn't quite come across in the picture.

Thankful For You
My parents are awesome for so many reasons. They recently helped me out through a not-so-fun situation and I wanted to send them a thank you card to remind them that I do appreciate them and that I love them. I came across this pin on Pinterest which was the inspiration for today's card. I think my version turned out rather charming. I got to use the lovely Quatrefancy DSP as well as two of the new In Colors - Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana. They look amazing with Daffodil Delight!
