MTME Birthday Surprise!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

I have a special post today for our two MTME birthday girls  Lauren's and Stephanie's !!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES!!! I'm wishing both of you a fabulous day filled with wonderful memories!!!

Even though I don't have any actual MTME Stamp Sets yet, I managed to play with the awesome Sensational Stems Digital Images. I had to familiarize myself with digi images first and I must say they are really fun. Once I figured out how to work my PSE gadgets...it was smooth sailing!!!

Here are my cards for the birthday girls.....



I had so much fun making these cards...I used different colors and switched the designs up a bit. I really like how they turned out!!!  The flower head were cut out and raised with Stampin' Dimensionals. I couldn't help myself but to add my favorite Silver Pearls  in the center :) !!!

Please joing us in this special birthday hop - Dawn, Geny, Katie, KristinMonaPam and Tracey made a card as well!!! When you are done hopping please stop by Lauren's and Stephanie's blog to wish them a *Happy Birthday* too!!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!! Hugs ~S~

IC230, CC278, F4A10 Birthday Wishes

Happy Saturday!!!

Guess what....Jerry and I went to see Tim McGraw in concert tonight... it was totally awesome!!! It was Tim McGraw's birthday tonight....wahooo!!! We all sung him *Happy Birthday* and in return he delivered a fabulous open air concert!!! The weather was perfect and we had a fun, fun time!!! Definitely a night to remember!!!

It's way after midnight and I'm still energized...since everyone is sleeping I escaped to my stamp room :) and checked out some SCS Challenges!!! When I saw that me sweet blogger friend Carol was the *Queen for the Day* - QFTD07 over on SCS I couldn't help but to play!!! Unfortunately Carol is taking a break from blogging/stamping right now, but I know this special challenge in her honor will brighten up her day!!!

I chose to case this beautiful card from Carol's gallery. The only things I changed are the colors, size and the Stamp Set.

Here is my take on it....


This Stamp Set is from Stampin' Up and it's called Watercolor Trio. The layout fits this weeks CC278, the flower theme works with the F4A10 and the fabulous colors are from this weeks CTD90 - using Barely Banana, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pale Plum. Of course I had to combined it all with this weeks IC230 ~ Jazz it Up. This *Jardin Boehme* coaster set fit the CTD90 colors perfectly and I ran with that idea!!! The card itself is straight forward and I hope you like it :) !?!?

Have a fabulous weekend and thank you for stopping by!!! Hugs ~S~
