Seize the Birthday: Winter

Hello and happy Thursday!!

It's time for another challenge over Seize the Birthday.

The challenge optional topping for the next 2 weeks is:

WINTER

I loved this theme a lot!!! We have lots of December birthday's in our family.
I have two boys that are the 21st and 23rd, our niece is the 16th, our best friend is the 25th and a few more, I just can't seem to remember. So for me, it was really fun combining the two celebrations!!

For my card today, I am using Penny Black: Mimi's Christmas. Look at all those cute penguins, lined up to give that snowman hugs!! Is't that the cutest scene!!! I could not resist!!!
Colored with Copics and the background was created using Stormy Sky: Distress Ink
I painted stardust glitter glue to the floor beneath the penguins.
The sentiment was created using 2 different stamps from MFT: Pure Innocence
Holiday Hugs & Wishes (Holidays Hug Snowman)
Birthday (Don't Open Until)
Finished off the card by adding white gel pen to the snowflakes around them and bling, to the 4 corners.

So are you ready?
Head over to the Seize the Birthday blog and check out the rest of the teams creations!!
You will LOVE what you see.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

Monster Wishes

Hi everyone-

Happy Thursday to all of you!!

I have been sort of down lately...I know bummer right?

Well, I know the famous saying, things happen for a reason and I believe it. I do!!

Though sometimes it takes that special someone to just, clarify it and put it into a different perceptive for me.

So after much chatter and thought, I am doing just fine!!

Seriously, I am...I doing great! Now, it's time for me to get back on my "A" game! :)

I feel as though I got my Mojo today, because I completed 4 cards!!

I know crazy right?!?

I can't remember the last time, that has ever happened to me!!

So last night, I couldn't sleep, so I printed a few images and just started coloring.

I am sharing with you Party Monster, from Pollycraft. He's SUPER cute right.

Yes...Pollycraft is BACK!!! Yes, folks, she's back and has the cutest images in store.

I have boys and they are no doubt my little monsters. So when I saw the new monster images, I just had to get them all!! LOL!!! What can I say, I'm a sucker for cute monsters and fairies!! :)

This cute fella was colored with my Copics and the ever so cute sentiment is from Penny Black: Dino Party.

Patterned paper is from Echo Park: All About A Boy. The enamel dots you see were sent to me as a gift from my F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S friend Sherry, who is a queen of CAS cards. Thank you girl!!! :)

I added some glitter glue to the candle flare and the party hat.

Well that is all from me today...I will see you back tomorrow for my Stamp and Create w/ Magnolia post.
