Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Today is another wonderful Wednesday and I'm going to meet my son's teacher tonight at his school. Good excuse for me to see my son, well I only dropped him off on Sunday night!!! Yes he's doing well, he only feels homesick when he hears my voice thank goodness they can only ring home once a week. He rang last night and he sounded so grown up and he'll be home in the weekend again.
Congratulations to all our winners this week there were some awesome cards and I'm learning for you also with all your wonderful ideas!!!
This week Arlana has another wonderful sketch for us to work with and our sponsor this week is Whimsie Doodles and my cards have been created with the both of them, I do hope you like them.

I like very much your cards. With the same image you made two very different cards. I have a small preference for the card(map) with papers Kaisercraft because I like them.

Hi Kathie -
These are just the most wonderful cards! Fabulous paper combinations that add such interest and perfectly coordinated embellishments on each one too. I could never determine which one I like the best because they are both equally fantastic!
