Smiley Sunshine

I don't often create rosettes - but I just had to for this sun.  The little scallop sort of makes me giggle because it makes the sun look like he has puffy little cheeks - he's happy about it too.

Anyway......I created this card quickly for the Friday Mashup.  One part of their challenge this week was to create a card with sunshine and the other was to create an easel card.  I left off the easel part this time - knowing I would want to put a lot of time into it, which I don't have this weekend.

So - I'm happy with this little guy.  Hope there is sunshine in your little corner of the world.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit - pop by my booth at the Fort Saskatchewan Trade Fair if you are in the area.

'Brellas & Boots & Piano Hands

The Friday Mashup! this week included using umbrellas in your project - I tried very hard to absorb the positive energy from this card, considering it was snowing yesterday while I was making it.  I know spring will come, I know spring will come.

The second part of the Mashup was to use a Double Z Fold.  I was going to use a belly band to help keep the card shut, but it would get in the way of the umbrellas - so I decided to use the Decorative Label punch tucked under one of the umbrellas to keep it shut.

The Kissing Technique was used for the second umbrella using "Beyond Plaid".

Here is the Challenge:

1. Create a project using an "Umbrella Image".
2. Create a "Double Z Fold Card".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Double Z Fold Card with an Umbrella Image".

I've also been working on getting Elliot's "First Year" book finished.  This is a plain and simple page - but it's a theme we will return to repeatedly.  

Here is the first time we took piano pictures.

He's my little sweetheart!!!!

Hope you have someone in your life that you absolutely love to pieces - young or old!

Thanks for dropping by -
