A special Birthday for Maci Michael

Today I have a special card to share with you. The Crafty Catz at Graphicat Sketch Challenges are creating birthday cards for s special girl named Maci Michael. You may be familiar to her tragic story..of the loss of her father ,a veteran and hero, He died in a train accident in Midland TX while being honored in a parade. A very sad and heart wrenching story. The idea of making this little girl feel special came about on Facebook on a stamp group that many of the team was a part of...

We all want to make this birthday a very loving and heartwarming one for her as this is her first birthday without her father by flooding this girl with many birthday cards. When our Crafty Momma Cat had asked the design team to participate in this..how could we say no ! It was loud yes' all the way. Cheri has made some sentiments available for this " birthday challenge", be sure to check it out. I have used one on my card.We hope that you join the challenge and making this little girl a card :)

So to a very special girl We send big hugs and wish you a very  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACI !  

Courtney's Card :) 

Graphicat Sketch 23-Just sitting here thinking of you

It's time for a new sketch at Graphicat Sketch Challenges

Today I combined a Sugar Nellie stamp with a sentiment from Graphicat Designs stamp set called Coffee Girl. Fitting for this image eh...they all fit this image but this one was the best. My papers are from Authentique. Flowers are from WOC and the chipboard spoon and cup are from Maya road.So cute huh?? 

Now onto Courtney's project.She did a smash page of herself and sister .

She also used the same sentiment as I. The sister quotes are stickers from Bo Bunny. Not sure the papers lol.

Best Friends

Hi there ! Hope you all had a fab weekend ! I was a little behind in the craft room but I did this card up quick.I didn't get fancy.I know eh?? I mean no flowers..and embellies. I'm noticing that my days just go by so quickly. Although I shouldn't complain cause there are days that I wish would go by faster lol.

So onto my card..For this week's Graphicat Sketch Challenge, I've used this cutie from Saturated Canary .It's a fav of my daughter. She just loves her glasses. My sentiment is from Graphicat Designs. 

"Best Friends...the ones you can get mad at only for a short time because you have important stuff to tell them" My papers are from Kaisercraft. I love the tropical colors of this paper. Hence it's name Tropicana lol.

Sure hope you can join us Good luck ! !

Graphicat Sketch 21 Just Say NO

Well I sure hoped you enjoyed Graphicat Sketch Challenge last week.This fortnight's sketch I twisted a little ...well ok I turned it on its side lol.
 I used a new Anti Valentine stamp   with this Saturated Canary image. I also thought I'd give it a shot on doing backgrounds. Maybe it'll distract you from my awful hair coloring lol.

 I took the cute small cloud dies from Memory Box to create my template to sponge around.Although if there's a stencil(d'oh) that may be easier lol. The pretty spray is from Prima. I'd like to remember where I got the charm...but it was in my stash.

Here's the fab sketch...Can't wait to see what you come up with .Don't forget to check out the rest of the fab DT creations too !

Thanks for stopping by ! 

Oh Cupid...... !

Hello ! Today the Graphicat DT is showing off some new images for our ANTI Valentine's release. If you love the quirky and sarcastic ..this is perfect. We are also welcoming a few new members of the litter box as well. Please welcome Yvette,Regan and Minnie.We will be having a few guests pop in as well.My daughter is playing with us as a guest..you'll see her creations featured her. :)

So here is this fortnight's sketch..fun hey ??

Today my card features one of the new sentiments(cheeky huh? lol ) as well as a freebie image for those who participate in the challenge. Isn't she perfect for these new images ! She was sooo quick to color up as well. A few deets...New Bo Bunny paper Love letters..not your typical colors.But that's what I love.I think boredom happens with black,red and pink.lol The border die is from Memory Box and the hearts,strip are from Pink Paislee Artisian line.I color them up with copics and distress ink.And the beauts of heart cluster,that's cardstock covered with some chunky glitter..ooh my heart skipped a beat lol...LOVE me glitter !!

Guest DT Member -Courtney

Courtney is not a card maker but sure does love to smash !! She has a few books filled up already.So she took the sketch and tweaked it to a double layout in her smash book ! Cute eh??

A quote one of her friends had written so she added it to her page.
