As I added this little girl to the card, it made me think of a picture my daughter drew of one of her daughters.  This little child is simply enjoying a very pleasurable and fun thing children love to do.  Sometimes we all need to be children.  Children laugh so much more than adults do, and so the quote on this card expresses my affection for someone who does just that ... through laughter and joy makes others happy.  This is a digital stamp from Mo's digital stamps. 

I wanted to do something different with this card, so I took a piece of clear cardstock and ran it through my cuttlebug to emboss the design to look something like stargazing.  I then took light green paper and chalked the top part with blue and the bottom with a green.  The shimmery ribbon was added to break up the area.  This is a card for many of my friends who have been married for quite some time.  This is one of those delightful digital drawings from Mo Manning.

I had a premonition about two weeks ago that I needed to make a few thank you cards. Lo and behold, I did need to give three thank you cards to friends who were of great help this past week.  I love the simplicity of this little fella with that huge sun flower plant.  This was also a Sassy Cheryl's Digi Stamp.  Used my spellbinder and placed another piece of white paper behind it and trimmed around the design.  Tinted the background with light blue and light green chalk. 

This little cutie is from Sassy Cheryl's digital stamps.  She reminds me of one of my granddaughters, with her blonde hair and pigtails.  Love these little girly characters.  And with a great BIG cupcake, too.
I used a variety of items, StampinUp paper, miscellaneous paper, Spellbinder which I embossed and my favorite copic pens.

This little girl could be many things.  I chose to have her give congratulations.  I mounted the circle on top of two spellbinders.  I was thinking of having her say, "I'm freaked out with joy!" or "Give me a big hug".  But I chose the more sedate, "Congratulations!".  This was a digital freebie from Bugaboo Stamps.  I did give her a splash of diamonds.

Every now and then you create a card that you especially like.  This is one.  I enjoyed creating this card and liked the colors I chose.  I hope you do, too.  Spellbinders were a big part of this card.  I used one called Butterflies and another with the scallops.  In between I cut a a circle with dotted paper.  Since the polka dot paper isn't too obvious, I also used the blue/green striped paper as the background.  The pansies were colored with copics and the center of the flowers were touched with a pink sparkly Sekura pen (which you can't really see in the photograph).  And I finished it off with a little bow of Stampin Ups moss green. 

 

I used this little girl once before, but I thought this caption for the picture was very appropriate.  Just the look of her says it all.  I used a spellbinder to make the oval and popped the little girl  up.  I also used a border punch from StampinUp on the pink paper and the brown background paper and two other StampinUp punches for the caption.
