Cute Card Thursday: First Birthday!!!

The challenge this week over at Cute Card Thursday is a Pinch and a Punch!  They want to see cards for a first something...first kiss, first birthday, first anniversay...etc.  When I saw the challenge, I immediately knew that I wanted to use this image from Mo' Digital Pencil.  It is soooo cute and soooo much fun to color!!  One of the things that I love so much about Mo's images is her attention to detail.  Just look at those ruffled party socks!!! OOOO!

The image is colored with my Prismacolors and handy Bic Markits.  The paper is from a pack I've had forever and so is the ribbon.  I was pleased with how well it matched.  And those cutie patootie cupcakes were made with my new Martha Stewart punch.  I have big plans for that little thing!  Haahaa. 

Thanks for looking!  I love comments....hint, hint!

Cute Card Thursday #75: New Beginnings

The challenge at Cute Card Thursday is New Beginnings, a perfect theme for a baby card and perfect chance to use this super sweet stamp from Whiff of Joy's wedding and baby collection! I decided to use a less traditional color scheme and went with green and purple rather than pink or blue. I'm hoping this could be used for a boy or a girl, but it looks a little more like a baby girl card doesn't it? I could NOT get this card to photograph well (not that my photography EVER comes out well..LOL...I'm still learning). In real life the dress matches the paper much better. For a special touch, I added green fun flock to the baby's sleeper. When I was putting the card together, I kept rubbing it and smiling.

Thanks for looking!
