Mother's Day Ewe and Sprout is Two

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  Today at Catch the Bug is Oldie But Goodie day where we feature older but still much loved stamps.  I'm sharing a card made for the best mom in the world: Mine!
My image is Happy Mother's Day to Ewe from Bugaboo Stamps.  I love the Ewe collection.  I kept it simple, and used the sentiment that came with the stamp.
Here's a side view just to sport the circle coming off the card a bit.

Speaking of Moms, my Sprout has made it to year TWO!  This child has made me cry, made me want to try illegal drugs, has taken us to the emergency room, has made her sister bleed....but I wouldn't trade her for the world (that's what I say now anyway!).
I used the freezer paper technique for her shirt.  I used Cricut Cart Mickey Font at 6 inches for the number.  So happy birthday to my Baby!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!

I'm using Doodle Pantry's Tall Trio.  The grass is Cricut Cart Zooballoo at 1.75".  I kept this simple without an outside sentiment.  That's all for today and I thank you for stopping by.

Thinking Love with Just Some Lines

Hello all and Happy Monday!  I know Valentine's Day is over, but I think every day should be filled with love!
Today I'm using a CUTE freebie from Just Some Lines for their current challenge: Hearts & Love.  The sentiment is Cricut Cart Mickey Font at 3/4" plus shadow.
I've been "adventurous" lately, using colored CS for my base and adding a white insert to write on.  Just call me wild and crazy!  I will also be entering this in this months Crafty Calender Challenge: Love is All Around, and this week's Make it Monday: Always Anything Goes.  Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Moose Friends with Doodle Pantry

Hello all and Happy Hump Day!  So my uncle is 80 years old this year!  Considering everything in his life, that is quite the accomplishment.  He is a strong and caring man and I have the honor of calling him uncle.  The request was to send a card with a special memory:
I'm not really good with guy cards, but I think this image from Doodle Pantry's Moose Friends set is perfect!

Love Banner

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I've never been big on Valentine's Day, but with two girls, I can't help but to decorate and do things for my girls.  I've seen these banners all over the web and I tell myself "I want to make one" and never do.  Well, this year I did it!!
I used Cricut Celebrations for the banner at 5", George hearts at 1 3/4", and Mickey Font at 1 3/4".  Using Beanie as my inspiration, I even went and got fine glitter for the letters.
I hate glitter, but she loved it.  Now, I don't know if there's a technique to these banners, but I'll tell ya, I used a LOT of glue.  But it'll never come apart!  So that is my share for today.  I thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

I'm featuring Attitude Car by Bugaboo Stamps.  Perfect image for my thank you card to my big brother who recently fixed up my car to keep me running for another 100k miles!  He's an ASE Certified mechanic - I love telling people that, because if you know anything about mechanics, then you know that's a pretty big deal.
