Helllllllllo! Happy Saturday! All over blog land I have been hearing about many of you covered in snow! Me too. It snowed A LOT today! I am so thankful that my hubby does the shoveling! I have trouble with me neck and shoulders and have to watch how much I lift and what I do, if I shoveled I would pay for it dearly for a few days! There may be a lot of snow, but at least it's not as cold as it was! And at least it didn't rain like it was predicted! I hope all of you who are covered and are having a hard time that it gets better fast! I know that if your not used to it, it's overwhelming.
We have another great Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge for you! Our sponsor again is a great online store Simon Says Stamps! I am sure you know what a great online store they are! :> And what a great prize they are offering today, $10 gift certificate to there store to our winner!
Our challenge is different today as we are Getting Sketchy!!!! (I so love the name of our challenge!) Jenny made a sketch for all of us to play with!
Today we are celebrating a sweet baby boy's first birthday! It's always great to celebrate with friends!!! I needed to make a birthday card for him. I was planning on using this sketch to make a Valentine card and started. I didn't like it. Than it clicked for me and I used it for his birthday card:
I don't know if you can tell but I flip die embossed the clouds in the background! (I used the back of the die to emboss the background) And the clouds are felt! I am really pleased with how this turned out!
