If Smiles Were Flowers

Happy Mother's Day!  Sorry for the lateness of this post.  Last night I had a housefull with my two nieces and nephew joining us for a sleepover.  Today, being Mother's Day, was our traditional Mom and Kids trip to the movies.  We saw Rio which was fun for all!

This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we would like to see your magical, mythical and fairytale characters.  I decided to make a sweet card for a little girl using Bunny Fairy: 

Once again I've followed the gorgeous layout from Sketch Saturday, however I've turned it sideways.  The papers are some of my favorite from my stash - a collection of papers from Three Bugs in A Rug from over a year ago.

I love the clean and simple lines of the Pink Cat Studio images so I kept the lines of the card and embellishments simple and clean.  Copic Creations challenge this week is colouring sky/clouds and actually have three different tutorials linked up.  I attempted to follow the tutorial by Dana Christiansen but my result needs work.

Valentines for My Monsters

Happy Sunday!  I spent most of the day at a fundraising crop for the Valentine's Day Hair Massacure.  In Edmonton, Alberta and surronding areas there is a lot of support for this annual event which raises money for the Stollery Children's Hospital and Make-A-Wish Foundation.  My seven-year old son is just one of many kids who has dyed their hair "Kali Pink" before the shave-off February 11th.  Brennan first participated when he was five years old, just in kindergarten.  If you are interested in finding out more about this great event check out here.  If you want to check out my son's fundraising page, check out here.

This week's theme at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is Valentine's.  While I was at the crop, I happily did up two Valentine's Day cards for my two cute little monsters.  The first card is using "Blobby In Love" from Pink Cat Studios:

The layout is from Papertake Weekly and the papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle's collection last year.

I have kept the inside plain to write a special message for my boy.

Second card is for my little princess and it is featuring Lily Lovebug:

Cute Card Thursday has this adorable sketch which I've used with the same papers from Little Yellow Bicycle.

I've added four gems to the corner as my daughter loves everything four - can you guess her age?

I've added Stampin' Up! dazzling diamonds to Lily's wings and headband.  The inside contains a special message for my daughter:

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your Valentine's creations on Paper Sundaes for your chance to win five digital images from Pink Cat Studio!

My cards will be entered into the following challenges:
