TGIF!!!! And it's my turn to post for Meljen's DT post ,  I really really love Fridays and especially with some Meljen's images in them! I decided for this post to use a fairly new image from Melissa that I just adore.  I have to say that I really really love those little mice!!!  And the fabulous  Camera Mouse  is no exception to this. I mean... look at that face!!!  You can't stop smiling when you see a great image like that.  And this is the entire point of this card!  I really hope it brings a smile to the person getting it!

It's FRIDAY!!!!  wooohooo and it's time for a new challenge over at  Delicious Doodles  and this time our challenge for you is One for the boys. I don't know why but when there's a masculine challenge with the great Delicious Doodles image all I want to do is use some sceneries :) So for my card I used the great  Sunset at Sea I just think this is a perfect masculine image! And I left this card without too much embellishments because I can't seem to equate manly with embellishments lol

Wow time sure goes by fast!!!  It's already time for a new post for  Digital Delights .  For this week I have a more grown up type of card :)  The type that my mom would appreciate lol For this card I used a digi from the fabulous set  Flower set  and I merged it with the sentiment  Thinking of you today. I really love the image and sentiment so I really wanted it to take the main stage... so I left this card fairly CAS.

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share tonight a little card that I did to participate in the great  Mark's Finest Paper oriental sketch .  I looked in the new images that I had from  Nicecrane Designs  and there was one that I thought would be perfect for a little oriental card! Here's the image Fascinating birds 3 that you can find in this great set: I think those birds look exotic... and those little hummingbirds were just fabulous.

Yup we celebrate one day a year that you are born!  But what about all the other days?  Shouldn't they be celebrated as well?  So I decided to make an unbirthday card!  I used the very cute Gilbert Shmilbert  image from  Sassy Cheryl .  I've been getting a few when they go on special... can't really afford my addiction otherwise lol.  And I have made a resolution with myself that I would use my images more!  So this was a great opportunity to do so. I also wanted to play with their challenge  Sassy cheryls challenge  which is Dies and/or punches.
