Madisons birthday card

I made this card for my granddaughter, Madison who turned 3 this past Monday. She adores Tinkerbell! I found this image at ECP. They have lots of free coloring pages of Tinkerbell....it was hard to decide which one to use, LOL!
Flutterby Wednesday has an open challenge this week so I'm entering it there.

A Christmas Penguin

I just bought this embossing folder and love it! It's from Sizzix and is part of a 5 pc set (this being the largest one).
I'm entering it into Charisma Cardz for their embossing challenge

Sending Christmas Love

black and white Christmas card

this card is for a challenge at Paperplay their challenge was to use black on the card. I've used mine to matt with. I used the snowflack embossing folder. The sentiment is from Sizzix.

hi ladies,My blog seems to have a mind of it's own, LOL! When I post pics I like to keep them to the right but they seem to post all over the place! Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone point me in the right direction to do something different.
hugs, Valerie

Our granddaughter Madison turned 3 today (Oct 17).....oh how fast the last 3 years have flown by, LOL! We met up with her mom and dad (Rachel & Mark) at Jungle Jacs with her brother Sebastian and foster sister Kassandra as well as Uncle Matt. We had a really great fun filled day with the kids playing on slides and having lunch, then enjoyed some yummy cupcakes. Took some cute pics too.
