Denami Designs Theme Challenge!!!

Hey guys, its me again :) Thank you to everyone for the super sweet birthday greetings btw! I have the bestest friends! You guys are awesome!!!

Speaking of awesome, I want to share with you one of my favorite challenges, if you are a regular around here you already know that I LOVE Denami Design challenges! I try to play every week because they are so fun! With that in mind, here is my card for this week! The theme is BIRTHDAY'S!!! P.S Special thank you's to my dear friend Maile who let me raid her scrap pile for goodies ;) That is where I got the frame from! 

OTWC Challenge #21!!!

Hello everyone! This has been a very exciting week for me but also hectic! Yesterday was my bd and my daughters is today so it will be filled with cake, sweets and presents followed by a couple days at Disneyland!! We take her each year, she even has her own brick there and I just love it since I am a huge Disney fan :) So, in honor of my little ones birthday, this weeks colors are bright and birthday inspired!

My design team member this week is also our winner!!! What a lucky girl she has been this week! She won a prize at Denami Designs too so congrats Tammy!

Here is Tammy's inspiration card for this week!

 I made it a rule when I first decided to start a team that the design team has the chance to win as long as they make more entries than their inspiration cards because most sponsors send only a prize for my winner or now and then something for me to design with. So, I want to be sure my DT still gets the chance at goodies!

Without further ado, Tammy Hobbs!!!

Aloha, my name is Tammy. I live in Hawaii with my husband and our rambunctious, lovable, little boy. I am taking a break from nursing and I’ve been paper crafting for a few years. Crafting has been the perfect creative outlet for me and I find it very therapeutic. . I am a lover of pretty things! J Being a Florida girl, I’m drawn to all things ‘beachy’. One of my favorite hobbies here in Hawaii is hunting for sea glass and surf tumbled pottery shards.


I am honored to be part of Kim’s Design Team and thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her.

Here are a few of her favorite cards!!!

As usual, the same rules apply! If you would like to enter you must become a follower of my blog, please post the inspiration photo with your entry and the link back here, and please make something with as close to the challenge theme or colors as possible, I want to see that you tried! If it is something that doesnt go with the theme, the post is old or the link takes me to something totally different it wont count and will be deleted! You are allowed up to three entries per person! Also, all of my challenges are chosen at random, it is far too hard for me to pick a winner so everyone has a fair chance!


Important info... I have had to add a rule about international shipping since it has been quite expensive for shipping, I will pay a portion of shipping if the winner is international but the remainder is the responsibility of the winner. I am sorry to have to do that but weekly challenges can get expensive!

Onto our lovely sponsor this week....

Simon Says Stamp has over 100,000 items in stock. They have all of the latest releases from Magnolia, Whiff of Joy, Tim Holtz, Spellbinders, Copic and so much more! With free shipping for all International orders over $175 and USA Orders over $70, it’s a great time to shop with Simon Says Stamp.

One lucky lady will win a $10 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp!

Wee Memories Challenge # 6!

Hey guys, this is my Wee Memories Challenge for the week :) Im sure most of you know by now the challenges I frequent, less than usual lately but you know my regulars and this is one of my favorites because she always has great inspiration!

Birthday fun!

Hey guys figured I would share a little of my husbands birthday with you. We love sushi so I made this for him from rice crispies, swedish fish and fruit roll-ups. Below is the cake I made him, not my best work, he kinda hates fondant so I decided to use buttercream frosting, but still fun :) Couldnt find real fighters in the right scale so I ended up with these knock offs! Oh well, still gives it the effect! 

Embellish Birthdays Color Challenge

Hey there! Here is my take on the inspiration for the

           Embellish Birthday Color Challenge

I made my own pattern paper using Photoshop CS3 and used Papertrey Ink Perfect Match cardstock in raspberry fizz and enchanted evening.
