Oh, Crafty Day!

Finally I was able to get to craft! FINALLY! This "vacation" from work and school has been more busy than regular weeks! Sheesh! Had a fantastic Christmas and Noah's birthday went off without a hitch...not withstanding the small snowstorm we received that day!

I was able to crank out 2 cards for 3 challenges today. The first  card is for Cupcake Craft Challenges as well as Cute Card Thursday. The theme for both this time around was "Thank You". I used 2 images from "The Digi Shack" as freebies some time back. After many dreary days here in TN I am ready for some spring colors. So, I made this as cheerful as I could.
This second card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I used the freebie from the Greeting Farm for the new year. I love it! Wanted a classy, shimmery card so I used a gold gel pen, and lots of rhinestones. I also broke out my brand new black stickles, given to me from my wonderful friend heather. I couldn't wait for the stickles to dry because of the sun going down, but now that they are drying the card is SO shimmery!! 
Hope you all enjoy! Hope to be back with more soon! Stay crafty!

Love the pretty spring colors and the cb paper of the first card. Love the black stickles, I have some but haven't used them yet. It's my father-in-laws birthday on Sunday and I don't have any manly cards on reserve, so I'm gonna have to find some time to craft this weekend. I need to re-organize my craft room first, a task I am not looking forward to.
