I have a stash of buttons so this sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch was easy to pull off!!!  And since I had a baby shower yesterday, a baby card was needed!!  Buttons and baby just seem to go together!!

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts empty...our empty nest--I know some couples struggle with an empty nest but my hubby and I are enjoying being just the two of us!!  Don't misinterpret--I miss my kids and always look forward to their visits!!  Credit Card balance--empty!! One of the best feelings, not carrying a balance!!  Dirty clothes hamper--starting off the weekend with it being empty is a gift!!!

Sailing Home//Color Challenge//Summer

SUMMER was the theme challenge for Paper Players...the colors from the Color Throwdown challenge fit perfect for a summer theme (Navy, Coral, Teal and Cream).  So...I am using both challenges for today's card.  Once a gain Stampin Up's new Sailing Home stamp set and matching dies was perfect for today's creation.

This awesome stamp set and matching dies....Sailing Home....is now available from Stampin Up's new catalog!!  Living in Florida made this new set a must have for me!  Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch.
