Happy Birthday!

Happy Saturday!

Well!

Let me say that so far, this year, 2016, is 

speeding up.

Annndddd...

I haven't kept up with some of my resolutions...

one meaning my blog.

dang!

But, I am not giving up!

lol.

This week's challenge over on

the Hiding In My Craft Room blog, 

is:

 HIMCR #234 - Embossing!

It can be dry embossing, 

or heat embossing.

And this week's sponsor is

the ever awesome Sami Stamps!

The giveaway is a $12 Gift Certificate to Sami Stamps!

awesome sauce, right??

The Design Team were given

the opportunity to pick an image

from Sami Stamps. 

I chose this adorable giraffe, with

the idea to make a birthday card

for my daughter's upcoming 6th

birthday!

          Here is my card:

I personally love this type challenge, 

aw geez---I love them all! lol

Perfect example to pull out my trusty

Cuttlebug and folders!

I used a WRMK folder (circle)

that I picked up at Winners near Christmas

for 3$$!! score!

(love a good deal!)

Papers are from my stash...

not sure which brand, sorry! eek!

The cute giraffe is colored with

Distress inks, and my trusty brush.

The embossed balloon stickers are 

from EK Success (at the dollar store!!)

There you are, folks!

Be sure to check out the other gals, 

to see their lovely creations!

You have until next Friday night to 

link up!

Cannot wait to see what you all can do!

Be safe. Get crafty!
