Courtney's Birthday card

Hi scrappin' pals,
Here is another Birthday card I made for a different niece.  This one is turning 14.  I can't believe it! Time really flies.  She is really into dance and music. So this is what I came up with for her.  I hope she likes it.

Since I don't have any dance carts that would really fit her style I used Gypsy Wanderings cart for the music note.  I embossed the music scale on the green paper with clear embossing powder. The scale is a rolling stamp from Stampin' Up, and I used Stampin' Up ink for the distressing.  I hand wrote the sentiment.  The ribbon is from Mrs. Grossmans.  The paper is from everywhere. 
Let me know what you think.

MPS 8th Day of Christmas-Color Challenge

Good Morning everyone. 

I don't know how the weather is where you are at but here it has rained for 5 days straight now!  We never get this much water, we live in a desert.  But we are all grateful for it, we really needed it.  I hope things are all going well for everyone. 

I love the holidays, we are busy here making a bunch of treats for our friends and neighbors and my girls love to help out.   Well, in all the bustling around that I did yesterday I still had time to put together this quick card for the challenge over on My Pink Stamper. It is for the 8th day of Christmas and it was a color challenge, make something using blue, green and brown.  When I think of those colors I think of a little boy. So I made a card that you could use for a birthday or just about any celebration. 

I cut the frog from the PDDU cart at 3" on real dial size.  The blue paper is heat embossed using the "On the Spot" stamp from Stampin' Up and some clear embossing powder.  The ribbon is from Mrs. grossman's. The "hoppy for you" stamp was also from Stampin' Up.  I liked the cute little frog, it looks like he is jumping for joy.  Hope you like it.
