Verve's Get Your Diva On Challenge

This month's Get Your Diva On Challenge over at Verve is to incorporate a tag on your card or project OR make a set of tags. I chose to make a set of tags. I scored a fabulous deal on some Lost and Found goodies by My Mind's Eye at my LSS the other day and decided to sit down and play with those. I like how my little tags turned out and may even make some more! If you want to play along with the challenge, you have until Sunday the 14th to get your submissions in!

I am off to go camping with my cousins tomorrow on our annual Cousin's Camping Trip, and won't be back till late Sunday, so have a good weekend y'all! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday for my Nephew

Yesterday we celebrated my nephew's birthday. He will be 11 on the 11th. It's kind of a hard age for making cards... not too cutesy or too grown up... and I remembered about half an hour before I was supposed to leave for the party that I had forgotten to make him a card. Well, that would never do. They always expect a handmade card from Auntie Cresta! So, I found some October Afternoon paper lying on my desk from my last project and remembered that I had some super cute paper with animals on it somewhere!! After I found it, I went to the October Afternoon website for some inspiration because I was RUNNING OUT OF TIME and I found this cute card by Jill Cornell and voila! a birthday card was born!


I used October Afternoon's Campfire papers and stickers, and their Kraft Mini Market Stickers, and a rub-on by Daisy D's.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day!
