My Sailor & JSL Final Week: Spring Challenge

Good morning! Here is a picture of me and my new Sailor from yesterday... don't mind the tears of pride on my face.  :)


Yes, he's that tall.  hee hee  What an amazing day - the poor kid had been awake for 30 hours at this point.  He had to go take care of some paperwork, so we picked him up a few hours later and took him out for a steak dinner before bringing him back for a well-deserved good night's sleep.  We get to spend today and tomorrow with him, as he's on "liberty" for the weekend.  Then I have to leave him and head home Monday - I know I'll be crying, but it's just for me.  He's doing awesome and loving all of this, so I'm thrilled for him.  I'm just gonna miss him so much.
........................................................
We're on our last week of our current monthly challenge at:



Check it out and join us for a chance to win 4 images of choice from the JSL shop.  Peace.

Happy Birthday Cass & Crafty Calendar

Today my gorgeous, funny, sweet, amazing daughter Cass turns 19.  My "baby" - I can hardly believe how quickly the years have flown by.  She came into this world screaming like a banshee, full of life and ready to take on the world.  She's been a shining light in my world since that very day - my little mini-me.

I'd like to enter her birthday card into the following challenges:


 For Cassidy's birthday card, I used this sweet elephant stamp from Lili of the Valley - Cass wants a tattoo of a baby elephant behind a mama elephant, so I made her this card and got her the sweet elephant Alex & Ani bracelet for her birthday.  Anyway, I stamped the image on DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Stickles.  Papers are from My Mind's Eye.  "Happy Birthday" is from My Favorite Things.

My next card is for the following challenges:

This cute dragon image is from Bugaboo Stamps (I used lime green/player's choice of Bugaboo image/recycled item of ribbon tag).  I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and lots of glitter.  Ladybugs & bumblebee brad are from my stash - papers are from MME.  Peace.
