Celebrating early!!

Back a few months ago, when Jenn was counting up the challenges to get sponsors and information lined up, she had a very foggy post-pregnancy brain. She counted up what she thought would have been the 100th post and it landed on today. She, along with Trish-who was also recovering from a post-pregnancy brain, planned a big online party for the challenge blog. However, it was noticed that it is not quite the 100th post, but the 97th post. But, hey!!! We like to do things different around here and we're going to celebrate anyways! 

Each DT member has graciously offered up some blog candy in celebration of our big milestone and if you follow along the blog hop and the instructions you may earn some extra goodies this week. There will be a prize offered here like normal and an extra random prize for a commenter under this blog. WOW! Lots of fun stuff. 

We want to thank all of you for being a huge part of this blog and for showing your support weekly. Our awesome DT members are busy, but they are faithful in sharing their creations with all you card crafters. We love that you stop by and share yours, as well!! 

So, without further ado...

HAPPY 97th BLOG POST!!! 


I created this card for my daughter, who turned SIX years old yesterday!! I can't believe how fast she's growing. :) 



I used Saturated Canary's Ava as my main image. (You can see her as a blond HERE.) I colored her up with my Prismacolor pencils and used my Nestabilities Circle dies to cut her out and give her a mat. The paper I am using is left over from an old Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card kit. My card base is Neenah Desert Storm. 

I didn't put anything on the inside because my oldest and youngest wanted to do the decorating. :) 

 Happy Birthday, P! We love you.

I will put together a little goodie package for a lucky participant of our blog hop! Good luck and thank you so much for your support. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
