A CAS-ual Friday Stamps Sneak Peek and a Happy 18th Birthday to my Daughter

Happy Friday everyone!! Today it is my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog with a snowy Christmas card. Below is a sneak peek.


Hop on over to see the entire card and how I created it!! CAS-Fridays is also having a fun promotion that you won't want to miss.

All the information is on the blog!!

On another note, today my baby turns EIGHTEEN!! (below is one of our Christmas card photo rejects from Thanksgiving!!)


It seems like yesterday that she was this little tiny baby that we had no idea what to do with. I am so proud of the young woman she has become.

I created the card below especially for her and sent it out to her at the beginning of the week. I am TERRIBLE at sending cards out and she had to BEG me to make one for her.


The puppy is from Avery Elle and I attempted to color him in like my dog, Zack. Not great but he is cute.


The hat is from Hello Bluebird, the Happy from Simon Says Stamp and the birthday sentiment is from My Favorite Things. The whole card was basically a mish mash of things that I had colored in at a previous date and then added some sparkle and shine to for a little more oomph.


Happy Birthday to you, Charlotte. You are by far the BEST THING that has ever happened to me!!

I thank you all for stopping by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

Your love and pride are shining through your post, Nora, and rightly so! Charlotte is a beautiful girl and it looks like that beauty shines from within as well! But, my friend, how can you be a card artist and not LOVE to send out cards?! Think of all the folks who would be thrilled to get one of your stunning cards! (Including your own daughter, lol!) This card is just what it claims to be: HAPPY!!! It's perfect for this milestone birthday and Charlotte will treasure it always!! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell

Isn't it amazing how all of the sudden our little babies are all grown up! My boys are now towering over me and I am quite tall so not used to that at all, lol! The birthday card you made for Charlotte is super adorable and am sure she loves it!
