Paper Smooches: March challenge #6

Hello, friends:}


I'm joining in the fun with the Paper Smooches March "BIRTHDAY" challenge  The challenge ends TUESDAY, March 29th!!!!! Picture: Credit 

I've made several cards and have featured them over on the PS blog but not here! So I thought I would share a couple with you today. 

These two cards are the exact same design with different washi tape/colors. I love how simple they are! I used the Paper Smooches Ice Cream Cone die along with the PS Bosom Buddy and Ghoulfriends stamp sets. 

Here are a couple more cards that were featured on the PS blog earlier this month----> all for the March challenge:) 

This is Levi's birthday card (he shares a birthday with Trav)--- he's actually staying at our house right now while his parents are on vacation! Olsen does NOT know about this situation! LOL ❤️

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along! 

THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:} 

Virtual Smooches: Sav Challenges #3 + Tips

Hello, friends:}

Today is my day to share a video over on the  Paper Smooches video blog- Virtual Smooches! **Note: Thursdays and/or Fridays are my NEW days to post on the VS blog:) 

I'm sharing a start-to-finish video today. I created 2 cards for our new neighbors, and these cards are PERFECT for my Sav Challenges! 

I also share some random tips--- some old and some new. Either way, I thought I would share these tips because they help me when I'm crafting :) 

I also get a bit distracted in the video due to Olsen- he is scared of thunderstorms and of course while I'm recording a huge storm hit right above us! LOL! Poor guy! 

Not sure you can tell--- but it was POURING down rain! 

You can see why I got distracted- Olsen always hides under my desk when it's raining. 

Here's a sneak peek of my video:
