Sparkle and Shine Challenge #29

Morning everyone!!

Last weekend I was at my home away from home....Memories Manor in Michigan so I had some extra time to create a layout for the latest challenge at Sparkle and Shine Challenge..

For this challenge we are sponsored by the amazing Create A Smile Stamps! The winner of our challenge will receive a $25 gift card to the online store and will be asked to be our Guest Designer for next month.  Very cool...right?

Here is our photo inspiration for today.

I was inspired by the beautiful flowers so made sure that flowers made an appearance onto my layout. Not a problem at all...lol! 

The Happy Place collection by Fancy Pants was perfect for this challenge.

For Christmas my youngest son bought my Mom a huge bag of Smarties and I captured this photo of her hanging onto them so nobody else could grab them!! Too funny!

Sparkle and Shine Challenge # 26

Hello everyone! It's time for another challenge at Sparkle and Shine.  The photo inspiration today is this cute Easter themed wreath.

We are sponsored this week by Create a Smile.

Valentine's Day

It's a very special Valentine's Day this year because it is my Grandson Luca's first time to celebrate it since he is just turning 7 months old.

I just had to make him a card of course and decided to play along with the challenge at Pretty Pink Posh while I was at it.
I used the card that Liz created as my inspiration.

The Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 die was used as the tag focal point along with Pink Blush, Pink Peonie and Sparkling Clear PPP sequins.

I am also entering my card in the Paper Issues Take 5 challenge.
