As I mentioned in earlier post, I am going to be part of a giveaway this week! I am so excited about it! My friend Jen is going to be hosting the giveaway, so you'll need to visit her site, (http://thriftynorthwestmom.blogspot.com/) starting tomorrow to be able to enter. I am going to be giving away a custom card design!

There will be 3 card choices. (Though I have so many more available...I thought it would be easiest on us both if we narrowed it down to three.) Each card will have lots of different options, so we can make it perfectly personalized for you!

Here are a few cards that I have been working on lately....

~A Giveaway~

A Sweet Moment

The other day my oldest daughter was having a hard afternoon. After listening to about an hour of off and on, whining and fussing, I had had enough. (Mean mom!) So I sent her outside to talk to daddy. A few minutes later I look out the window to see this....

it totally melted my heart. I have an awesome husband who is a great daddy to his girls!

I used an action from Coffee Shop Actions. They have some great free actions for Photoshop and PSE. The one I used here is Creamy Toffee Latte. It just gives the picture a sweet soft look.

A Freebie

First off...happy birthday to an old (ha ha) high school friend! She is celebrating all week long by giving things away on her blog. She is a VERY crafty and talented person, so go check it out. Just leave a comment to enter!
