Happy Birthday and a Winner! {And a Giveaway!}

Hello on this very chilly Saturday! We have had a whirlwind week here in our household with last minute details for Christmas, cookie and candy making, a blizzard, a surprise birthday party for my brother and an extended family Christmas party. Here are a few pictures from this week, though you may have already seen them if you are a follower on Instagram.

 We ended up with about 10 inches of snow!

The girls had a blast playing outside.

And this is my grumpy ol' gnome of a brother at his party. He can fake grumpy pretty well can't he?

I will share my adventure in baking and making pictures with you tomorrow. It will prove to be a pretty yummy post! ;)

Next, it is a brand new challenge over on the 365 Cards challenge blog today. The prompt is Boy oh Boy: create a birthday card for a teenage boy.

And here is what I came up with:


Pretty simple and clean, but I think that fits pretty well with the theme! {Or at least with my nephews it would.}

I used some ribbon I have in my stash, along with buttons from My Mind's Eye and the 
Great Big Greetings stamp set from Market Street Stamps.

Now, to the latest winner from the Spirit of Giving giveaway.

The winner of this:


fine prize pack is

Denise Bryant!!

    I love the boy card you made...simply but elegant. I think I may have to card lift that idea.

    Wow, we just got hit by about a foot of snow and it is still coming a little here and there. Your card is beautiful. I SO need to work on my CAS card style because I really love the way it can look. You have such a sweet and generous heart. There are a few of these sets I've been wanting for a while so thank you so much for a chance to win them. Also thank you for the package I received. I'm hoping life will calm down a little so I have a chance to play with them. Thanks for being SO sweet and creative! Hugs- Glora
