Sunday Sketch and Stamp and a Birthday Card

Hi All!!

Happy Monday!  I have two cards for you today.  The first is my Sunday Sketch and Stamp Card a day late. We had a crazy weekend and stamping was on hold for a bit, but back on schedule now!

So this sketch was created by Ger, cute huh?  On sponsor is my Favorite Things, who generously donated a few cute images for us to play with.  I chose these holiday owls.  I used some My Mind's Eye papers along with pink pirouette and espresso card stock.  I used my MS snowflake border, snowflake and holly leaf punches on this one.  Along with my 3 SU oval punches.  I also embossed the pink circle with my CB snowflakes folder.    Finally I added some ribbon, flowers and lots of stickles!  The sentiment is from SU.
Challenges....
Sweet Stampin...stitching
Allsorts...at least 3 punches

Now for the birthday card....
My niece turned two this weekend, part of why we were so busy, and had her turtle party yesterday!  This is the card I created for her.  This absolutely adorable turtle is from MelJen Designs and available at Whimsy stamps.  **Which is up and running after some server trouble last week.  SO head on over and see what's new!**  The sentiment is from Whimsy as well.  The papers are basic grey.  I stitched the edges, added some flowers and a fun polka dot ribbon along with stickles to finish up this card.  I also used my pinking hearts border pinch from SU and my MS branch punch. 
Challenges....
MelJen Challenge...1 ribbon, 2 flowers, 3 brads
