13th Birthday Card

I am still in shock that I am officially a parent of a teenager.  She is my one of my greatest joys even when she is telling me "Come on Mom, go away!!!!"  She has always been a creative soul so she appreciates my projects so I decided to make her this card.

I have been subscribing to the Kit & Clowder Art Classes so this month's class was just perfect for using for her card.  I have also had this digital stamp from SOG in my stash for awhile so thought it would be good to finally color it up. I have another one I am working on for a dear friend of mine 40th so hope to show that one soon.

I will also be entering this one into the following challenges as well:

Another Holiday Card

So I used some of my now retired stamp company. These images are still some of my favorites so I just could not part with them. I decided to do a more neutral card so that I can give it out to anyone I need to during the holidays.

The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamp set I have. Love these great little sentiments and the stamp set is from a border die I have. I again colored it with my Copics and then mounted it on a kraft card.
