Birthday Girl

Hi again!

Today I made a card for the Ways To Use It challenge over at Splitcoast. We were to use at least two old challenges on our creation. I used an old birthday challenge and an old challenge where you had to use grey. I also used this NEW and very cute digital image by D' Amour Allure. This is the first image by a new illustrator. It is available at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. Each Thursday you will find another new image. Be sure and check it out. Don't forget to "like" M5D on facebook!

Hi there! Happy TGIF!

Today I made a card for the Free For All Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. We had to have two or more hearts on our card. I used a new set by Studio 313 called You Stole My Heart. It was just perfect for the challenge because there are two hearts in this set! Love it when that happens! I also used some red heart ribbon by May Arts.

This digital darling can be found at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. I added some dazzling diamonds to the bubbles for some added sparkle.
