Sunshine Smiles

Hello everyone!!  Happy, Happy Friday to you!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with one of the new Craftin Desert Divas' stamp sets "Summer Lovin'".  And let me tell you, I am really LOVIN' these stamps!!!

Here is my card:

And here is a closer look at the adorable sentiment:

What do you think of that font??

I totally LOVE it!!

The base of the card is from a file I found at the Silhouette online store.  I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug Modern Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The sun is also an image from the Silhouette online store. Those adorable faces are from several different Peachy Keen Face Asst. sets.

And check out the rest of the stamp set:

You can see the other awesome stamp sets at the Craftin' Desert Divas Shop here.

So that's it for today!
I hope you liked my card.  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

For the birthday girl - CDD Linky Party

Today is my design team post for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is Birthday Party.

Here is the project I created for the Linky Party:

I recycled a bag I received from this store called Funky Junk.  It was a fun store with a lot of unique things in it.  
I used a couple birthday stamps from the Unity Stamp Co. for my sentiment.  It has a "girl" and "boy" circle sentiment to go with the "For the Birthday".  Love them!!
The background is paper from a Coordinations Paper Stack that is embossed with a lighter color paper underneath so when you sand it, it shows the design.  It's kind of fun to use!!
The adorable little girl is a file from Scrapping Bug Designs: A Pinch to Grow and Inch.  The papers are from a random stack of patterned paper I have in my stash. 
And I HAD to stamp her face with a Peachy Keen face from the In My Garden Face Asst. set. (A must have!!)
And that will about do it!
