Happy Happy Birthday, Elena K!!!

Today is a special day! Why, you ask? Because it is the birthday of one very fun, funky, and fabulous mama- our very own ElenaK! For those of you who don't know, Elena is Mrs. KennyK and our muse, our friend, and our fearless leader! In honor of Elena's birthday the Krew thought it would be nice to surprise MsK with a blog hop to celebrate! Each of the ladies has crafted a special birthday greeting for Elena. Won't you hop along with us?

Visit each Krew members blog and leave a comment! Then go back to Kenny's Krafty Krew Blog and leave some birthday wishes for Elena! One lucky participant who has visited every blog will be selected for a special prize from our DT Coordinator, Regan!

Here's the card that I created just for Elena using Cutie Pie. The sentiments are from The Stamps of Life and I made the roses.

Happy Birthday, Elena! Thank you for all you do to make this team shine! {HUGS}

#180 at Kenny K's

Good Morning. Today begins a new challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Krew. I hosted my first challenge on the blog today and let me tell you, I was nervous. But, I made it with Tammy's help.

Our theme for this challenge is always "Anything Goes and the twist is "BIRTHDAY" and it's a great twist as our wonderful designer, Kenny, celebrated his birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Kenny!

The winner will receive three images from the store, five if you include the twist. Each of the Top 3 will receive one image of their choice.

I love this image. She is just so sassy with her ripped jeans and hoodie. With her leg bent like it is, I just had to have her standing against a wall. The background brick wall is from Bo Bunny. I wrote the greeting to mimic graffiti. The name of this image is "Trouble Maker" and can be found here in the shop.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope y'all have a wonderful Monday. God bless.

Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #12

Hello friends. Today begins the new challenge over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We had a great turn out for the last challenge. Thanks for playing along.

This challenge runs for two weeks and our theme is "Things with Wings."

We have some great sponsors for this challenge:

I was able to use a new stamp company for this challenge. I had a hard time picking an image too. Here's what I made using Aurora Wings.

I wasn't real sure what to do with this image after I chose it. I stared at it for three days before I finally came up with an idea. I love the little owls, but for some reason my creative mojo just wasn't mojoing for me. Finally, thinking about the whole see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil thing it dawned on me that birthdays sometimes make you feel that way, hence the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope y'all will join us for this great challenge. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless y'all.
