a card, a gift, a tag and a great child's card

First up, a fun CAS card for a friend who's heading to a wedding next week.  I've used the current Waltzingmouse Sketch and was excited to pull out the Big Blooms set.  I embossed the PTI Fillable Frames #4 for this week's PTI Make It Monday challenge.  I love how it just adds a subtle layer.  Great technique if I want to get back in one layer cards.  And since I'm still working on my coloring skills, I'll add this to Yvonne's Do More With Less "5 minute coloring" challenge.

Next up two little projects for the Moxie Fab World 350 Cards & Gift Challenge.  First up, the Gift Wrapped Challenge, I wrapped up a super special book for a friend's birthday.  Love how the PTI All Booked Up set works for gift wrapping.   The wine label is super simple and I probably shouldn't even bother to post it, but the bottle of wine has such sentimental value, and is a great shout out to my New Zealand friends. But since Cath is doing a random draw I'm going to enter it in the 350 Cards & Gifts Food Wrapped Challenge.

And I've saved the BEST for last... Mr. Ben (my 5 year old) is a card challenge junkie (just like his mother) and absolutely loves comments (hint hint).  He wanted to play along with the Simon Says Stamp Children's challenge.  He took a few pieces from my messy desk and created his own look.
