Through the Purple Haze Challenge #27--Love is in the Air

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you're all snug and warm inside.  We got about three inches of snow last night, so we're out of school for a SNOW DAY today!!!

Our newest challenge at Through the Purple Haze is Love is in the Air and is sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs, who will be awarding the winner of this challenge four digis!

They so graciously provided the DT with images, so I chose the French Maid image and created a happy birthday card:

I thought my card needed a French sentiment since she was a French maid!

It's a Boy (Card)!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Monday!  I'd planned to be crafty just about all day today, but I ended up having to do some things around the house first.  As a result, I didn't get to my craft desk until almost two o'clock. :-p  The main thing I wanted to get done today was to make a card to go along with our neighbor's baby gift.  After doing some blog searching for a good sketch, I found this one at Cupcake Craft Challenges:

I decided it was PERFECT for what I had in my stash, so this is the card I came up with:

I also added a piece of patterned paper and another sentiment on the inside to give the card a more polished look.  The crawling baby is a Cricut I received from my friend Suzanne (Thanks, Suz!) in a Cricut cut swap in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin', and I adhered it with pop dots to add a little dimension to the card.  The ribbon, buttons, sentiment sticker, and patterned paper are all from my stash.  I'm entering the card in these challenges:
