My Only Sunshine

I loved singing that song to my kids when they were little.  I'd rock them to sleep and sing You are My Sunshine over and over again.  Then one day my aunt taught me the second verse ("The other night dear, while I was sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms.  But when I woke up I was mistaken so I hung my head and cried")  When I sang that verse to them they suddenly made me stop singing it and didn't like that song anymore- still don't.  Too sad I guess. 

Anyway, I still like that saying "You are my sunshine" and had to use it on this card.  This is for today's Diva sketch which I really like!  I kept it pretty literal other than the banner style sentiment which I just hand cut.  Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by.  Now why don't you go check out the other Diva's samples then play along with us!

Slightly Vintage Birthday

I don't know about you but this new Soiree DSP (designer series paper) really caught my eye in the new SU Catalog! I just think the colors are perfectly paired, whimsical but not cutesy patterns that are totally my style! And how they coordinate with so many products is just awesome in my opinion! See the new Antique Brad?? They are so neat! There are 5 different styles and I must admit that I like them all! Did you notice my bit of Chantilly Lace ribbon on there? I wanted some but knew it would be too much wrapped around the whole card. Actually, not too much but it would've hidden too much of the gorgeous papers.

There's my new favorite stamp set again (Aviary) with the bird cages- I think you might be seeing a lot of these images from me. Also in use here are the French Filigree background stamp (in Versamark) and another new stamp set that I think will be very versatile: Fabulous Phrases.

OK, that's all the chatter. Back to stamping! Have a great day!

ETA: I just realized I didn't mention the sketch challenge I used for this layout... and I totally forgot to link my card to their blog too. Bummer! Anyway, it is the SSC160 sketch on Stampin' 411. I enjoy their challenges because they are SUO- only Stampin' Up! products for the samples.
