Oldie But Goodie LOVE

So with yesterday being Valentine's Day, and the fact that I'm SO far behind posting projects, I thought I'd share another LOVE day project - 

Livy's Sweetest Day Card :)

This is a great little Oldie from Bugaboo Stamps and is perfect for those Love notes to those you love in your life.

I didn't use the sentiment that came with the image as it was a valentine sentiment, but included one of my own.

Oldie But Good Day @ The Bug Blog

Happy Thursday!  Whew, so glad it's almost the weekend!!!  :)

Today is an Oldie But Goodie Day @ The Bug Blog.

Today I thought I'd share one of my go to images - this Tall Birthday Cake.

This card was for Livy's Half Birthday (back in March....Yup, a bit behind!)

Of course, we added this to her special note box.  She loved her 'cupcake' which was actually a frosted Lofthouse cookie - which is you know what I'm talking about is YUMMY and could be mistaken for a cupcake with the amount of Frosting that it has!  :)

Happy Thursday!  We're THAT much closer to Friday!  WOO HOO!!

Today is an Oldie But Goodie Thursday at The Bug Blog and I have a simple Thinking of You card to share with you.

All of our flowers are blooming right now and Olivia LOVES to water them (and herself - what 2 1/2 year old doesn't love soaking herself in water), so Flowers it is!

Below is a little Thinking of You card I created using the Sunflower Vase.  I'm HOPING to find a gorgeous Sunflower field for Livy's summer pictures this year.

This week, I thought I'd share with you Olivia's Second Birthday Invitation (and a few B-day Decor photos too).  She turned two earlier this week - WOW, how the time has flown.  Glen and I can't believe she's two already.

Papers - All Digital Images I found for free online.

This is her cake - Isn't it adorable?!

We took pictures with our guests in front of her Happy Birthday sign & "Barn Doors".

Complete with Cowgirl & Cowboy Hats and Bandanas.

Tables included Red Table Cloths, Burlap and Sunflower Center pieces, complete with Farm Animals and the Number "2" (cut with my cricut...had to dust that off!  Whew!)

Our Entry way, complete with a Thank You, Sunflowers and Livy's "This Ain't my first Rodeo" sign 

Close up of the Sign we made (cricut got a REAL workout for this birthday!)

Sunflowers & Red/White Check Mason Jars 

So, that's a snapshot of last weekend at our house!  What a celebration we had!
