More Baking with Tena

Hi everyone! Did you all have a good Monday? Are you busy making last minute appreciation gifts for the teachers? :) Well, one of the staffers at the school (whom my class has adopted) is celebrating her birthday on Wednesday and I thought Tena from Bakery Business would be perfect in helping me wish her a happy birthday! I think I should actually bake something to go with this though, right? Hmmm...that would probably be a perfect time to try out Taylor's Mouthwatering Monster Cookies recipe!!

I stamped the sentiment "Bakin' up a batch of birthday wishes!" inside my card. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed coloring Tena in with my Copics...just love this set and all the sentiments!! IDEAL for coloring...and lots of it! I stamped Tena on Choice Snow White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento. Patterned paper is from the Valentine kit from Martha Stewart. Easy peasy and, now that I look at it...kind of Clean and Simple! I also did a smidge of airbrushing around her, but I think it's hard to see in the photo.

So...remember that Love banner I made here? Well there was a challenge on a new-to-me challenge site called Just Us Girls ...or JUGS and I submitted my banner.... and WON!! I was selected Chic of the Week and I'm just thrilled about it! I'm adding my achievement to my sidebar now! :)

Ok..next task...Valentine's cards for the kindergartner's for Friday. My little baby boy is also celebrating his birthday this coming Saturday...I can't believe he will be 6!! We have a not-so surprise for him and I CAN'T WAIT to show you what we're getting....any guesses??? :)
