Birthday Cards

 These two cards were made for a challenge group that I am in on SCS.  They send you the image and then you do what you want with that image. 
Both of these cards are by Art Impressions.  They have such great personality.  This one above is my yoga girls.  I used Rose Red by Stampin Up cardstock for the base and the designer paper is by Echo Park Hello Summer.  I just love the colors in that set.
This card I call my dancing divas.  I even added a little glitter to the tutus.  I used the same paper to make this card.  These are going to make the perfect birthday cards.

I hope to have more to publish this week.  Busy busy behind the scenes.

Happy Birthday Michelle

It sure seems like there are alot of birthdays right now.  I have been busy making birthday cards.  Thank goodness for Dearie Dolls Digital Stamps.  If you are in to digitals, this is the place to go.  It still amazes me that she offers these digital stamps for free.  I made this card for a challenge on SCS.  They supplied the sketch and this is what I came up with.  Isn't she adorable?

Happy Birthday Patty

Well, where does the time go.  I have been quite busy behind the scenes.  I have been making alot of birthday cards and getting them in the mail as soon as they are completed.  I took a picture of Patty's birthday card and finally getting around to posting a picture of it.  I found this image at Dearie Dolls and decided it would be perfect for a card for Patty.  The fence, bird and bird house are all from Papertrey Ink. 

I hope Patty had a great birthday and didn't mind that it was a day late.

Thinking Christmas



Today I am posting pictures of 2 Christmas cards I made for a swap at SCS.  The theme was Santa so each of my cards has Santa in them.  This first card is a cute little Santa image from Papertrey Ink.  The stamp set is called Tiny Treats Christmas. All of the images so it was easy for find a Santa in this set.  The paper is Snow Festival from Stampin Up.

This card was from a set I bought at a garage sale at our local scrapbooking store.  This set was called Holiday Expressions and there are so many cute images on that set.  You can't really tell in the picture but I used a glitter pen for his beard and around the trim on his coat.  

So this is a start to my Christmas cards.  I have one more to post this week that I am working on.  Now it off to work on birthday cards.

Twisted Tuesday Challenge



Today's challenge over at Twisted Tuesday is to make a creation with a man in mind.  The twist is to use your tools.  This card was designed by my dear friend Vannessa.  We made these at a crop and I thought it was the perfect card for my dad.  My favorite part of the card was to use the silver paper and emboss it to make it look like tire tread. 


Even the inside of the card is stamped with nails and screws.  I think this makes the best man card.

Happy Birthday Brandon

My sweet nephew Brandon is 8 years old today so I had to make a birthday card for him.  He has a yellow dog named Remmi so I had to put a dog in his card.  I just love this image from Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps.   She just has the cutest images over there and they are all free.  If you haven't been to her site, please go and check it out.  She has an image for every occasion.

So Happy 8th Birthday to Brandon.
