birthday cards

Its Thursday, and I've been feeling a little sick so I decided to stay in bed and rest. I just watched the movie, "Eat Pray Live". I really enjoyed it. I really don't get a lot of alone time, so when I do I have to take it and run with it.

A couple of weeks ago I made some birthday cards for my hubby's co-workers. They turned out adorable so I wanted to share. TGF is having a challenge and I am going to enter with this card.

 

Recipe:

Paper: Kraft cardstock for the base and the sand part

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Cheeky Beach, My Creative Time - Wow! So Many Candles

I used Copics, twine, half back pearls from Recollection, and Spellbinders Nestabilities.

and the other one was more of a manly card (I think).

Recipe: 

Here I used kraft cardstock and for the front background I just got an image online. I also used black cardstock to mat all of the white papers.

Stamps: My Creative Time - Wow! So many candles

Twine and half perls from Recollections.

Teacher Appreciation

I made a banner for my son's kindergarten teacher for Teacher Appreciation and I thought I'd share! 

Also I decided to enter a challenge with it!

Let's Jam!....TGIF!

At first I was not too crazy about the way this card was coming along...so I added red! When in doubt...wear red! :) So, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I just love this guy with his guitar! Adorable! I wanted to color his hair black but since I am limited with my copic colors, I had to make with what I have. I tent to run to the store as soon as I find myself stuck. I want to think that I am giving up buying anything to do with scrappin for lent. So far I'm doing good, but then again lent just began on Wednesday... Anywho, here is my card. I am entering the Saturday Sketch challenge for the Greeting Farm - Club Anya...

Recipe:

Stamp: The Greeting Farm - Creepin Crew Tyler and the sentiment is from the same set.

Paper: Acually I had these scraps and I can't remember, I think DCWV... and some red AC Cardstock

Copics: hair 100, C01, C03 Skin: E000, E00, Eyes: E35 Shirt and shoes: R29

I paper pieced his shirt and pants.

Smile...

Happy Hump Day!!! So I admit, I am a little crazy for all of the Greeting Farm stamps right now... I want them all!!! :) Anyway, I created a card for the Mystery Monday Challenge. I used the very first stamp I purchased and this is also the very first image I colored with my copics (i'm sure you can tell. lol)

Birthday Creeper

Hello, hello! Wow, Thursday just flew by, can't even remember where my day went! Anyhow, I have been wanting to make a boy card and I had some papers I bought a little while ago and they were just calling my name. So I decided to join a Greeting Farm Challenge, Jen's Saturday Sketch #57. So, here it is:

Stamp is from The Greeting Farm, Sweet and Toxic

Papers are Ecko Park Little Boy and some AC Cardstock

I paper pieced his shirt and tie and colored the rest with Copic Markers.

 Hair: E50, E57, E59  Skin: E000, E00  Eyes: E35  Wings: BG10 

Jeans: B93, B95, B97  Tie: R29 Shoes: G14

Happy Wednesday!!!

I just finished this card for the BLDC6 (By Lori Designs). I used this cute Puddle Jumper Birthday Emma digi. I paper pieced her dress and colored the rest with copic makers. I also got to play a little with my new die cutting machine...the Wizard by Spellbinders. I am still not sure if I like it, I think I would enjoy the big shot better. We'll see...I got this one because I couldn't beat the price but if I have to I'll just re-sale it.

Shopping Miss Anya

I just love these stamps! I made this card from the same paper stack that I used previously. (DCWV-Cotto Bloom Stack) and I paper pieced her little blouse and shorts. I used that black ribbon and after messing with it, trying to fix it, I totally messed it up. Completely frayed and I wanted to take the card apart to change the ribbon but it would not come apart. Oh well I still like it. What a cutie!!! 

Tacky Tuesdays Challenge

This card I made for the Tacky Tuesdays Challenge. This was my first challenge and I was just having a little fun. I used my Cricut cartridge Create a Critter along with a little Peachy Keen Chick face (I think it was a penguin but I used it anyway because it was so darn cute!!!) The paper I used is from the DCWV Cotton Blossom Stack.

First Blog EVER!

This is my first blog. I just finished a card that I made for The Greeting Farm challenge FFF-Twirl into Spring. I am fairly new to card making and I love every part of it!!! I am excited to be able to share and hopefully inspire someone just like I've been inspired by so many talented women out in the srappin world!!!
