A New Chapter

So today is marking a new chapter. I'm going to "attempt" to enter the cards I make for different sketches, challenges etc. on a weekly basis. I always use the sketches and the color combos but I always forget to enter them, so I want to do this to share my creativity with others. When I first started all this crazy card making I used to surf all these sites and gather ideas to make cards. I haven't done this lately, I'm pretty much just down to using sketches with an exception here and there =)

So now for the card. I used the sketch from Eat, Sleep Stamp and the color combo from Inkspirations. This time I used a stamp image with my quote. I pretty much stayed with the sketch although looking at it now....it needs something, don't know what but definitely "something". I did stamp the image on the circle then I stamped it a separate time, cut it out and layered it on the bottom image to pop it out. It didn't give it the right look for me so I think that this just wasn't the right image to do it with.

This is pretty weird for me posting on a Saturday, let alone a Saturday afternoon. I did get in a 2 hour nap today so I'm betting on not sleeping tonight. Just makes more time for cards right?! Sleep is overrated....I think =) Hope your all having a fabulous weekend and I WILL be back tomorrow for another card!

LEGO cake & Another Sweet Birthday

As promised here is the picture of the LEGO cake.....much better than the cupcake/tree/gumdrop cake. This time it actually looks like a LEGO. The boy was happy too, he has the flu so there is a standstill on eating it, but he loved it and the card too!


Today is another birthday card for an amazing young lady. She turns 18 today and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She is full of spunk so I thought a little color would be perfect. I love this set but I haven't used it a lot. Have sets like that? Think your going to use them a lot and then don't? I love these colors though, so bright and fun....screams teenager!

Alright everyone have a Happy Hump Day.....C-ya!

Birthday Workshop

Now that I've had my Valentine's Class I'm moving on to another big day.....birthdays! Everyone has 'em and it's always cool to give a little something.

This class is $10 again and will include 2 cards and 3 treat holders. The blue holder in front I actually made myself, I templated it from a gift card holder and it holds 2 Ghiradelli chocolates. The red box is the 2-5-7-10 box on Splitcoast Stampers and then of course there's my favorite sour cream container.....I love this thing. I made 50 of them a few years back and it was so easy =)

Your Sweet Cupcake

So here's one of those cards that I had to play with until I liked it. I wanted to use the cupcake cardstock, that was a must. But trying to get the other colors and cardstock was a hassle. Long story short I think it ended up turning out cute. I love the glitter on the cupcake. You can't tell from the pic but the cupcake pattern is glittered as well.

Ingredients:

Paper: DCWV Sweet Glitter Stack

Stamp:$1 stamp from Michaels

Glitter: Martha Stewart

Ribbon: Target

Ink: Inkadinkado
