almost forgot

Here's the card Brent gave Carol. I just threw a little ink on the cardstock for him. ;)

It's another Zindorf knockoff. My first attempt at one of here tutorials but wanted to wait to upload it so Carol wouldn't see it early. I should mention though that I've been using sponges instead of the brayer because I mainly have stampin' spots, not all the big ink pads.

I also made the inside all "fancy". I really like that look but have to admit I don't always put forth the effort.

Hoping to get some scrappin' done today after we go see How to Train Your Dragon. You know, so we're prepared for when we decide to adopt a dragon.

Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday dear Carol

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Hope you have a fabulous birthday chickie!! Let me know what you got for your birthday present. ;)

This card is another Zindorf knockoff and again, I think I did good.

Sponged the different colors and stamped the grass from Inspired by Nature in black. I don't have the two step bird punch (yet) so stamped the bird from Always with versamark on black cs and cut it out. I place the bird to make it look like he's sitting on the bent blade of grass.

Enjoy it Carol!

A share

Got 2 cards made, but only because I HAD to. Anyone want my kids for a few days?? With summer coming I know I'll have even less time in here and that is depressing.

Anyway, this first card was for a workshop I had last week. Used Rich Razzleberry as it has been an extremely popular color. Maybe if I had girls I'd like it too. Used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and matching wheel. I also had to use the Beautiful wings embosslit to make the butterfly. (love that die) The girls enjoyed making it.

This other card is for my mother in law, today is her birthday. I used So Saffron, Dusty Durango and Old Olive. I totally CASEd this card from SCS as I didn't have time to think one up on my own. For the splatter effect I used an old toothbrush with reinker/water mixed together. The air spritzer will be on my next order!

Hope you enjoyed my cards.
