Mother card

When I saw the challenge this week at Less is More was STARS.....I knew right away which stamp I wanted to use. Twinkle twinkle little star from My Sentiments Exactly. One of my co workers just had a baby boy and the shower is coming up so I needed to make a baby card. Last month when I was in the mall shopping, I somehow got in line for a scrap booking rummage sale in the hall....that I knew nothing about until that moment. Lucky me! I made away with alot of fun stamps...CHEAP! This was one…

A dear friend had foot surgery this week. The idea came to me to use the Christmas stocking punch, wrapped in ribbon to look like bandages for him. What do you think? I think he'll laugh when he sees this. It doesn't get more customized than this. Thanks for looking.

I am having so much fun with all the new Simon Says Stamp Picture Book animal dies!! They are so cute, and so much fun!! I used my Picture Book Giraffe die to make a baby card... I die cut the giraffe in 3 different cardstocks...brown/kraft/tan...diecutting each twice for layering.

I've been totally swamped with a new job and getting my life in a semblance of order around that. But I still had some time to make some new cards! I got a huge shipment of new stamps, so I just HAD to play with them, and here's some of the results. This first one was from a set of doggie stamps. My mom is always looking for dog themed cards, so I'll probably make her a set like this. This one is just a mini-card that can't be mailed on it's own, but they make a great insert to a bouquet of…

OK not the most exciting plans ever, but I want to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather. Today at The Paper Players Anne Marie is hostess, and she has an awesome sketch challenge for us. I knew right away what I wanted to do with it. I'm playing with yet more new toys today. I've been on a bit…
