Sweet Birthday

I really like this sketch from Mojo Monday #291:

 I think I'll try it again when I have a little more time!  I also had this in mind for CASual Fridays Bingo Challenge...

The paper is from Stampin'Up, the stamps are from Skipping Stones Design.  Thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave me a 'Hi'!

Steampunk Money Card

I knew I wanted to make a Steampunk card for my youngest son for his birthday, but I thought I was going to use the Steampunk Owl from Stampendous...then I decided I needed the format to be landscape for the money opening, and the owl was too tall...so I ended up using Stampendous  F.E. Linus again...such a great image!

Just Make Your Own-Lucky Stars

The current challenge over at A Blog Named Hero is to make your own embellishment:

I layered a couple of stars cut with my Cricut and added a sentiment from Hero Arts-Year Round Sentiments.

Love is in the air -

Love is in the air at Stampendous February Challenge.  I made this card for my son and daughter-in-law, who got married in St. Thomas last year and have an anniversary coming up...she really liked this great Jumbo Tulip stamp so I figured it would be perfect.  I stamped the image in Versamark and used white embossing powder then sponged inside the lines.  The sweet sentiment is also from Stampendous.

A Vintage Hero Challenge

Trying to get a couple of cards made for some fun challenges before the end of February...this month sure went by fast!

This card is for two challenges:
A Blog Named Hero #20  - 'If I could turn back time' to create a shabby chic or vintage style card...the vintage bicycle and the sentiment are both from Hero Arts...papers are from 7 Gypsies.

The second is for a sketch challenge over at:
Lucy's Cards Sketch Challenge Day 4

Complete recovery - PDCC167

I needed a 'Get Well' card for a good friend at work and thought I'd try to combine it with the color challenge over at The Play Date Cafe:

For some reason, my fuschia looked a lot more fuschia till I put it next to this...oh well, I was happy with how it turned out. 

I purchased this flower stamp and punch combination quite a while ago and this is the first time I've used it, just got sidetracked with so many fun new sets out there.  I have to pat myself on the back for using this decorative brad though (I am such a HOARDER when it comes to things like that!)  Anyhow, everything but the brad is Stampin' Up...been a while since I've said that.  Thanks for stopping by, be sure to say hi!

A little birdie...

 

I love this little image from Kiddo Snow Globe by Stampendous combined with the 'little birdie told me' sentiment from Heartsong by Skipping Stones Design...just perfect for a January birthday, don't ya think?

And there's still time to play along with the Stampendous January Challenge...join the fun!
