A Quickie!

Just wanted to share a quickie with you today.  We had a baby shower at work yesterday for my lovely co-worker Michele.  My girlfriend Ana had this idea to make cupcakes out of birpcloths, so fun!  I made the decor around the cupcake and together we assembled them.  Aren't they cute?!  I used the umbrella stamp from the Lawn Fawn Plus One set.  I am also proud to say that my co-workers raised about $400 to donate for Michele and family to have a meal service or whatever they need when baby comes! :)  Yay!

PS- there is a fun blog hop over at Paper Smooches today, check it!

Happy Weekend!

Doing a fly by

Hellooooo....don't have a lot of time today but wanted to do a quick fly by to show you this card.  This one is for this weeks Lawnscaping Challenge- create your own patterned paper with Lawn Fawn Stamps. 

I have to say, it was hard to decide what stamps to use on my patterned paper, but ultimately I decided on the swirls and heart from the Cruising Through Life set, they just seemed right.  The plane and clouds are from the Bon Voyage set.  I decided the plane needed to be pulling a message but the messages I kept wanting were too long, so I just went with a simple thank you and the flag (again from Cruising through Life).  They seemed to be perfect for a sky flying message pulled by fun twine.


So that's all for this fly by.  Until next time....

Feeling like a Space Cadet

Well the work week is finally over and I am feeling like a huge space cadet!  Or maybe, that is just want I want to be.  Honestly this week, this month, this year have been so busy and just gone by at warp speed.  I don't like things to drag, but I hope after this big project at work ends that things slow down just a little bit.

But hey, it looks like I am not the only one feeling that way.  Check out this little alien in the UFO from the Paper Smooches Space Cadet stamp set.  He is pretty darn cute.  I thought this would be one more fun card for the sketch challenge they have going on at the Paper Smooches Sparks Blog.  I flipped it around to make it work how I wanted it. :)  I finished up with some crystal effects on the lens of the telescope and the UFO.

Well I hope your weekend turns out the way you want, whether busy or not.  My parting thoughts come from Spock, "Live long and prosper!"  :)

Have a Blissful Birthday!

I just wanted to share one more card with you.  I made this one a few weeks back for my Uncle Bob for his birthday.  The candles are just paper, but the flames are the fire from the rocket ship in the Paper Smooches Space Cadet stamp set.  I am pretty happy with the way this card turned out.  I hope my Uncle liked it.  :)

When I was little I had no sense of humor, I was very sensative and serious and and when either my dad or Uncle teased me I always got my feelings hurt.  As an adult I still have a sensative side, but I also have a good sense of humor (at least I think I am funny- wink).  I attribute that to these two men the most, my Uncle and Dad.  Uncle Bob, you are a special guy!  Hope you had a blissful birthday!

Thanks for stopping!

Spiderwoman

Hello!  I just wanted to quickly share a card I made for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge this week, which is a sketch.  Here is what I was looking at...

...here is what I made...

 What do you think?  I used the new Spookalicious Stamp set that I won on a blog hop (set below)!  The pumpkin is the body (minus the stem) and the angry mouth makes all the legs.  You can't really be scared though, because this spidey lady has a cute little bow on her that says she is sweet. :)

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!

Summertime!

What is it about summertime that just makes you want to have cold sweet things like ice cream, otter pops and lemonade?  Well whatever it is, I like it, because I love all of those things.  What cools you down on a nice hot summer day?
Well in the spirit of summer and the Lawnscaping One Layer Challenge, I've decided to use my newest set Make Lemonade.  This card was so easy and fun to make being only one layer.  Actually, I messed up on my coloring a few times, the yellow was getting black streaks from the black in.  Then it dawned on me to use my Staz On ink...dur!  What can I say, it is hot in my place and I wasn't drinking anything cool at the time.  I am now though...can you guess what it is?!  Lemonade you say...NO!  Margaritas!  :)  This set would be perfect for stamping that too.

Stay cool!

Just Because

I have one more to show you today just because. I won this stamp set, Spookalicious, from the Paper Smooches blog hop about two weeks ago.  It was fun to break the set in. :)
