Hang in There Dearie!

I got this free digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps Friday Freebie. This is Stella, isn't she a kick? The inside reads - What's one more friggin' candle? Oh I can count any number of my friends who would laugh at getting this but this one is going for the 'Hang In There' Challenge at the Crafty Card Creators Yahoo group. I used Crayola glitter glue on the cake frosting, tablecloth and streamers. The paper is DCWV Sweet Treats Glitter pak, man have I used this paper a lot! Card stock is Martha Stewart.  Image colored with Marvy Markers

Love U A Latte

Isn't this just the cutest shape card? I got the file from The Alliance Center and cut it with my Cricut. Just love that steam coming out of the cup.

Birthday Challenge

Crazy for Challenges has a Challenge right now to create a Birthday card, this is the first time I'd been to this blog and I'm loving the creative inspiration that is all over the place on it! So here's my entry(s)

I cut the mat out on the Cricut, the candles are die cuts for the Cuttlebug, the flower is from Perfectly Clear Stamps - Sunny Flowers collection.

After I finished the first one I had this neat reverse of the mat cut out and just hated to toss it so I made another card and added a rub on from MSE.

On this one I used my Creative Memories tearing tool to make the bottom edges

The Happy Birthday stamp is from Perfectly Clear Stamps the Everything Happy Collection

Cheerleader Hooray!

Hat Lady - January Express Yourself Swap

I just love this stamp from Stampendous! The black checkered is wallpaper, the little Hello stamp is from Clear Stamps - Sunny Flowers, feathers are a pack from Michaels. Edge punch is from EKSuccess. This was my first attempt using this stamp and to me it's a little messy, I'll be making more and one will be for my Express Yourself Swap at Crafty Card Creators Yahoo Group.

Hearts a plenty

Not happy with this card but I'm posting it anyway. I like the inside but just couldn't get the outside to come together. I still may bag the outside and cut it off and restart again, using just he inside. Sometimes you just can't get things to work for you!

Adventure

I used a piercing tool and went around the three sides of the front then used a gel pen to connect the holes, it really looks like stitiching. Inside rub on from MSE

Birthday Wishes

I stamped the package, watercolored it, adhered it to heavy card stock cut it out and foam attached it to the light green mat. Love the color combos here. Birthday Wishes rub on by MSE.

Floral patterns

Love the Victorian feel of this card

Thoughtfulness

This is acutally a tri fold card, folding up and down from top and bottom.

Blank Inside

I always forget about embossing a printed paper so I tried it this time and really like the outcome.
