Good morning!
I hope all you lovely mothers out there had a wonderful weekend and a fabulous Mother's Day yesterday. My mom and I enjoyed a quick little trip into town where we did a bit of shopping and treated ourselves to some yummy food. My mom is my best friend and I am lucky enough to live close and see her all the time but it still felt good to do something a bit special for her day. :)
Moving on to my card for today, I've paired Wink Mae up with this cool TV die that I got from Simon Says Stamp. Mae is a 'big head' stamp in that the image is only head and shoulders but she isn't really that big. Which is the reason why I decided to have her star in her own TV show. When I got her I was thinking the stamp was larger and would be much more substantial on the card. I should have known better though, because the set also comes with a frame stamp. Honestly, I would have much preferred a bigger head and then a frame wouldn't even be necessary. Oh well, at least I had an excuse to break out this tv die that has been just itchin' to get on a card, LOL! And I had just the right sentiment set to bring this card all together. ;)
Later gators!

Happy Friday everybody!
The annual Apple Blossom Festival here in my home town is tomorrow and it is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend for it. I'll miss the parade because of work but hopefully catch some of the other activities later in the afternoon.
Totes Anya here looks like she is ready to enjoy some outdoor festivities herself. Yep, I think she is about to hop on that fancy bike and and enjoy a ride to the park on a sun shiny afternoon. The papers are just a mix of scraps that I thought created a pretty pastel background and color palette for Anya. Then I die cut some tiny flowers and sprinkled them around her so that I could enter this card into the FFF 'flowers' challenge.
Ok, time for me to scoot. Take care and have a fabulous weekend! :)

Olo!
Well I couldn't very well make a card with Cupcake Henry and not make a card with Cupcake Nancy too! So here is the counterpart to yesterday's card and it even uses the girlie version of those Doodlebug birthday papers. The papers had an interesting color combo with that grey being thrown into the usual mix but I kinda like it. So I ended up giving Nancy light grey pants to match and then kept the rest of her outfit nice and bright. She got the same candle glow treatment as Henry did and it does show up a bit better in this pic but I promise it is much more dramatic in person. All in all another fun birthday card to add to the stash and hopefully bring a smile to someones face someday. :)
Now I've got a day off to enjoy but first are all the chores that I've been neglecting this week. If only laundry and the dishes would magically wash themselves... oh, how a girl can dream! LOL ;)
Smooches!

Hello there!
It's been a while since I've made a boy card and yesterday I was in the mood to put one together. So I grabbed Cupcake Henry from Roberto's Rascals and went to town. He's so fun and looks so happy, I can't believe that it took me so long to ink him up! I wanted the colors of this card to be bright and playful so I headed straight for my stash of Doodlebug papers. And I found just what I was looking for... love, love, love that stripe print it really adds a wonderful energy to the design. Of course I colored Henry up to match and I even gave him some cool candle glow by adding a bit of Y02 to his hair, face, and arm but it didn't pick up all that well in my photo, bummers. Still, it is a pretty cool looking card in real life and I can't wait to send it to some special birthday boy. :)
Another day, another dollar... guess I should go get ready for work.
TTYL! :)

Hi-ya!
I made today's card to join in the current Tiddly Inks challenge, 'So Sweet'. I had this raspberry paper from Jillibean Soup and wanted to pair it with this small canning jar die from Memory Box. Then I grabbed my Peachy Pixie rubber stamp, which is technically from Stamping Bella, but the digi version is available in the Tiddly Inks store. I cut her away from the branch she is originally sitting on and placed Peachy on my sentiment strip instead. Sure she is tiny but it totally looks like she is enjoying some sweet raspberry jam... yummm! ;)
Alrighty, I'll see y'all again tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hello again!
I got a new stamp during a sale last week and I couldn't wait to ink her up for my card today. She's called 'Make a Wish' from Penny Black and talk about being fun to color... especially that hair. I even played around with a new color combo to get that strawberry blonde look, which I'm quite pleased with. Because she is a fairly large stamp it didn't leave much room for layers of papers and embellishments even though I went with a larger A6 size card. So I went clean and simple with just a single strip of pretty paper across the top and I cheated with the stitching by cutting a tiny strip from a piece of stitched cardstock. Love the added detail without the added work, LOL!
Ok, Monday morning means back to work so I should get a move on.
Later gators! :)

Happy Friday, happy May Day!
I needed a fairly quick stamp to color up yesterday and when I found this Miss Anya in my stack of pre-stamped images I knew she was just the gal for the job. She is from the Summer set and is the last of these three Miss Anyas to find her way on to a card. My other crafty motivation was to use this cool Hero Arts ombre ink pad as well. So I found a nice, bold sentiment and went to town. I'm a sucker for anything ombre so this ink makes me all kinds of happy... love it! Pairing orange with teal is one of my all time fave color combos so I found this polka dot print and then proceeded to give Miss Summer a matching ensemble. I think this card definitely has a fun and youthful vibe perfect for a young lady enjoying a summer birthday. :)
And now I should go get ready for the day. Take care and I shall be back Monday with my ever continuing adventures in card making. LOL ;)
