Happy Birthday Wild Thing!! You're how old??

I just LOVE humorous birthday cards.

That makes me wonder how I missed these 

chimps before??  Once I stumbled onto them

I HAD to have them.  They're called

Laughing Chimps and I think they're

perfect paired with two Art Impressions verses...

How Old? and Wild Thing.  I also love that you could
use this image for a child or an adult; man or woman.

We all know it's a little tougher to find great masculine images.

These guys are just perfect for any guy in your life who likes

to chuckle!

 The fun jungle leaves are made with a Sizzix yellow die.

I made the bananas by using an oval punch and punching

near the edge of the paper so only a sliver of oval punched.

The oval mattes were made with a Spellbinders die and an 

oval punch.

 Here's the inside.

My Shabby Valentine

Hi everyone.

This was supposed to be my card for the cards

for children challenge but the wrong card accidentally 

was uploaded so I thought I'd share it now.

 Aren't they the cutest things!

Just perfect for my 5 and 7 year old nieces.

 

The heart border is from Memory Box and the leaves

are made with a punch.

The stamp I used is called Valentot Love.

A Window into Watercolor

Hi Everyone,
Today,I decided to do a watercolor project.I  picked up a few new dies last week, the one I used on this card was a perfect die to use for the scene I made.

Here is the watercolor panel I made, a wheelbarrow from the In My Garden set.

After I finished this A-2 sized panel I decided to use a Window die to highlight the scene from the window. I also used a Sizzix embossing folder to give the card front that brick look.

Here is a peak inside the card to see the scene

And finally if you flip the scene page you have an area to write a note or stamp a verse.

Supplies used:

Stamps - Wheelbarrow from In My Garden 3545, AA1283, AA3017, AA3384, AA1368, A1371, AA1370,C3493,

and I switched gears and made the base and accents

black on the spur of the moment.  I just really liked

the bright pink against the black and vice versa.

on my card today as well as Happy Valentines.

The heart punch is from Martha Stewart.

The embossing folder is from Sizzix.

Corners are an old corner punch I have.

The border is from Memory Box.

Ole MacDonald

Hi Everyone,
Just had to use this stamp since I just received it. It's is a funny stamp and I decided to add some shredded paper because it reminds me of straw. It kind of goes with the theme, don't you think. Then I used a thin wood veneer paper and I stretched a red mesh onion bag over it, that made me think of chicken wire.

Stamps used: J1896 Ole MacDonald, U1832 Rhode Island Rockettes

Card Stock: White CS, Dark Brown CS, Wood Veneer Paper, Yellow CS (Straw)

Red Mesh Onion Bag

Copic Markers:C-0, YR15, R29

Corner Rounder

Stop back tomorrow for more inspiration.

Thanks for stopping in.

I know...it's hard to believe but Valentine's Day is 

just around the corner.  Today I've used a super

sweet image called Small Cupid and another called

They're both from Art Impressions.

 My card base was made with a Spellbinders grand

scalloped square and the hearts are from Nellie's Choice.

My love staple is from Fastenator.

Happy New Year!!

Hope this year ´ll be wonderful to you all!!!
I like to share Valentines day card with you, I have used stamp called "Little Shoppers" and text is "To my friend" And here is my card:

Happy Weekend too!!

The Next Holiday is on It's Way...

...and it is one of my FAVES!!! I love Valentines Day! I love the colors, I love the candy hearts and I LOVE the Art Impressions Valentots! I stamped this little cutie with black Stazon onto watercolor paper. Then, I used STAEDTLER watercolor crayons to color this little darling in! I scribbled some of the crayon onto scrap paper and then I used a water brush to liquefy the color and painted her in! I added some glitter to the pom pom on her cap and here is my creation!

Where did the darling roses come from you ask... well... I MADE THEM!!! here is how! I used a push mold from STAEDTLER and some FIMO effects clay. I pushed the clay into the mold,removed it and here is my flower! The best part? I can make as many as I wan...in any color I want and I can make a whole cookie sheet of them in like 20 minutes! If you done want to by alot of clay... you can always so what i did and that is to add some extra color for dimension by scraping some STAEDTLER karat soft pastel chalks into a little pike and brushing the color onto the clay before baking it! It is a great effect and adds dimension and character super fast! I adhered them to my card with glue dots! easy peasy!Thanks so much for popping in and be sure to keep watching this page for more fun creations!

Happy New Year... and Happy NEW Challenge... Anything Goes!! !# 46
