Holy Toledo!! What a Mess!

So I've been trying to create cards like mad to enter in the Winnie & Walter World Card Making Day and one of the entries could be a selfie of your craft work desk.  I'm a little embarrassed to post this picture, and there's a lot more stuff you can't see outside the photo, but I have a sneaky suspicion there are a lot of craft desks that look like this currently!!

Happy Birthday

Yes...it's another birthday card.  This card, although it looks super easy was a little nerve wracking!  I wanted to stamp these fun balloons from My Favorite Things Color Drops set straight on the card front, equally overlapping them and having them descend down equally.  The only other craziness was that I used dye ink on them & had to stamp them repeatedly to get a nice solid color on them.  The sentiment was stamped using the Birthday stamp set from Ranger Letter It.  I especially love the scripty Birthday greeting.  Although it made me a little crazy while making it...I loved how it turned out!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

I was recently talking to my mother on the phone and she told me a funny story about how she took my oldest sister Karen out to lunch for her birthday and during their conversation was reminded that Karen was now 66 years old.  Then she realized that meant she herself would be turning 88 years old in January! She got a laugh out of that because she said she hadn't really thought about it till that moment!  So I had this really cute stamp from an Art Impressions set called Live, Laugh, Love and thought the laughing so hard sentiment was hilarious & would be just perfect for her birthday card.  We can all definitely relate to that experience whether we were 88 or 38...just saying!!  She loves the color purple and has many shirts that have purple on them.She also has lots of costume jewelry she loves to match up with her outfits, so I colored her sweater, earrings & shoes with a purple Promarker.  I also used some gray Promarkers on her pants & hair, then stamped her birthday number 88 on her shirt with some purple ink that matched.  She'll get a real kick out of the card and I can't wait to give it to her!

Happy 7th Birthday!!

 I made this very simple card for my grandson Kenny's birthday in November.  I stamped the numbers in rainbow colors using a Hampton Art stamp set, and cut the number seven several times from blue card stock using a Sizzix number die cut set.  After gluing all the sevens together I adhered it on the center of the card with foam tape.  Using the same color blue I die cute several circles, glued them together and glued them around the seven.  I placed the whole panel on the same blue card stock.  Hope he likes it well enough, although I'm sure that won't be the best part of his birthday LOL!!

You're A Cool Cat

This little cool cat image is from a Simon Says stamp set called Encouraging Animals.  The stamp set is just some fun outline animal images with a few coordinating sentiment stamps.  I am not a colorist...I just use my markers simply to color in some fun stamp images as I did here with the my Promarkers.  After coloring the cool cat, I mounted the base image on some fun coordinating printed DCWV cardstock & then mounted it all on a like colored solid card stock. I will enter this into the Winnie & Walter WCMD 2018 CAS Challenge.
