I just purchased these stamps from my friend Sam who sells for TAC. These ladies are so"sassy" and I have a small handful of friends that will appreciate them! I made these 3 cards using a couple of them from the set "Kalioppe". This first card uses SU Basic Black and TAC's Uptown Girl Paper Pack. I embossed (in black) the image and the words and then colored in the pants with a glaze pen and the shirt with just a black marker. I used Blush Blossom and Pretty in Pink on all 3 ladies bodies with a blender pen. I used Cotton Candy stickles for the dots on the shoes and glasses and the flower on the shirt. Inside the card I made a pocket using the stripe of the front paper attached to a piece of whisper white and embossed a happy birthday in black. This will hold a "substantial" gift card for my daughter for ther birthday.




Michael's. I am always amazed at what you can find there! I colored it in with SU Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie and used the same color papers. The eggs are just stickers that I also found at Michaels and I used them only because they match perfectly. I used the corner punch from "Whale of a Punch". I was going to emboss the background but nothing I had seemed to fit. I am waiting on all those new cuttlebug folders to come in and really wanted to use the Swiss Dots.













The night light was stained glass and so the sentiment inside says:
colored glass: $10 lead $5 wire $1 creative talent for a finished pumpkin - priceless!

These 3 cards were 1) an underwater scene for the big brother of Aidan (who is getting the frame above). Jenne bought him a book and Nemo stuffed animal and we made this card to go along with it. We got the Nemo from Clip Art. The seaweed is just stamped and cut out on bashful blue and brown torn paper. Inside Nemo says I am the big brother and we also put a little goldfish that says Hi Big brother. The 2) is a trifold card using Baby Boy paper from JoAnns and Brocade Blue and some funky star brads I just happen to have a million of in several colors! This card was for the parents of Aidan and his Big Brother. 3) is a birthday card for Jenne's boyfriend Corwin's niece. She loves butterflies and we were looking on line on Splitcoast and saw a similar card-can't remember who to thank for this! We just drew dots, added tiny prima flowers, and stamped a butterfly and popped up a duplicate on top. This is a $1 stamp from Michaels. Anyway it was a very productive weekend!
| What Your Pizza Reveals |
People may tell you that you have a small appetite... but you aren't under eating. You just aren't a pig. You are a very picky pizza eater. Not any pizza will do. You fit in best in the Northeast part of the US. Your taste is rather complex and sophisticated. You consider yourself a gourmet - and a bit of a snob. You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is hippie. You knew it was coming. |
