Whoo Misses you?

This is what the inside of the card looks like.

A card I made for my son and his girlfriend.  They were here in April to surprise me with a visit They were here and my other son and his two kids came as well.  I hadn't seen them since we moved to North Carolina about 4 1/2 years ago.  It was the best surprise a mother could have ever asked for.  Anyway, I was just think about my son and his girlfriend and wondering when he was going to pop the question to her.  Soon, I hope.  I absolutely adore her.  I was looking through my stamps for an outdoors stamp and had forgotten that I had this one.  She loves owls, so I was thinking about what I could do with this.I had some different sayings for different animals and this card is the result.  Hope you like it.

This card will be entered into the Addicted to Stamps challenge# 84.  Their theme this time around is the Outdoors.  Check them out here: http://addicted-to-stamps-challenge.blogspot.com/

Have a Tweet Birthday

 

Time for a new challenge at Creative Inspirations. http://cinspirations.blogspot.com/ 

This week the challenge was this sketch:

 

I made this card using black card stock for the base.  I then placed a layer of aqua card stock the bird theme paper attached to it.  Each layer decreasing in its measurement to allow visual of previous layer.  The image in the middle is a Tweet Birthday Scallop Circle did stamp from Any Old Craft. I downloaded it to my Picasa program and tinted it to match the paper I was using and then printed it and cut it out.  Placed a strip of aqua cardstock across the middle and the digi stamp on top of that.  Used a teal ribbon for the bow and two aqua flowers with pearl centers on each side of the image  Hope you like it.

I must say that I am new to the world of digi stamps and I gotta tell you, I am hooked.  I still like my clear stamps and acrylic blocks but this has opened up a whole new level of crafting for me.

They are always available to lift you up, build you up, pray for you, cry with you or make you smile and laugh.  I call it an honor to include them in my circle of friends.

I am entering this card in the following challenge: Tuesday Morning Sketches # 252. You can click on their button on my right side bar or click here: http://tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/

Card Recipe:

This was a very simple card to make, as I simply used everything from a Close to My Heart Paper pack and the matching Close to My heart Stickease stickers. How much easier can it get?  The paper pack I used was an oldie that I found in my stash called Boom-Di-Ada.  I am so glad that I found it.  I like the paper and the colors. The only extra thing I added was the green and white polka dot ribbon.  It matches better than the picture is showing but I can't figure out how to get the coloring right.  Hope you enjoy it.

Barrel of Monkeys

Made this card for my husband.  He is one of the funniest people I have ever met and he always keeps me smiling.  You know the old saying" More fun than a barrel of monkeys"?  Well, most of the time, our marriage has been that way. With his sense of humor and the ability to bring it out in myself, that trait has gotten us through some of the hard times. He can see the good in any situation and we are able to look back and laugh at some of those times now. At the time, I thought the little interruptions in life were major catastrophes.  I am glad to say that I have matured since then and some of his humor has rubbed off on me, and I can look at life with a happier attitude.Hope you like it.
