It's almost Pumpkin time, TSSC87

When I saw Mary Jo's sketch this week I didn't have any idea what I would do. I found this Class Act Pumpkin stamp and thought it would be fun to color.

After I colored it I couldn't find any DP to match. Then I got my weekly email from
D.A.I.S.I.E. . Every week their newsletter has something free to download. Sometimes it is a stamped image, sometimes things like candy bar wrappers and this week it was free Digi Paper. I thought this might work for my pumpkins and I think it does. I also decided that I wanted to use a stamp I bought at a convention (can't remember from who) that you cut the middle out and run ribbon through it. I bought a few of these but this is the first time I have used one. I'll have to remember the witches hat when I get to doing Halloween cards.

As you probably know I like to put sayings on my cards. I ran out of space on this one and decided just to stamp a little stamp saying "a happy hello". Unfortunetly I obviously didn't mount it straight so it's crooked and as usual with small letters sometimes they don't stamp evenly. Other than that I really like this card.

Thank you for stopping by. Let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday Bryan

This is the last Birthday card I need to make for about 6 weeks. This one is for my Nephew Bryan. I really wanted to make something different but I have so much trouble with cards for men.

I really like the colors I used for this. I wanted to put something in the pocket. I thought money would be good because that is what I always give him but the colors didn't match and, let's face it, it's all about the card looking good. I then put the paper in to look like a hankerchief but it looked too clean so I crumbled it up and then put it in again. I like the touch of red on the card.

I embossed the light blue to give it a little more texture and then put my corners on it to do something other than just brads. The layout was just a fluke. I put the card down and it wasn't taped yet. The bottom square moved and I like it so I kept it that way.

My next birthday card is for a good friend of mine. She will be much easier! Lot's of choices and you can always fill it up with flowers and bling!

I hope everyone is having a great week. It is so hot here but I shouldn't complain when the news is filled with storms.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like my card.

Another Birthday

How's everyone's weekend going? It's a beautiful day here in the Northeast. I have loved that the humidity has left for a few days and I have been able to open my windows. My sister and I spent the day shopping and it was nice that it wasn't hot and humid. This is probably the last day of this perfect weather for a while so I am enjoying it.

The busy time for Birthdays is coming up for me. Everyone one of my sisters, brother, nieces, nephews and my mother, except one, have birthdays starting 7/27 through 1/7. This one is for my brother.

I bought this stamp at the convention in Springfield. I thought it would be good for the guys cards I need to make. I will probably use it for my Nephews card at the end of August also so I will need to think of another layout. Any ideas would be appreciated!

As I was making this card all I could think of is "What am I going to do when I run out of Wild Wasabi?"!!!! I love this color and SU had ran out by the time I was going to place my last in-color order. I really like most of the SU In-Colors but I hate when I can't get them any longer. I then tend to hoard them. I don't know why but I do.

Well I need to go water my plants and then I think I will finish a Sugar Nellie card I have been working on. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.
