Multiple Card Week...

September is a super busy month, a TON of birthdays, (including mine :) !!), our anniversary, school starting, vacation..where to find time to create the oodles of cards I need to make!!! I have been busy colouring the last couple of nights, one with my good friend Angie who is always ready to colour! I had a couple thank you cards to make for my boys' daycare providers, Ben is moving up to the next level (AAAHH, my baby!), and Malcolm is leaving completely as he starts Grade 1. I didn't get a picture of Ben's thank you card, it was really sweet too. Oh well, can't share them all!

But here is the card Malcolm will be giving to the great ladies that have taught him so much over the last couple of years:
Surprise, surprise... orange and dinosaurs....I know, no surprise really!!! I embossed the Greeting Farm image with black ink and clear powder, than coloured it with chalk and distress inks. And I love my EK Success dinosaur punch.

Next up is my niece's 10th birthday card. I popped it in the mail this morning, hopefully it makes it to Winnipeg in time!!
Love this High Hopes stamp! I coloured her in with my pencil crayons and mineral spirits. There is both Creative Imaginations paper and Basic Grey, some Kaiser pearls, Prima flowers, and a Martha Stewart edger punch.
A bit hard to see but I also added a bunch of sparkle using my clear star gel pen. My niece loves horses, she has a couple as well as a couple miniature ponies. I really wish they all lived closer!! Happy Birthday!!!

I have lots more to create!! FIL, SIL, my 2 boys, my anniversary, birthday invitations, and still manage to put together some layouts for SGD!!! Wow,what am I doing at work? Oh yeah, paying for my hobby!!

Have a splendid day!!

Thinking of You

So this card was intended to be a cheerfully optimistic thinking of you card for a friend, whose dad is extremely ill. Sending good thoughts, hugs and kisses and all that. Upon posting the image, it perhaps could be interpreted as a valentine's card!

I used a Whiff of Joy stamp (big surprise there!), coloured with chalk ink and pencil crayons, the paper is Prima, cardstock is Bazzill, the sentiment is from CC Designs, and some Kaiser Craft pearls. And a new Martha Stewart border punch!

Send good thoughts to my friend please, she really needs it. :)

Welcome Baby Girls!!

Welcome to the world little girls! A friend of mine had twin girls a month or so ago and I finally got around to making her a card. I am such a rotten friend. Her son is in my son's SK class and will be over for a play date this afternoon so I got my butt in gear last night and made a card. I used my favourite Whiff of Joy stamp and some swirly stamps, stamped in unknown gold ink and embossed the images with clear embossing powder. The paper is from the Road Show line from Fancy Pants. (Fast becoming my favourite Paper Co.) I coloured the image with pencil crayons, highlighted with an opaque white pen, added some pearls, used my one and only Martha Stewart border punch and voila!


Inside the card, a sentiment from the same paper line:

Next I need to work on still life photo taking! Have a fabulous day!!

Another Whiff of Joy Card

Here's one more card I did recently. Another Willow image from Whiff of Joy. So so cute. Again, I am really loving the sepia look, so on this card I stamped Willow on some printed fabric, then coloured her in with some Fluid Chalk ink.

Whiff of Joy!

I am really in love with Whiff of Joy stamps!! This is a copy of a card I made for a friend, to welcome her new baby boy (born this morning!!!) Congratulations!!



I stamped the image on some designer paper using Cocoa Brown Memento Ink, then coloured her in using brown and ivory conte, highlights with an opaque white gel pen. I love the sepia look it came out like.
