Leo's 18th Birthday Card


Leo loved his birthday card - I can't believe my baby is 18 already!!! You blink and miss it.
Here I raided my stash of metal accents and large grey sparkles from the Halloween assortment.
Lots of Birlap ribbon and paper from the Frosted paper pack added pattern to the Desert Sand Base.
I dry embossed the Outdoor Denim cardstock accent peice.
I used the Cork numbers for more texture and the Colonial White color ready seam binding ribbon.
I was really happy with it - Hope you like it too

Its that time of year again !!!

I KNOW - I was doing so well with months and months of posts regularly from Mondays through to Fridays - and now for the last 2 weeks - NOTHING!!!

You all know why ............!     I am creating for Convention , trying to teach both jobs, dealing with a graduating high school senior - which equals working 7 days a week - so my poor little blog gets forgotten.

So with all of that in mind - please hang on - don't give up on me - and I will try to post artwork when I can between now and the end of the month when I head for California to teach at the Close To My Heart Convention xxxxx

Kaboom - Stamp of the month card

I want to have a party and make these fun invites.
I used the Chevron Embossing Folder to make the background and then rubbed the Pacifica ink pad over the op which really highlights the pattern.
I wrapped Backers twin around the side of the card and made the fun ticket by stamping the image 3 times and then cutting different parts from each image and paper piecing them together.
I used the 1 1/4" circle punch to cut the 2 circles for the "fun" image and stamped them in
 Honey and Cranberry inks.
I will make sure to send you and invite when I set the date :O)
