Simon Says Stamp - Herb Labels

When I received the Simon Says Stamp Just for You Golden Bone package, I immediately thought of a gift card set using the Herb Labels stamps.

It was so fast and easy to make these which is always a plus in my book, especially for a last minute gift when I just might have forgotten about a certain birthday.

ATCAS #234 - Spring

We're baaaack!  I hope you'll play along with us at the Addicted to CAS Challenge #234 Spring. Maybe you think of the season, maybe you think of a clock, a pogo stick, a rabbit, or what have you.  Lots of possibilities!

I masked and watercolored my card then added a few diecut raindrops. I love these quirky Janet Klein images!

Simon Says Stamp - Easter Blessings

I have fond memories of childhood Easters--treat baskets, egg hunting, chocolate bunnies, those horrible Peeps.

ATSM #442 - Christmas

Have you been working on your holiday card stash?  At Addicted to Stamps & More #442, the theme is Christmas so here's another change for you to build your stash.

I sponged my background with Distress Oxides but thought it needed a little something something still, so I also hotfoiled it. Perfection!  Or should I say imperfectly perfect?!

I added the . . . oh, my goodness!  I just realized I forgot to glue the candle to the lamp!  LOL. So so me!

SOSS #230 - Y for Yuck

Y is for Yuck at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge this fortnight.  

Is there anything grosser than feet? Gag. There are plenty of yucky things out there although feet certainly rank high on my list obviously. Other things include fuzzy teeth, the smell of infection, shit, and so very much more.

Please swallow your bile and play along with the challenge if you can!

Dino-Mite Birthday

Once again, I've worked up a super cute birthday card. Birthday cards are what I send most often after holiday cards and I'm part of the Lawn Fawn Addicts Birthday Group as well--any excuse to share the cuteness!

I started the card by sponging the card front and diecut elements with Distress Oxides with the exception of the mushrooms which I colored with Copics.

What a fun scene to create! And, it was so fun to color. I remember as a kid dinos were boring gray or green without the variety seen in today's reptiles (at least in my head that was so, thanks to Godzilla). Pink brontos? Blue and orange stegasaurus?  Why the heck not!

And let's not forget about that terradactyl with its flashy wing membranes. Sassy!
