Turning 21 years old 10 times...

A friend of mine just recently celebrated her 21st birthday for the 10th time...I guess 10th time's a charm! Well, she's one very fashionable chicie so I thought that using one of the awesome Stampendous Scrumptious Shoes would be perfect for her...and it was! Actually I used two shoes! The Sundae Shoe and the "Happy Birthday" from the Birthday Cake Shoe.



I used the Prismacolor pencils & gamsol technique (still practicing on that):


Then I used some Liquid Applique for the "whipped cream" down the shoe (kind of hard to see in the pic):


A little bit of sewing...


I stamped the SU! Celebrate You! stamp once on the pink card stock and once again on white card stock, cut out the cake part and mounted it with a layer of chipboard to give a little dimension:


And viola!...a matching envie:

We Make A Great Pear

Here's a card I made for my fiance that was also for this past week's challenge over at Bitten By the Bug (you should check out the very cute creations that the other designers did!). The challenge was to use the Pear from Home Accents. We were allowed to use it anyway we wanted and this is what I came up with. You would think out of the 28 cartridges that I have that I wouldn't have to ask someone to make the cuts for me two weeks in a row. :P

So once again with some help of my friend and sister BBTB designer DeeDee...she so kindly cut the two pears for me (and actually a few more, so sweet of her!!!, thanks again DeeDee!!!). You must check out her site as well...Scrappin' with DeeDee...and see all the amazing things she does.

The 1st thing that came to my mind when thinking of what to do with a pear was 'hey, we make a great pair", which is actually kind of how my fiance and I got together. A mutual friend of ours one day said "you know...you guys would be a great pair together"...and we thought to ourselves "yeah we would!" and that's how it all happened (a short and sweet story for the grandkids...).

So here is what I did:

-CS: Bazzill "Black", DCWV "Pistachio 149"
-DPs: DCWV "Wedding Black"
-Fluid Chalk Inks: Colorbox "Dune" and "Olive"
-Blossoms: Gartner Embossed White Shimmer Table Confetti and Hero Arts Art Flowers "Spring"

-Misc: Thread, Zots adhesive, Mini Pot Dots, Vellum

I have the best mother in the world!

My mother is an amazing person, so patient, so caring, so loving, so mothering, so everything wonderful...she's done a lot for me lately (well my entire life) but I really felt the need to make a card for her not for mother's day or her b-day, just because...

I used Kazan's sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You, here is her sketch:


I've been in the vintage mood lately and here is my take on Kazan's sketch:


The swirly image behind the Thank You stamp is a stamp from Stampin' Up! which I keep forgetting that I have that I love! It's SO SWIRLY!












Decided to dress up the back of the card as well:
