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:

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!

Mocha Latte Joe Espresso Java!

Here's a card that I'm making for a friend of mine that I have been thinking about a lot lately as she's been going through a very tough period in her life. It's based off of Kazan's sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You for an application to be on their design. My other entry is below post.

I'm also going to be using this card as one of my entries to the latest Bitten By the Bug contest.

Here's Kazan's sketch:



And here's my take on it:













Stay tuned for the inside of the card and the envie as well!

Wish me luck!

A few Thank You cards

I made these over a month ago for my fiancé's son to give to those that gave him b-day gifts. I cheated a bit by using Premade Cards & Envies by DCWV Embossed Box of Cards and their Scallop & Rick Rack Box of Cards, since I needed to make these really quickly...

To dress them up I used SU!'s Thanks a Bunch Wheel Barrel stamp, embossed it and colored it in with markers on one of them. On another one I used Inkadinkado Thank You stamp which I also embossed it and colored it in with markers, added Prima flowers & Gems. Then on another one I used the Thanks with a flower cut from Cricut's Stamped Cart and added some rhinestones. And on the last one I used Prima's Daisy Doddles Candy Pink Blossoms and Flower & Butterfly Rhinestones (the Thank You was already embossed on the premade card).

And here they are:
















TFL!
