Rory turns 2 & a Guy Valentine's Day card!

Good Morning!

Today is Rory's 2nd Birthday so we are heading to Chucky Cheese

for some lunch & lots of fun later.

He already received his gifts from Mommy, Daddy & Griffin which he is very excited about...

He received a Cars (Lighting McQueen) ride on , 2 sets of the Disney cars die cast,

& a Little Tikes Car bed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been busy working at my desk making lots of special cards

& one of them is this one for valentine's day for a guy...

I don't know about you but Guy cards are kinda harder for me to do because (most) guys

don't want a frufru girly glittery floral kind of card... LOL

Soooo I went for a Clean and simple style card made with

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Posh' N Trendy digital stamp set.

it's only $5.00! and has some really cute images on it.

I hand wrote the sentiment.. ( yes I know I need to work on my Penmanship! LOL) ,

colored with Prisma pencils, & added some stickles to the corners to add a tiny but of embellishment.

Thanks for looking !

See our challenge guidelines here

So this week at Digi's with Attitude! we released the Mermaid Tween which I so totally love. I just had to make a project for my Little niece who is a little mermaid in her own right ;D
My sister (The little mermaid's Mommy) has done her room up in mermaids
& last year I made a cute frame for her... I have worked on another album since (still not completed) & Now this! It is going to be a counting / number book! =D I might even laminate it to make it live longer.

It looks alot better in person but I couldn't get a good picture of the sheen of the papers... they are that peralized looking paper and looks really neat, it's not completed yet but I love the cover so far...

I am going to add a title (still working on one Any Suggestions)

& adding more stickles to the diecuts... Oh !

I will also be adding more ribbons and such to the rings...

the diecuts are from the Cricut cartridge Spongebob Squarepants
( bubbles, seaweed, jellyfish)

I colored my mermaid with copic & prisma markers
the added stickles.

I also added some pretty jewles to the sea weed! LOL... Glam it up right?

Pretty Pretty Princess card

Last weekend was CHA and I was busy around the house trying to get stuff done before I left. So I didn't get as much done as I would have liked but

I managed to make a few cards but never got to take pictures till today...(Yikes)

( I will make a separate post about CHA and all my goodies,

It was alot of fun and now I know what to do so I won't miss out on a thing! )

I made this Pretty Pretty Princess card, I was going for a bit more Clean and simple style but still have the pretties... I think it came out pretty good.

I had been looking for a sentiment to go with it but couldn't find anything I felt fit the card.

I made one but then decided not to use it.. LOL Ok I forgot to add it in my haste to finish the card ... but I don't really miss it to much.. and this way I can add something later for the correct occasion.

Please don't mind my rough edges ... the blade is shot on my trimmer and I needed to get a new one.. but had been putting it off.. then Rory the little guy Shoved it off the table and broke on of the sides then did it again and broke the other side...so now it is really broken.. Blah.. =D at least now I really NEED it! LOL..

I added some pretty roses in various sizes and some Jewels in various sizes to one side of the card and of course added lots of stickles to the dress, crown, and scepter.. I colored with Prisma markers and copics, and the paper is various scrap... ( but I know it was all bought some time ago at Walmart)

Do you ever feel like you have to get throught the old paper you bought before you can get to the new stuff? ... LOL I do and I swear I bought a huge stack of papttern paper and I am never going to get through it. its just so much.. I use it all the time though.. so maybe one day.. =P

The Stamp is Primsy Princess Stamp By Primsy Doodles found at Mygrafico.com .

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

I have more so stay tuned! LOL I am setting up the schedule for them to post themselves...

I am super busy getting ready fo Griffin to go back to school, getting ready for a road trip ( from IL. to Tx. To FL.) with my sister! and I am getting ready to have a yard sale.. So much to do.. so little time.

Vintage.. so add some vintage appeal or distress your edges with ink or with a tool.. whatever you think looks the vintage part... have fun and happy crafting!

This week the team worked with the

Wild Flower Stamps By Mels Brushes

I just love this set the flowers are so lovely...

A Great perk to this set is that they are also Brushes! Whoo Hoo!
Love, love, love... that!

**EDIT**

Here is my Card... Hope you like it!

I distressed edges slightly with charcoal ink &

distressed the orange cardstock with the Tim Holtz tool.

I used my copics to color the stamped image

and then to get the mottled sky I used a blender pen and

dotted the area I wanted to be softened.

This is a very forgiving technique that anyone can do.

I stickled the flowers and the sentiment is from TLC Creations.. link to store...

or the blog... TLC Creations

MyGraficO challenge # 35

A day late due to my new pc not having everything installed so I could upload my new creations...

for this Mygrafico challenge the team was asked to create something with the colors

Pink, Olive Green, & Brown

I have to say this was a bit of a challenge for me at first

I just couldn't find any Olive Green or Brown paper in my stash.

I guess that means I need to get more stuff! =D

I did eventually find some pieces from a scrap pack I bought a while ago.

the Stamp set we had to choose from was...Keys to my Heart by Sara Paris

Hope you all like the card I made...

Thanks for looking!

All you have to do is upload your project link using the colors pink olive green & brown to the Mygraficochallenge blog in the challenge #35 post and your entered to win! Yay! You can also play along tomorrow for the Wensday DT blog hop so join that too!

Details:

Stickles - gold, candy cane pink, and diamond

Papers- Misc from scrap pack

Digital stamps- Keys to my Heart - by Sara Paris found at MyGrafico.com

Cuttlebug Embossing folder- mesh

I cut the embossed heart's edges to make fringe, stickled all the edges to finish them and made hearts along the outer edges of the card.
