More Flowers...

One last pretty flower card for the month. Of course, as I sit here typing this, there is a snowstorm bearing down on us - looking to drop 5-12" of the white stuff on us by the time it is all over - no foolin'!

I started with an open flower image by Penny Black. Colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. Then a did a free cut with a pair of scissors. I attached a silver strip of cardstock down the cut side and trimmed the silver to match the cut line of the white. Then I layered it to a piece of pink cardstock that was stamped with a Printworks vine stamp with VersaMark ink. I added 3 flowers made from punches and a saying to the bottom.

Thanks for coming by!

Guana Give Me A Kiss?

This card is made from a very fun stamp set from Stampendous! The little iguanas are fun and make some humorous Valentine cards! The iguanas are colored with Copic markers and then cut out. The heart and words are stamped on a red felt cardstock, then cut out. The heart is layered to a piece of white cardstock, then a Spellbinders scalloped rectangle. The base card is scatter stamped with a heart image and VersaMark ink. The iguana images are attached with foam tape for a little pop.

Thanks for stopping by!

Custom calendars...

The more uses you can come up with your stamping and scrapping supplies, the more you can justify your expense! At least that is how I look at it. My husband and I own 2 cats. Last year I started making him a calendar with the cats for their Christmas gift. It is one that stands on a little stand. Last year, I think I made the entire calendar on December 24th. This year I started it on the 19th, so I am WAY ahead of the game. I got 3 months done, so I am 1/4 of the way there! This is the January page (when I get it completed, I will show how I make the stand). I used a 6x6" piece of Bazzill cardstock, then stamped an Impression Obsession snowflake image from one of their clear sets over the cardstock with VersaMark ink. I trimmed and attached the photo and calendar piece. I make the calendars with MicroSoft Excel and a fancy font. I added a few punches snowflakes and some self-adhesive pearls from Queen and Company. Their pearls are extra nice because there is not a "strip" of adhesive that you have to cut through and then trim off any excess!

I hope everyone is surviving the last rush before Christmas!
