we're in this together

I have wanted this stamp set for a while & when I first saw it, this card design popped right into my head, so it was fun to make it today.

my new stamps

from My Favorite Things. My order came in Saturday afternoon, and I made the card below ASAP. today I made another one, I'll post it above. These stamps are fab, if you have never tired them, you should, the quality is great.

good friends are worth the effort

boy, are they ever!! I cherish my close friendships, they are the candy of life! and sometimes the backbone as well.
I got my order from my favorite things today, and of course I had to get some of them inky ASAP! Maybe tomorrow, I'll post what all I got. but for now, here's my card I made today. colored with prisma markers & pencils, I added a little stickles to the butterfly.

happy birthday

I made this birthday card today. I paper pieced the bottom of the cupcake and used my xyron to add adhesive to the top of the cupcake, then I poured on the super fine glitter. I am impressed with how well the glitter stuck, it's not shedding at all.

tree with crow atc

This is my tree atc fro Suzi's atc swap at the stamp shack. The tree image is stampin up! and the lil bird (crow) is a tac stamp. I used my new stampin up! reinkers to wash on the sky color, used my prisma markers for the grass.

planted in my heart

this is an atc I made for Suzi's forest flora & fauna swap at the stamp shack. I used Riley by Hanna stamps for this and colored it with prisma markers. I sponged the sky on.
