Swap 8 x 8 Turkey Layout - May 28, 2011

Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here and we will be gobbling up our festive feast!  This is the layout I made for an 8 x 8 swap.  I colored the turkey using copic markers, added some feathers and incorporated some pattern paper from DCWV to make a simple layout.

From My Husband: Congrats on my New Job! - May 27, 2011

Today starts my nine day vacation break before I start my new job.  Last night to celebrate, my husband surprised me with all these fun wrapped packages.  Inside the packages were all sorts of scrapbook paper he had picked up while he was traveling.  He also found scrapbooking embellishments for our pictures, ribbon and supplied me with all of these new stickles!!!  I was so surprised and had to share the news!  I have the best hubby in the world!  Thank you hubby for celebrating with me!  Now, I plan to play in my craft room for days!!!!!

WT323 Challenge - May 26, 2011

To start out with, this is not the prettiest card I have ever made, but I had fun working on the challenge.  The challenge was to make a card with a music theme.  So I looked to my iTunes and found a great song from the 80's called " Stray Cat Strut" by the Stray Cats.  The inspiration my cats, Bonnie and Clyde.  I used the Cricuit to cut out the cat and piano.  The cat is Fun Flocked in Orange with some added googly eyes.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado.  I embellished the card with a cat.  So please have some "Cat Class and Some Cat Style" for my music theme challenge card.

Thinking of You - May 25, 2011

The Side Step Cards are so adorable and fun to make that I attempted another one today.  They have started to become one of my favorite cards to make.  Of course, my second card has umbrellas in it also because of all the rain we have had plus the me and my Big Ideas designer paper is super cute to use.  I was able to pop up the umbrellas for a more three dimensional look.  The card is made with Stampin Up Barely Banana paper and with Papertray Ink white paper. The images are stamped with black Memento Ink and colored using my Copic markers. I used my Magnolia image, SU saying, and CTMH D1415 Happy Spring set to decorate this card.
