Happy Poppy Birthday! - July 23, 2011

Just a simple birthday card.  The cake pops out with a spring.  Even though it is hard to see, I popped up some of the letters on the happy birthday background paper.

The Corrosive Challenge - July 22, 2011

My creative mojo has not been there for about a week.  I guess I needed a break.  However, I wanted to participate in the Corrosive Challenge #125 but I just did not have any stamps that were about music.  I dug through my swap stash to find this adorable image that I colored to match a 70's theme rock band.  I also added a little glitter to the guitar. This card will be perfect for a birthday!  "Have a Rockin' Birthday!"

The Corrosive Challenge - July 12, 2011

My mother has really been into quilting lately.  She is carrying on the tradition of sewing in my family.  Her mother, my grandmother, was fabulous at sewing.   I am going to be celebrating my mother's birthday in September.  She will be 65 years old.  I think I might hold out and give her this card for her birthday.  The Sketch is from the Corrosive Challenge #124.  You should play along, the sketch is SEW easy!  The stamp set is from Stampin Up Sew Suite.  I made the background paper using SU Bermuda Bay and stamping the spool of ribbon on the back.  The ruler is also made by using the same stamp set.  I cut out the ruler, paper pierced the end, and popped it up with pop up dots!  Have a SEW Fabulous Day!

The Sweet Stop SSS116 - July 11, 2011

My husband is a Cut Above!  He helps me out so much around the house.  I love this stamp set from My Favorite Things Who's That Guy "I love you Mower" especially since my hubby got him a new red lawn mower this year.  I am always looking for the perfect stamp that will go with his personality.  The sketch by The Sweet Stop SSS116 was a perfect match for my stamp.  It allowed me to showcase the grass paper I found at JoAnn's, add a strip of grass instead of ribbon and get out my cuttlebug to emboss my SU real red paper.  My image is also paper pierced and colored with copic markers.  Thanks for stopping by!
