Silent Scream For Coffee card



This easily could be me with a little gray in the hair and a can of Coke instead of coffee.  I need bunny slippers though.  I have 3 pairs of cat ones.  The hair is dead on.  I tie it up in a bun every night and each morning it looks exactly like this.

Rawr You Make Me Happy card



There's nothing like mixing a dinosaur saying with a leopard stamp that makes a fun card.  I knew I wanted the word rawr and I could have run the blue paper through the printer but what fun would that be?  One tip - I had accidentally ordered two of the grass dies and I'm so glad I did. I'm able to cut two pieces at the same time.

I did a recent giveaway on Instagram of a duplicate stamp set I had accidentally bought.  I had been thinking that I needed to buy a stamp with a birch tree and found out I already owned one so I made up this card to send to the winner.  I really miss this stamp company - I bought so many stamps that I love from them.
