Celebrate Birthday Flamingo card

A birthday flamingo...why not?  They are colorful birds and perfect for that colorful birthday person in your life.  I colored this flamingo about a month ago and was deciding how to put together a card...reverse of how you should do it.  I was happy when I found the perfect complimenting stamps and paper.

A Little Bit Of Magic Halloween card

We do all have a little bit of magic in us...not enough to fly on brooms but what fun would that be during a rain or snowstorm?  I do love that she shares her broom with an adorable black cat.  I chose to use a saying from Simon Say Stamp instead of the one included with the set.

New Puppy card

I had fun making this special order card for the most adorable puppy.  It was so cute I almost became a dog person over a cat if that tells you anything.  Then reality sunk in and walking an adorable dog that is going to be taller than me stretched out at -20 degrees brought me back down to earth.  I combined a couple stamp sets to get the congrats and dog.  I printed out the words on your new puppy and then diecut them out.

Halloween Spider card

I'm not a fan of spiders.  I do occasionally find they think they have found a home in my basement.  I destroy their traps for bugs that I also hope do not exist in my home.  I have seen a few flies but they are usually hunted by my fearless fly hunter cats.  I've had this silver pigment ink for about 3 years and was happy to finally take the plastic wrap off and use it.

Nap Time Is My Happy Hour card

I'll admit I do enjoy a good nap now and then.  This little guy looks like he's most certainly enjoying his.  I wanted to use the black background so much so I dragged out my dreaded heat embossing tools.  I'm not the best at it but I'm trying.
