It Sucks That I Missed Your Birthday card

Yep.  We're all human and we've all done it...missed a loved ones birthday.  I love this sweet new set from Newton's Nook Designs.  I actually stamped this at 5 am and had it colored by 5:30.  My intention was to take it to work to color but I just dove right into it because I have having so much fun.

Comfort & Peace card

I came across some paper that is just almost too beautiful to use.  I have a lot of that.  I was able to trim this down and had a stamp that was the perfect size to turn this into a beautiful sympathy/thinking of you card.

Mom's Instruction Manual card

It's too late for a birthday card or Mother's Day card for my mom but this would be perfect.  She used to wear curlers to bed and swears she still has indents from them.  Love these stamps from Technique Junkies.  I used a light gray ink to stamp the background and it turned into a lovely lilac.  Win win!

Sassy Pants card

Our office has a running joke about who is wearing the sassy pants on any given day and sometimes it changes throughout the day multiple times.  I bought the stamp for a friends birthday and just added the girl into my collection.  The gingham paper was on sale at My Favorite Things so of course a couple pads fell into my shopping cart.  This is my first time stamping on the background paper.  I like how it turned out.
