Birthday Cards

Here are the two cards I made for this party --- I used one card from my stock too (three birthdays in one party -- it was kinda fun!)

Anyway here are the cards:
Mom BDay
This was made to match the vase - the Celebrate is from SU.
I clear embossed the flowers to give it more interest. Mom said she thought it was beautiful. (Yay!)
Jenni Bday
This is basic grey paper and chipboard elements --- I added a lot of bling and bright colors because that is what Jenni likes - I "over decorated" the card for her. She brought it back to the dorm with her because she wants to show it off (Another Yay!)
It was a fun party and then we went to a Halloween party after.
We had a busy day!

I think she was really surprised it was for her. I THINK she liked it - she can be hard to read - I KNOW my niece liked it since she said - well grandma if you don't like it I'll take it!
hehehe

KWerner Color Challenge

In the worlds of Everclear (Warning: obscure song by obscure band reference but it has been running through my head this morning!) "Here we go again... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... I know you had your doubts, I know you think I am crazy, I know your just like me!" here is my KWerner challenge. Yes I WAS going to spend all evening making gifts for my friends YES I did get distracted by this challenge. But it is TOO fun! Here are the colors that Kristin chose this week -- -for me it was a challenge! These colors are suppose to go together? hmmmm. Did I mention I LOVE these challenges. I got a box today from LoriMart (wooohooo) so I was all about using some new stuff. Oh and I HAD to use the template that Kristin offered up to every one with that beautiful swirl. Lets see - I used my Heidi Swapp mask with the Tim Holtz mini misters (mister contained worn lipstick and perfect pearls) to to make the swirls (and the heart in the title). The card itself is Bazzil, I als...

I just need to start packing. So I took a break and made a card. This is for Challenge SCTL7 http://stampinglinkstolove.blogspot.com/ . This week is just add leaves. You need to have at least 5 leaves on your card. Here is my entry. Since things have been so sad around here lately I wanted to remind myself to smile The paper leaves are from Prima and the brad leaves are from my stash. The paper is from Basic Grey and Bazzill and yes it is the same paper as on the last card. The smile is a sticker - I dont remember the vendor but I got it at Target. The stamp is from Northwoods - (background on the paper) I used Ranger esspresso ink with vintage photo distress embossing powder. Everything is inked in ColorBox ink from a Que. The bling is from Kaiser. It may not be my best card but it made me smile! edit: To answer a question: the paper is Desire and Pearl from the Scarlet Letter Collection from Basic Grey --- this is the 8x8 paper version which I like better for card making --- I know n...
