Our Creative Corner Inspiration Challenge

A couple of weeks ago, I finally broke down and ordered stamps from Taylored Expressions. I love those stamps, but I knew if I ordered just once, I would want more. She's got cupcakes everywhere and I love cupcakes!

I also have on my list of challenges one from Our Creative Corner. The minute I saw this picture, I knew exactly what stamps I had to use!


So I hauled out my stamps, inks and paper and got to work. The holly leaves are from Quickutz and I knew I just had to use them. I used some scraps of green paper, and Stickles work with everything!

Falalalala card details:
Stamps: Home Sweet Home (Taylored Expressions)
Paper: Whisper White (SU!), red & green (random)
Ink: Real Red, Green Galore, Close to Cocoa (SU!)
Accessories: Quickutz RS-0477, ribbon, stickles

I loved working with this stamp and I can't wait to get more!

Fifty Is Nifty!!!

Today is Pam's birthday. Pam is my next door neighbor. She's the big 50!!!!! Her birthday marks the beginning of what all the neighbor's call the Big Birthday Bash! We will all turn the same age over the next 2 months. There's quite a few of us, lol.

As I'm still catching up from last week, I decided to make Pam a card, and combine it with this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, GREASE!!!


I had sort of planned a card in my head last week, and had thought simple was better, lol. But I really wanted to do something nice for her. So this is what I came up with.


While I was making that card, I kept seeing something different in my head, but to be honest the next card wasn't it. I'll keep trying.


It's still cute, but I think I'll keep this for a teen birthday or something.


I hope you like it! Please check out the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Thanks for looking!
