Robin's Birthday

I made this card for my childhood best friend's birthday.  She likes wine...me not so much!  This image is called Birdbrain Wine by From The Heart Stamps...isn't she a hoot?  I colored her with copics and cut out with SB large circle die.  The layout is for MFT Sketch Challenge #373.  DP is from Bugaboo Stamps (couldn't find them in her store), vintage photo distress ink, glossy accents on the wine bottle and glass, clear wink of stella on the grapes, and clear sequins from my stash.  The sentiment came with the image.

Sheila's Birthday

It's been a while since I posted a card.   I went to PA last week to be sworn in as co-executor of my Dad's estate.  It was a bittersweet and emotional visit. I did enjoy hanging out with two of my brothers and two nieces.

Today's card is for my SIL's birthday.  I chose JJ Beach from Bugaboo Stamps.  My BIL is having some health issues and I know they are wishing they were sitting on the beach somewhere!  She is colored with copics, cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die, clear wink of stella on her sunglasses and lips, glossy accents on the drinks as well as her sunglasses.  The layout is for Stella Says Sketch #604.  The drink and striped digi paper is from J Laurie Studio on Etsy and the cs is from Craft Smith.  Ribbon from Craft Smart, pearls, colored with copics by Recollections, drink sticker from Jolee's Boutique, and sentiment from Birds Cards (I think...couldn't find it) cut out with SB large circles die and matted with SB large scalloped die.

Crafting Day

My daughter came for a crafting day yesterday!  She wanted a shirt for the 100th day of school.  She is a math teacher and uses Base 10 math modules.  So she designed her shirt in Silhouette Studio and we cut it out with vinyl.  She is so excited for her students to see it!  The "FriYAY" shirt is one she saw on Etsy and immediately wanted one.  I think they both turned out adorable and she is THRILLED!

We then did a print and cut in Silhouette Studio of Valentine goodies for her students.  All in all we had a very productive day with lots of fun and laughter!

Becky & Chase's Valentine

I made this card for my daughter and her boyfriend.  She LOVES pigs, so I thought it was fitting for them.  The image is called "I'm hog wild over you" by Robyn's Fetish.  I couldn't find her store online, so if anyone has any info on her please let me know.  I colored them with copics, cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched square die, glossy accents on the glass (which the drink is suppose to be a Margarita), and clear wink of stella on the hearts and hair bow.  The layout is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 #129.  DP from The Paper Studio and cs from my stash.  Sizzix decorative flourish die, punches from Stampin' Up!, gems from Recollections, and sentiment by Doodle Pantry (not longer open).
