Inside of card
On Friday we are celebrating my nephew's birthday. Not that he's into robots or anything, but I thought this turned out to be a super cute card. My colors are Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss, and Real Red. I colored my robot (from LAD) with COPICS, and added a little glitter. The card base is intended to look like a gear. I just cut out a large circle with my Coluzzle, then cut out the notches. We are off to dr. appointments so have a great day!
Happy Birthday baby boy! Where does the time go?
Wow! The colors on this card looked all whacked out in this photo, but this is Cart-man's birthday card.
This tiny little blob is Hemi the night we brought her home. 
This is her today, at 70 lbs.
Of course I had to make her a card. I used D is for Dog. The dp is by American Crafts. I liked that it had numbers and that I could highlight the one with a circle.
Isn't this little guy just the cutest?! How many of you are ready to ship your kids off to school. Before we know it it will be here. I've got to be honest, I'm not ready for them to go back to school. It just hasn't felt like summer. It's going way too fast. They don't start until September 3rd, so we have a few weeks yet. I just did some supply shopping, so I was in the mood to make a back to school card for Carter. He is going into his second year of preschool. I used Billy & Dress Up Lily/Billy Accessories from PCS for this one. The dp that was used is by Three Bugs In A Rug. The layout was inspired by this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch. I colored the main image with Copics and I added Crystal effects to make the apple shiney. Don't you just love his little plaid shorts? I paper pieced those because Carter is wearing plaid shorts on his first day of school . I hope you week is going well! Happy Hump Day:-)
Today we are having Cameron and Carter's birthday party. It is a miserably, rainy day. The party was supposed to be outside, but it's looking like we are all going to be cooped up inside. Yippy! Not being able to stamp for over a week, and the way things are going around here this morning I needed some stamping therapy. I made this super quick card because if Dustin found out that I was stamping rather than marking things off my long list of to-do' s that I've been complaing to him about he'd be a little upset with me. I didn't even add a sentiment. I figured I'd put this in my stash for one of those times you need a card last minute, and I will just add the perfect sentiment then. Well, hope all is well for you on this rainy Saturday!

TGIF everyone!! We are going camping again this weekend, but it's cool and rainy. Hopefully the weekend won't be a total washout. I finally inked up one of the images fromthe Loads Of Fun set. I recently bought an outfit from Gymboree that inspired me to make this card for my nephew, Myles. Well, gotta run! Have a great weekend!!
This card is for my favorite brother in law who has a birthday at the end of this month I used my new Farm Life set. It was much harder to use that I thought it would be. The setails are tiny and it's hard to color. Going to have to practice with set for a while. I used my second to largest nestie scallop rectangle to cut out the main image. The buttons are a mix of PTI, SU!, and great- grandma K's closet. (Erin knows what this means-lol) The d.p. is older stuff from SU! And yes I took this picture in our wheat field. Happy Tuesday!
I've been trying to finish a scrapbook layout for the umteenth day now, but the mojo just isn't flowing. So I decided to put together a card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch instead. We are going camping this weekend so I pulled out my Happy Camper set from TCP. I hadn't inked up this adorable little skunk yet, so I chose him for the main image. You can't tell from the pics, but he has white fun flock on the white parts of his body. I use liquid applique for his marshmallow, and there is a little glitter on the center flames of the fire. I used Cosmo Cricket's Mr. Campy paper. I don't know what I'm going to do when I run out of that stuff. Well, back to that layout. I refuse to let it go unfinished today!
I know it's the middle of summer vacation, and we shouldn't be thinking about school, but I like to stay a few steps ahead of the game. I was working yesterday on Christmas gifts for teachers. You may think I'm crazy, but it's less that I will have to do when the holiday season approaches. I will wait to share those teacher gifts with you until another time, I am sharing with you a card that I made. I used PTI's Teacher's Apple, along with the alphabet from last month's release at the Cat's Pajamas. I also wanted to use up my previous stock of in colors, so I used Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. The border punch is Martha Stewart. I hope the first half of your week is going well!
I hope everyone a a safe and happy 4th of July! Our weekend was wonderful and busy, but I'm glad to back into somewhat of a routine today. My card today is a birthday card for one of my little daycare boys. He turns 2 this month and he loves elephants. I used the new Animal Stories set and Tall Tales d.p. The sentiment is from the Short & Sweet set. Oh the ribbon is new too. The color is Crushed Curry. If you haven't looked through the new Stampin' up idea book and catalog , you should! Happy Monday!
