Vintage Birthday



My Grandma's birthday is coming up next week and I wanted to make her a special birthday card. I'm really diggin' this stamp from the Cheeky Collection at The Greeting Farm as I love all things vintage.

I used some shimmery red Bazzill cardstock, some Cosmo Cricket decorative paper, vanilla Bazzill cardstock, Ranger tea dye to sponge the edges, and a brad from Stampin' Up's vintage brad collection. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up as well. I added some black pleated ribbon, or as my hubby likes to call it, "curtains", to the bottom of the red cardstock strip.

Copic Markers used: R29, E000, E00, E02, R81, E35, YG63 (Eyes)

Wild Thang!

There's a wild challenge going on at The Greeting Farm's blog. We're challenged to use some animal stamps as well as a sketch from Cindy Haffner. Check it out.




















The challenge is actually a two week contest/guest designer search. They're looking for someone to work specifically with the WONDERFUL animal images by Marina Neira for the month of December. Are you interested? If so, you can read all about it here. Pretty exciting, isn't it?!

Here's my submission. I really enjoyed this sketch. I hope you try it out too.























For this card I used:

SU Not Quite Navy cardstock
SU Always Artichoke cardstock
Cosmo Cricket paper
Nestabilities Circle Embossing Die
SU Oval Punch
SU Scalloped Oval Punch
Copic Markers
White Jelly Roll pen for the faux stitching

Wild!

Hello!

It's Thursday and there's frost in the grass outside where I live. The cool air is quite refreshing actually. Our two dogs, Samurai and Abbey, are really enjoying the outdoor weather. They've been spending a great deal of time chasing each other in the backyard. Here are pictures of both of them in case you're an animal lover.

This is Samurai, a five year old golden retriever. We adopted him last February. He's a real sweetie, has the run of the house and sleeps on our bed. He's a real cuddle-bum. He's a lot bigger than this photo portrays him. He's waiting for a cookie.





















Here's Abbey. Sort of named after Abbey Road I think. Anywho, she's a german shepherd cross and is about 16 weeks old now. We adopted her in September. She's very sweet as well and really looks up to her dog brother Sam. She's really good at night in regards to potty training and also sleeps in our room. It's a good thing we have a big bed!

We're waiting for her to grow into her huge satellite ears. Sometimes we just call her "Ears".






















For this week's challenge on The Greeting Farm's blog: http://www.splendidstamping.blogspot.com/ , we're to make a card with certain images, images of wild animals. I love it! This is what I came up with. I'm sure I'll make more.



















I used Cosmo Cricket paper, SU Cardstock (Not Quite Navy & Ruby Red), and added some embellishments with a Sizzix die cut. I love the bright colours on this card. I'm not usually a bright-coloured-card kinda girl. I mostly just stick with earthy colours. Brown and red are used a lot in my craft room. What about you? Do you have favourite colours?

Hope you have a great day!

I made this card for a challenge given at http://www.splendidstamping.blogspot.com/, and gave it to my son with a healtfelt sentiment inside. Home is definitely wherever my eleven year old son Evan is. He brightens my day.

I used Cosmo Cricket paper, added some detail to the stamped image, such as the zipper on the sweatshirt and two popular logos on the shirt and hat. Just like his favourite clothes!

Both the stamp and sentiment are from The Greeting Farm's set, "My Guy Ian".

I love my son!
