Hi Again!
I have another card to show you today (I had to run home first). I was lagging behind my crew today. Sandra, Mary and I have started a card kit challenge. Last month Mary sent us a kit and we all posted our cards on the same day, which showcased the same image, paper and embellishments. Well, it's round two and this month was my kit. It was so fun to gather elements to send to my girlies...so much fun I had to stop myself from going overboard! Anyway, here is my little pixie, Heidi and you can find her at All that Scraps. The only thing you can't see very well from my (home) pic is that the wings are covered in Spica and very sparkly. Thanks for joining the 3 of us today and look for us to join forces again the first week of next month!
If you'd like to play along with Mojo Monday 98 too, check it out here! Have fun!

Birthdays are Super!

Good Morning!
This weekend was super fun. We went to the movies, then I spent Saturday hangin at the Anyaversary and making cards, and then yesterday we had a great day too with a really great church service.
Today's card is one that I made for Saturday's speed challenge using the generous gift that TGF bestowed on everyone...free digi Birthday Boy Ian! How cool was that? I still have a little bit of trouble sizing my digis but I'm learning...could use more tips though on how to do it without photoshop.
I'll be back later today to post my card for Mary, Sandra and my card kit challenge!

Birds of a Feather

Okay, I think it's safe to say that Cosmo Cricket paper is my new thing. LOL. This is my third card in a row using this fab paper. AND today's pattern is appropriately named Early Bird. I designed this card for this month's Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards theme--Come Fly With Me--hosted by the lovely Susan. Just to fair warn though, the swap cards will be ever so slightly simplified, just because I do all my stitching by hand and 5 more of these might put me in the mad house. :) I'm really pleased with how the layout on this one turned it. Sometimes it's hard to execute a vision in ones head, but I played with this one a bit and in the end it's pretty much what I'd been hoping for. I would love to find out if there's a tool out there that will round off the top of my cards if I choose to do this layout again. It was a bit of a bugger to get my fiskars circle cutter just the right circumference and then not to go too far past the center line. Okay, enough about that. Hope you all have a superb Wednesday...halfway to the weekend!
Oh and I would LOVE for you to join my TGF card swap! If you have a moment check it out!! Thanks!

I Like You

Helloooooooo!
I was totally looking for a stamp that said "I like you" for this card because I figured our little Edward here was trying to get up the nerve to ask Annika to go see the new Harry Potter movie or something. But then I discovered I could combine a couple of the sentiments from Pretty Hat...so instead, Edward is approaching Annika, hands in pocket, a little nervous and in a shy voice proclaiming "you're pretty." Ahhhhhh school days and crushes!! Hope you like this card. Eventually Annika will have a jewel on her barrett, but alas, I noticed this morning that I forgot it! Derrrrr.
Have a great day!

Up, Up and Away!

Hello Friends!
I'm sorry that my posts have dwindled a bit. I really meant to show you this card on Friday but I just wasn't satisfied and needed to "tweak" a few things. So without futher adieu, here it is to start off a new week. For this card I used the TGF hot air balloon stamp again (my new fave!!) from the Fly Away set and the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird paper. I also cased this layout from the amazingly talented Debbie Olson. If you have a moment go check out her blog. Her talent is INcredible and extremely inspirational! I'm hoping that each of us has a Fantastic week! Thanks for popping in!
Oh! And how could I forget!?! If you're interested in joining a card swap using The Greeting Farm Stamps, there is one going on at SCS!! Please Join US!
