Ink It Pink Challenge #1

I'm so excited to start entering into challenges again!! Here's my take on the "use words for background" challenge, and since Father's Day is right around the corner... well, two birds with one stone, you know.

The fathers in my life LOVE candy, so this jelly bean one is for my dad:

And the gummy bears are for my husband (shhh, don't tell!):

Along with the cards, I'll include a real bag of goodies.

I had so much fun inking up the cute, little candies!

Catching Up

Phew! It's been a long time since posting a creation. I've been reeling from the recent departure of my fellow crafter, but I've stamped up a few cards in her absence and figured I'd better get them on here. They're mostly birthday cards, as I've been working on my goal of getting one to everyone this year.

Here we have some boy birthday cards. Hopefully they were "manly" enough!

And some girly ones:

This sentiment about growing old is my fav:

I loved making Mother's Day cards:

As well as a baby card for a shower:

And of course, you can't have enough silly, confection-loving, monster cards!

Unicorn Poop

I know this is not a "stampin" post, but it is a creation our Dad found and requested Adrienne and I make... so, without further ado here it is:

UNICORN POOP!

 We told the lady at the bakery supply store about the purpose of our visit in getting 'disco dust' and she was so excited and asked us to bring in one of our creations for display... As she had never heard about unicorn poop before, I told her to Google it.  When we brought in this little beauty she told us she had been telling everyone about it and another lady had decided to make some of her own also.  She put our creation in the focal point of all the other displays she had.  It looked so awesome!

For our display we even used edible grass.  Now for some reason I feel like I should be prancing around the neighborhood leaving these cuties on every one's doorstep, but I have more important things to do right now.  But, can you imagine opening your front door to this?  I would just die!

While we had our happy cookie dough going we decided it would be super cute to make a plain rainbow version:

I love it!

Here's to hoping spring is coming soon, and Happy Hunting... for unicorns and their pretty poop.

Thanks "Snow" Much

Did you know that you can "print" with the Cameo??!? Just replace the blade with a ball point pen! We tried it out on the sentiment for these winter, thank-you cards, and it came out pretty awesome.

Valentine's Day

This year I made valentines for my Mom to send to her grand-kids (aka: my nieces and nephews).  I had so much fun making these, and it was great to have Adrienne's help too.  I think love is one of my favorite subjects for making cards, which is unfortunate since my love life is non-existent... But that's okay because there are still a lot of people who love me, and I love them!  I made two cards for nieces and three for nephews. I have a few more nieces, but they aren't really old enough to care yet... so in the coming years I will be making more (not to mention my hopes to make one for a certain "special someone" someday).

So, here are the girls':

The big heart is my Mom aka Grammie and the little heart is Greta

Inside it says: " I love you bunches" for Zelda

And here are the boys':

For Ben

Grammie and Jack

Inside it says: "Means 'I Love You' in Dinosaur" for John

And here are a couple extras:

The Love Bot

I LOVE this guy.

He's so perfect for Valentine's day!

I'm using him for an anniversary card, but thought it was an appropriate post for this holiday of love!

Spring

I realize it is not spring yet, but the weather hasn't been extremely wintry either.  I seem to keep making springy sunshiny cards.  I had so much fun making them!
