Cute little octopus

Pink, pink, pink. I made this card for one of my sisters using tons of shades of pink. :) The octopus is so cute, especially with the little bow. I also used a new die from Pretty Pink Posh, coloring the outside frame.

To make the octopus even more girly, I added eyelashes with a black gel pen.

White detailing gives her more texture. I can't get over how cute she is. :)

Sweet valentine

I love mixing products from several stamping companies. Each card I make is truly unique. :)

This valentine is for one of my girlfriends. The patterned paper that I used as the background reminds me of yummy candy. Along with the gumball machine, it inspired me to choose the sentiments that I did.

I would love a gumball machine with just pinks and reds. So pretty and fun!

A bushel and a peck

I finished my Thanksgiving cards! This last one is for my mom. I used super nontraditional colors because I can. :)

My mom used to sing to me a lot when I was little. "I love you a bushel and peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, a hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap, a barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep about you." When I saw this sentiment in MFT's Harvest Mouse stamp set, I knew I had to use it on a card for her.
