Unforgettable

Happy Birthday to my boyfriend! He is eight months younger than I, and we like to joke about my maturity. :)

I adore the Storybook 1 die from Pretty Pink Posh. It gives cards such life. I can't wait to see Storybook 2!

It is fun to think of what to put into the three panels. The elephant and the balloon were easy peasy. For the sky panel, I suppose birds would have made sense, but I wanted to add party hats instead: one for me and one for my boyfriend.

This is my first time using Wplus9 stamps. The elephant was perfect on my first try. I'll be checking them out from now on. :)

Puppies in costume

This Halloween card is for my boyfriend. He happens to be a dog person, and I happen to be a cat person. Soooo ... I *had* to dress up one of the dogs like a cat, of course! For the pirate puppy, I had no choice but to put the pirate hook on his tail, because he wouldn't be able to walk with it on one of his paws! Now, I do realize that these are stamped images, not actual dogs, but I couldn't help but be practical. :)

I used Lawn Fawn's Pumpkin Spice dye ink to add color to the Stitched Label die cut and the Pretty Pink Posh Twine and Bows die cut. The "twine" on the card looks like a cool orange spider web.

Booyah!

It's never too early to start your holiday cards, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I also have a rule for myself that I can't make Christmas cards until I make Thanksgiving cards, which I can't make until I make Halloween cards. :)

This card is for my brother and his girlfriend. Now, one thing I don't understand about this pair of ghosts ... She is the "Bride of Frankenstein," but the boy ghost isn't Frankenstein. He is Frankenstein's monster, so the girl ghost is married to Dr. Frankenstein? Naughty girl!

Anyhoo, I used Distress Inks, my favorite medium for watercoloring, for the background. I really like how it turned out! The ghosts are so adorable, and I am quite glad that I bought this stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn. It is like playing with paper dolls, except that I didn't have Wink of Stella when I was a kid. Doesn't his hair look lovely?

Hmmm. Is it too early to actually it mail it out? Nah, why not have them enjoy it?

Birthday banner

I made a simple birthday banner for my mom, and I thought I would add a post about it. I rarely make anything aside from cards. I think the banner turned out really cute. It reads, "We ♥ Mom."

I love how well the color of Lawn Fawn's orchid cord matches the Pure Plum card stock from My Favorite Things.

The Louie's ABCs die cuts fit perfectly on Party Balloons. Lawn Fawn products always work so well together!
