Many Thanks

I've been making some thank you cards lately and this is one of my faves so far! It uses my very favorite paper in the whole world, Sweet Always.  This stuff almost makes me pass out from excitement, lol!  The "thanks" is from a stamp set by Stampendous that I got last year.  I love it because it works perfectly with my fave technique - Paper Piecing! (Lots of faves in this one, huh?)

   

Okay, gotta go! Biggest Loser is on in a few minutes and it's the one time during the week that I actually get on my treadmill, haha! Lots of motivation in that show!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday, Cupcake!

This is another card from the Hey There, Cupcake set from Stampendous.  I L-O-V-E it!  It's such a fun set and don't we always need birthday cards?  These are the same colors and paper from the last set of cupcake cards that I made.  I do that a lot, make several different cards using the same supplies while they're all out.  And see that ribbon?  I did a little tricksy and glued green ribbon onto the brown to make my own custom ribbon! Suh-weet!

When I showed my DH this card, he was like, "hhmm, it's different all right."  So apparently this is different for me.  :)

In non-card news, I got my braces off!!!!  It's about freakin' time, let me tell you! I've had them on for 3.5 years, hello!!!  Veneers are the next step so in a few weeks, I'm gonna have one gorgeous smile! :)

Hey there, cupcake.

Suh-weet!!!!  My "Hey There, Cupcake" set finally came!! Yipee!!  Now, I realize that cupcakes are very trendy these days and everyone loves them, but they've been my favorite desert forever.  Seriously.  I had them at my baby shower 6 years ago waaaaaaaay before they were so popular.  That actually happens to me a lot - I'll love something for years and years and then it becomes really trendy.  Annoying.  Anyway, enough of my ranting, back to your regular programming, lol! I adore this set! It's soooo stinkin' cute!  It's made by Stampendous and available only through eclectic Paperie through the month of May so you better get your little hiney on over there if you want it! :)  These are 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" cards and I made the scallop using my Nestabilities.  It's hard to tell in the pics but I added glitter to all of the white polka-dots.  Yeah, that took awhile.   Yum-O!

Stripey birthday

  This card is the same layout as the Merry Christmas one using the Mega Merry set (scroll down to see it) only I used Mega Happy instead.  I LOOOOOOVVVEEE these new sets because they're perfect for paper piecing which is one of my favorite techniques.  This card would be great for a guy and has endless possiblities, depending on the paper that you use.
