Sparkly Eyes! - Guest stamper Andrea Enns

Happy Birthday to my nephew Gavin!!!!  He is 7 years-old today!  Our family lovingly calls him sparkly eyes.  He doesn't like it so much though. lol  Here is a card my sister Andrea lovingly made for the sponge Bob fan.

Check out the details!  Punch art, inking, embossing, etc.  My nephew couldn't wait to open his card this morning and he totally loved it!  Add some baseball cards and you have one happy kid! 

Stay tuned for some more awesome cards Andrea has been making.  I will be posting them for her as she has been so busy with end-of-school year teaching, baseball tournaments, and two back-to-back children's birthday parties.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there!  Here is a picture of my two favorite mom's:  my mother and sister!  We had fun at tea together.


Here is a look at a gift I made my sister.  Check out the cute plants my mother gave my sister and I.  Little Owl tea cup planters??? Yes, please!

 It's hard to see with the planters but they are owl cups.  Hee hee!


 Hope you have a special day!

This is a card for a co-worker that is a little late as she had surgery and is back to work.  However, she is on modified duty and doing another job.  We hope she feels better soon and hope this card with bright colors cheers her.  The DSP is so yummy and will be available June 1st in the new catalog.  How about the gingham?  LOVE it!

Superkid YMCA!

The YMCA gave us a questionnaire to fill out and asked us to add a picture of our superkid!  Devan didn't want to do any normal picture!  It had to have funny faces.  I added some extra little silly stuff because I knew Dev would love it.  Check it out!





I used MDS for the photo strip and added some embellishments. 



Add googly eyes and a stamped mustache, yes please!  I showed Dev the end result, and he totally cracked up!  Here is some interesting facts about Devan:

Devan's favorite food- spaghetti, drink- lemonade, dessert- popsicle

Devan's favorite color is blue.

Devan's favorite thing to do at the YMCA is coloring ( I know because he brings home so much artwork for us to hang on our fridge!)

Devan likes to watch shows about Disneyland- especially the one about the Disney cruise line.

The YMCA has 4 core values Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Caring.  His favorite core value is Honesty.

Dream what you want to dream...

 A little gumball green with the hexagon emboss folder.  Sand it a little and the distressed parts add so much texture.  Add a few embellishments and I think it is a good guy card for a graduation.  My co-worker is order a few cards for grads and teachers.  Stay tuned for more cards...

Sending sympathy and prayers...

This card I made just because I don't have enough sympathy cards at work to sell.  I love primrose petals!  I took pieces of leftover stuff I had and came up with this: a simple card.


The Stippled Blossom stamp set has been sitting in my stash virtually unused.  I really like it for this card.

Anyway, as usual I am late for work...gotta go!

Happy Father's Day!

Does it seem a little early for a father's day card?  Probably...but I couldn't resist this card that I saw on Heather Summers blog.  It had little mustaches stamped on the polka dots and made me totally smile.  I love mustaches!!!

Here is my card:



You have to check out the inspiration for this card at Heather's blog here.  I had to change the paper up a bit, but the end result was still very fun.






Cute right??? Those little mustaches from 'A fitting occasion' stamp set.  They make me laugh.  My dad has a mustache and my husband too.  I think this would be a great card to give to one of them.  Who do you think should get it?  My hubby or my dad?
