YOU ROCK!

OK so my nephew turned 15 at the beginning of the month. I remember the day he was born, where did all that time go??? He is such a cool kid, and I really had a hard time coming up with a cool, NOT little boy, birthday card. How'd I do???



here is the inside of the card...


Supplies:
Kraft & White Cardstock from Hobby Lobby
DCWV RockStar Mat Stack (skull paper, guitar paper, stripe)
Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Brody Drummer Z Stamp by Just Johanna Odd Bird Planet
You Rock & Star stamps are Love, Elsie by KI Memories
happy birthday by Unity Stamps

I tried to grunge up the inside to make it look very ROCK-like. I hope I was successful, of course even with money in the card I never heard if he liked it or not...oh well that's a 15 year old for ya! LoL!

I would love to hear how you liked this card, or have you become a follower. I spent yesterday afternoon on a "date" with my hubs. That hasn't happened in over a year and a half on a Saturday night. Nice dinner, ran a few errands, riding around with the windows down & having an ice cream cone. That's the life!!! Have a super day!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! (yes I know it is April....)

So I am a little (LOT) late posting these....so I'll just get right to it!


These are two of my swap for my stamping group's Valentine Postcard Swap.


Supplies:
Close to My Heart Cardstock (pink & red both retired colors)
Black CS is DCWV
Basic Grey Bittersweet 6"x6" pad
Cricut Love Struck Seasonal Cartridge (heart)
Distressed Hearts Background by Unity Stamp Company
Sentiment is cut from a piece of paper I got at Hobby Lobby (unknown manufactorer)


















This was our Valentine's surprise when we woke up. Valentine's Day is always a day Keith has to work being in the Restaurant business. So we peeked at our presents, went to church and then he had to go to work. We went to dinner the next night to celebrate. :o)


This was the card I made for Keith.
Supplies:
KI Memories Kiss Me Collection Papers
Trees stamp is by Unity Stamp Company, it was in a kit of the month and the kit is listed as KOM-9 on their site
you + me = happy sentiment from Unity Stamp Company you + me = happy set
Trees were colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS (Odorless Mineral Spirits)

This is part of Keith's present, though I doubt he will use it. Last Spring we had our pictures made for the church directory and I used a wallet sized to make him this sweet little momento.

Supplies are KI Memories Kiss me Paper Collection

I tried a new format with the post today, and am not sure I like it, so we'll see. Thanks for stopping by. NOW GO CREATE SOMETHING!!!

Layouts Galore!!!

Supplies Used:
DCWV Cardstock
KI Memories Patterned Papers
Heidi Swapp & Prima Flowers
MAMBI Bling Paw
Wordsworth Dog Stickers
Oriental Trading Brads
Ink Memento Rich Cocoa
KI Memories Alpha Stamps
Worn Grid Background Stamp by Unity Stamp Co.


You will notice a lot of my papers or supplies are not the NEWEST trends, but they are from my stash and I intend to use them - I LIKE THEM! But I have tried to find different ways of using these items. I have found I really like layering the KI Memories tags that were sold in sheets. I have TONS (from being assistant manager at the scrapbook store years ago.) And you will see another page posted this week using this again. WOOHOO!
Supplies Used:
DCWV Cardstock
KI Memories Patterned Papers and Tags
American Crafts Letter Stickers
Liquid Glass (over letter stickers)
Colorbok journaling Tag Pad



Ok I know this one is WILD! But I actually like how it turned out. I dug into all my chipboard letters and played around! These pages were all done on the same day at a crop and you will see I was really enjoying my liquid glass adhesive that day! LOL!
Supplies:
DCWV Cardstock & Patterned paper
Chipboard Letters: Target $ Spot, Oriental Trader, Little Davis
Unity Stamp Co. Just Polka Dots Background Stamp
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Liquid Glass used in centers of letters, and to cover a few flowers on patterned paper (not really showing up in photo - sorry!)

It is my GOAL to get caught up on my scrapbooking, and trying to use my stash up as well. I have a couple of more pages to share this week, but they are going to get posts of their very own since they have a couple of things I want to highlight.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and blessings for your week! NOW GO CREATE SOMETHING!!!
