Busy busy!!

I had a little procedure today at the doctor's office so I took the rest of the day off to recuperate and properly medicate myself so I would feel no pain as I am a huge wimp~ part of my "therapy" was to make some cards.

This little sweetie (Cupcake Anya) is for my niece Emily's daughter Leah's first birthday. I just love this image - it is perfect for birthdays!! I used some of that fun Washi tape from The Greeting Farm - this is from the Brown Coffert collection. LOVE IT!! So versatile and fun to play with!

This is Summer from The Greeting Farm (yes I almost have all of them!!). I made this card for my sister in law, Kathleen's birthday. The bow isn't really as crooked as it looks in this picture.

I popped Summer up off the card with some pop dots - the square button is from Stampin' Up! I backed it with some glittery paper.....I plan on entering this card in the Monday Mania challenge over on Club Anya.

Don't Look Jen!

This card is for my NSSS JennyK's May package that will be mailed out tomorrow....just a tad late... I used the TGF stamp - Ebony - and paper from the new DCWV summer stack, card candy and the stitching is with my Pixie sewing machine. I glittered her skull and hairband -

a close up of the stitching....a hint for those of you that may want to try sewing directly on your paper - adhere the paper where you will NOT be stitching - this works for 2 reasons - the adhesive will gunk up the needle and it will hold the paper where you want it.

Meet Thursday

Meet Thursday! Isn't she cute? She is one of the newest stamps I have gifted myself from The Greeting Farm which is my absolute favorite new place for stamps.
I made this card for my niece Madison's 8th birthday (8 going on 22)....I even customized it by hand drawing the star on Thursday's top! The pp is DCVW newest summer stack - I used Nesties and some random ribbon along with the card candy that I found on EBay.

Here is a close up of the coloring - I really need to watch some Copic videos but at this point I only own 4 Copics so ...no rush yet!

Gigi

Here is Gigi - a super sweet stamp from The Greeting Farm. My friend Rachel turned me on to these adorable characters.
I honestly do not know the manufacturer of any of the printed papers- there all came out of my scrap stash.
The "friend" stamp is from SU!, a set that I got years ago during Sale-a-bration.
I used my Pixie sewing machine that Chuck bought me for last Christmas; as you can see, I can not sew a straight line.
I used the Cuttlebug for the solid blue scrap; the Swiss Dots folder is one of my favorites.
I also used some of the card candy that I got off E Bay for the corners and the center of the flower on her headband.
Gigi was colored with a combination of SU!, Bic and Sharpie markers.
I think she turned out pretty cute!!
