How Sweet It Is

When My Favorite Things first came onto the stamping scene, I have to admit I was a little creeped out by the headless images. I got two images of this stamp from the How Sweet It Is set in that image swap I participated, and I really enjoyed making this card. I've also come to love MFT and their headless beauties. I think their new Bunny Slippers set is AWESOME. I just love it. Someday it will be mine, and knowing me it won't come home alone!

So what do you think of this card? I loved it all the way up to the point where I tried to figure out what to do with that big green background. I should have stopped before trying the quilting effect (though I think that would be super cute on a baby card!). I dunno - maybe it works. What do you think? My original intent was to send this to my not-so-secret-stampin'-sister, but I think I can do better for her.

Stamps: How Sweet It Is (My Favorite Things), Stipple Plaid (Stampin' Up!)

Before I let you go for the day, be sure to head over to Sweet n' Sassy Stamps. Korin (the owner) is doing a fundraiser through her site to help the family of her neice, Janessa. It's an easy way to do something nice for someone while still getting fun stuff in return. Order yourself Olivia the Owl (among other things, of course), and I'll show you a fun (yet slightly twisted ;o) ) way to use her in a few days. hee hee. Stay tuned! She also has a super cute Knight in Shining Armor set for any of you with little boys (at heart or in age ;o) )!

More Birthday Cards

Sunday was my 32nd birthday. Seriously, how is that possible? Is it just me, or does it seem like we just graduated high school yesterday to everyone? It's amazing how fast the years fly by.

Yesterday the mailman brought me more happy mail, so I wanted to share. First we have this super cute "Happy Bird-day" card from my friend Merry (SCS: Merrymoo2). I am on a major bold brights kick lately, so the colors are perfect, and I *LOVE* that DP. The base of the card and of the main image is SU shimmer paper. Very nice!




And here we have a card from my slightly more twisted (in a totally good way!) friend Noelle (SCS: Jocelyn1224). Isn't that sentiment hilarious? I was literally ROFL when I opened it. (Edited to add: I later found out the sentiment is from the Twisted Sentiments set by My Favorite Things. I love it!) The leafy paper has a velvet-y texture too it, and the gifts/pants on the bella are all paper pieced with DP. It's gorgeous! She really outdid herself with this one!

Thanks for thinking of me girls! I appreciate it!
