Lettuce Celebrate

First off let me apologize for the horrible picture. I had to get this in the mail so that it would reach my daughter in time for her New Year's Day birthday. I was ready to stuff it in the envelope and then remembered I needed a photo. Best I could do was a quick one with my phone.
I love this card. Simple but the heads of lettuce are so cute. I thought there was a little too much space on the brown base so I added the blue ric rac and love the end result--just a little pop of color.

Taco 'bout it

Yep, another one from Paper Smooches. I love the taco and the bright paper just sets it off. Easy Peasy!

Happy Bird Day!

This is another set from Paper Smooches called Birthday Buddies. I colored her with bright pink to match the papers and then added a big pink bow to finish it off.

Roll With It

The Calorie Free stamp set from Paper Smooches has to be one of my favorites. I also bought the dies that go with it. Makes stamping and cutting a breeze! I love the puny sentiments and the images are a cinch to color.

What a week

I was so glad to get in my stamp room this weekend. The flu stormed through our house last week and between taking care of a sick husband and child and then getting a terrible cold myself I didn't know if it was going to happen this weekend or not. After trying three different pharmacies my hubby finally scored some Sudafed and I am feeling darn near one hundred percent!
On to my card today. The layout is Deconstructed Sketch 85. I really like this one. I used one of my new stamps from Paper Smooches called Cuteasaurus! Dinosaurs are still really popular with kids, especially my teenage daughter! I colored the little dino with copics and then layered the image onto a red square swatch (spellbinders). I found the patterned paper in a pile of scraps. I wish I knew the manufacturer. I stamped the sentiment on green cardstock cut with a MFT bracket die.
Hopefully this week will be much better and I will get more time in my stamp room.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

S'Up Grill-Friend

This has got to be one of my favorite stamp sets this year! They are from the Alfresco set from Paper Smooches.  You'll be seeing more of this set soon. I had never heard of Paper Smooches until I saw some of the Alfresco stamps on a blog. Instantly I knew they had to be mine. I have made two different cards with the S'Up Grill-Friend sentiment. The first one using patterned paper from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh pad. I inked the edges and then added the flag of patterned paper and the sentiment. I finished it with the gorgeous hamburger.

The second card was made with the same stamps, but instead of the picnicky red and white checks I used black, white and red. I added some spica glitter to the smoke and grill. The ribbon and black brad are from my stash.
