Birthday Cars Card

I have been busy as a bee. New schedule, puppy and life in general. I think I got a good schedule to help me stay organized and use my time wisely. It has been a bit since I have posted but I still have been creating like crazy. Lots of fun things to share with the world. :)

Here are two cards I made with a boy/guy related theme. If you're like me this is the hardest theme to make for cards. Girl cards are easy butterfly or flowers or a cute animal. Boys on the other hand not so much. I love this car stamp from Inque Boutique, I had some trouble figuring out out to incorporate it on the card, so I decided to make it a background. I used Versamark ink and stamped it all over the cardstock! I did the same thing with the Happy stamp. I only have one circle punch (Shocker I know!) so I used that to create a peek a boo for the happy. I adore these puffies from Ki Memories they added just what I need to complete the card.

I am trying something new when I go to create a card. I am making a second one at the same time. That way if I am ever in a crunch, I have a little stack to go and snag a card. ;)

CS: Prism. Stamps: Inque Boutique (Car) & Unknown (Happy). Ink: Versamark. Embellishments: Ki Memories. Circle Punch: Fiskars.

You Make It Challenge

Oppies this saved as a draft instead of posting ... im so sorry :P 

YAY its February already! I can't believe how fast the year is going by already. Well this month besides the fabulous sketch-a-thon that is going on at My Sketch World, I get to host a challenge (yay again).  So my challenge is called "you make it". Have you ever had a moment where you are at a scrappy store and you see something really cute and go "ohh I can make that", well now is your chance!

Ok the details ... scallop paper is from Bazzill (medium square green tea). scrunched fabric, is actually book binding tape from Making Memories, its an oldie but goodie! They also make the pins that are the flag post and some of the brads. Some of the knick knacks on the edge of the frame are just from my treasure chest in my art room, including the real lacoste shirt label :) The little green luggage is from Junkitz. The little glitter letters are from Creative Imaginations. The big foam letters are from American Crafts, who doesn't love thickers! Bo Bunny found its way to the page too, its the photo mat (:

Flags/Pendants ... so I'm thinking of posting a video and a template so you all can make your own ... what do you think? HINT: if your going to scraplift this page, I cut a line closer to the bottom and put the flagpole (pins) in there, so they are actually behind the layout, I also tucked in the patterened paper, this is a good trip so you don't have to worry about hiding or covering up the ends of the flagpoles :)
