Anyway i realized that the only current SU stamps i have are all sentiments! lol SO guess what? Both cards are going to be word cards! lol

I used my Bring on the Cake stamp set..i like having a new birthday set! Anyway i should have stamped it in olive instead of black..i will do that for the party! ha ha I used my SU photo corner punch to make the banner.

The papers are Whisper white, old olive and the dsp is the free one from Sale-a-bration. I used my SU border punch with some bling on it. I finished it off with some accents from the SAB paper pack with bling in it.

I hope the ladies like it:)

...a rant...

Hey:) I don't usually rant about things on my blog....but i have one for ya today! This rant is about Valentine's Day. I don't like Valentine's Day, i never have and i never will. Why don't i like it? Well its just a Hallmark holiday. When i was in relationships i loved those people everyday, so why should i only tell them that one day? I purposely would work every Valentine's Day so i didn't have to do all the stupid things that came along with the day. I hate flowers, chocolate, and teddy bears. While I am on the topic I would also like to say....yes i am single, no i don't want to ever get married or have kids. I have decided I will never take anyone into my life that isn't going to treat me right, this my friends is why i am single. I will also stay single forever until the right person comes along. I have been the person in the crappy relationship and i did something about it...i got out!! I don't think i am getting old and need to rush to find someone to settle down with, if its happens fine, if it doesn't oh well. I have enough friends and family to get me through:) I have plenty of guy friends i can use as dates at weddings, or functions so that's fine with me! I just wish people would stop asking questions or trying to pressure me to go out and find the right one! Its amazing how people can't understand that I am happy with my life right now, and i am happy with me, so really just leave me alone!! lol

Ok rant over...i feel much better...off to spend Valentine's Day learning Slayer songs. :)

Here is one of my fave Exodus songs....



HUGS!!

Its Sunday which means its a Corrosive Challenge Day:) Today's challenge is a sketch one.

For my card i used a lovely image from our sponsor Sparkle's Creations! This image is way too cute! I coloured her with copics and cut her out with a nestie. I then used a spica glitter pen around the edge.











My papers are PTI white, basic black and the dsp is from my scrap bin. I used some ribbon from my stash as well as some black primas (my fave!!) with some bella dots in the middle. I also used bella dots on the bottom as well:)

...born of the fire...


Hey everyone:) I was asked to make a Mickey card...so searching i went for some Mickey images. I went with the classic Mickey because he is my fave:)

I coloured him with copics and cut him out with nesties. I then went searching for paper..i don't have much red dsp unless its xmas paper. But i did manage to find this piece and some black polka dots to go with it! They were both in my scrap bin!

I finished off the card with some buttons on top of some random red ribbon i found in my stash. The sentiment is from On Your Birthday by SU.

I guess that is it for tonight:)



I am entering this in...

...this must be love cause its really got a hold of me...


It's Thursday, and that is exciting because Thursday means Stamp Insanity day!! You have no idea how excited i am to be on this team! I adore the stamps:)

So i used Lita on my card today, she is darling:) I coloured her with copics and cut her out with a nestie. I then matter her on a half cut nestie. I don't like the sizes of some of these nesties! lol

My papers are PTI white, basic black and the dsp is from my stash. I used my new border punch along the side and some barbed wire ribbon i had in my stash.




Now for the sentiment i had to move it over a bit from the sketch because i didn't want to cover the image. So i made some banners and stamped a sentiment i had lying on the desk (thought it was perfect for the card! lol). I then found a button in my stash and some thread and that is how that played out.

Be sure to head over to the Stamp Insanity Blog and see what the DT is up too!!

Happy Sunday everyone:) I am back and ready to create!! I did my DT commitments first, but i am planning on making a scrapbook of my cruise! I hope it doesn't take me a year to make it! lol

So i coloured my dude (can't remember his name!) with copics and cut him out with a nestie. I then matted him with another nestie, all i did was cut it in half, makes for a cool mat.
