A very merry unbirthday!

It's my sisters birthday! 

Yeah!

I created this whimsical card using a digi from Alicia

And a sketch from creative inspirations.

I love love love that metal clock...

Best part is that it's a sticker on the back! Perfect! 

Here's a close up of Alice.

Hope you enjoy!

Winter birthday!

Ahhhh are all your stockings hung?? I guess the real question is are they filled??

As in did you get all your Christmas shopping done??  

I still have at least one present to buy, and a little bit of wrapping to do!

But I had enough time to throw together this cute card!

My girlfriend in Florida's birthday is at the very beginning of January,

and I though I've gotta do something that has no hit of the holidays. 

I'm hoping I succeeded??

The image is of course from Saturated Canary, and I colored her up using a mix of 

Copic, Prismacolor, and Spectrum Noir markers.

I also used the markers to color up those cute cupcakes!

Here's her close up!

 

That paper behind her is really more gray, but appears pink in this pic!

Happy birthday April!

Last night while perusing some of my favorite blogs I came across a new (to me) digi stamp

company called The Ocotpode Factory, you can find

these fabulous stamps here.

I was so inspired that I snatched up a couple and got to playing!

I am entering this fun birthday card into their challenge

which is "Words" you can find that challenge here

I am also super excited about the Hard Core Crop that's being sponsored by co'ordinations 

you can find all the Crop challenges here.

This card is being entered in the Recipe challenge being hosted by Andrea

at I'm livin on scraps

her recipe is akin to chocolate chips cookies,

(from her posting)

BROWN SUGAR - Page must contain some type of Core'dinations Kraft or Kraft Core (Tim Holtz collection) cardstock, OR you may use any color of Brown Core'dinations cardstock that you may have on hand!   (I used the kraft core)SUGAR - Page must contain some type of Glitter, Embossing powder or Bling.  (I embossed the sentiment, and I then sprayed it with sparkly mist!)

CHOCOLATE CHIPS - Page must contain Polka Dot embossing, (either Tillie or Jillian Spotted Core or Core cardstock that is embossed with a dotted folder).  (I embossed a scrap piece of core paper and then I distressed it!)

CHOPPED WALNUTS - Page must contain some "distressing technique".  (well it didn't show up very well, but I distressed the edges of the kraft paper, and I also added distressing to the raised embossing on the heart and the polk a dots!)

Here is my close up of this fabulous digi! 

I wanna send a shout out to my good friend April, it's her birthday!
