Stampin' Up! Sock Monkey Birthday Card

I made this card for my youngest son's birthday.  Ok he is not kid age, but 24 years old on Tuesday.  LOL  I printed the poem about "you look like a monkey and smell like one too" on the inside.  LOL  He will get a laugh.  I put his name on the balloons with a Stampin' Up! Black marker. 

I used markers on Stampin' Up!'s watercolor paper and used the aqua painter to color in the monkey and balloons.  I used Dusty Durango, Old Olive and Night of Navy colors for a challenge on Stampin' Connection, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only website.  I made the birthday card for a challenge on a wonderful group of stampers called LNStampers. I also used Technostampers sketch challenge for this card.  How great it feels to make three challenges in one card!  Hope you enjoy it!

Have a wonderful day!

Froggy Baby Boy Onesie

My stepsister asked me to make some baby shower invitations.  This is a sample of what I came up with. The shower decorations are frogs and dragonflies.  I might make a dragonfly for the inside.The colors are Taken with Teal and Green Galore.  The frog is a smaller version of one I made here.  I scored the front of the cardstock with lines to give it some dimension.  I used Stampin' Up's wonderful punches to make this card.

I found these wonderful directions for the baby onesie card here on Becky Jensen.  I think this turned out so cute!  Hope she does too!

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Fling Stamp Camp

I am sharing a group shot of the projects we will be making at my upcoming Sping Fling Stamp Camp on March 27, 2010.  I am going to show you some different uses for the Ornament punch which is still available for purchase.  I have included a list below of the products still available for order from the Holiday mini.
We will be spraying the two of the cards with a Shimmer Paint and alcohol mixture.  In real life it shimmers so much, but it doesn't photograph well.  You should be able to click on the photo to see a larger image.  If you want to sign up, please contact me or leave a comment on this post.  I am located in Kings Mountain, NC.

Hope you have a great weekend and remember to turn your clocks forward one hour tonight!  Spring Forward.

Inspiration for these projects came from several talented people.  The fish card is a mostly cased card, but I do not have the link here with me in NC.  It is in SC.  So sorry for that. If this is your card, please comment and I will link it. 
The bunny basket was inspired by Mary Director's card at KreatesKards.
The Butterfly card was a cased layout from this card by LeeAnn Greff.
The Vase card was inspired by a card by Sharon Field, but I couldn't find it on her blog.
