You're How Old?

Hello Oskar!  There are SO MANY sentiments and ways in which to use dear old Oskar by Mo Manning.  I used a sentiment from Create with TLC on the front and then just typed & printed a funny quote for the inside.  I always save funny cards that people give me in case I want to use the wording myself later.

Since this is a masculine card... I couldn't add anything in the way of cutzie, pink, lacy or pearly... I propped up both center portions to give it a bit of dimension:

And here's the inside:

This card is for my brother-in-law, who is only in his early 40's (and younger then me!) but I love to tease him every chance I get.  Why not, right?!  LOL

Nothing

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart."

Love this quote - picked up the free digi from Create with TLC.  Paper is MME Dilly Dally and the cool fence border was made using Becca Feeken's tutorial for linear punches. 

Love this paper... going to be a few more cards coming with this... he,he.

Well I've got a banana bread in the oven, laundry in the wash and supper on the stove.  Off to see my nieces in a couple of hours... wish the weather was nicer; they love the park.

Toodles........

Breathe Deep

Love this pretty quote (digi) from Create with TLC.  This card was a chance to use my new Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders and also the new Edgeabilities "Classic Decorative Inserts One". 

Image is stamped an MFT set, "Spring" and the flourish die cut is also from My Favorite Things.  I finished the inside and stamped the bird with Close to Cocoa, stamping first on scrap to get rid of the excess ink and then again on the white cardstock.

With today off to make a long weekend, you'd think I would have made more cards then just this one... but I've been on an organizing-spring-clean in my condo and today with the beautiful weather it was so nice to have all the windows open and the sun shining in... even gave me more energy!

Fluttering By...

Love this adoreable silloutte stamp from Stamping Bella (Jane Girl... by Jane Davenport).  I paired her off with this beautiful Prima paper (Flights of Fancy Collection) I had... then proceeded to cover it all up.  lol

I used Spellbinder & MFT dies with Martha Stewart punches.  I embellished with piped nylon ribbon & velvet ribbon with adhesive pearls... and the sentiment on the inside is once again from Create with TLC (yes, another freebie!).

Well I'm about to flutter out to the television because Batchelor is about to start and I'm secretly hoping that Courtney has got her bags packed.... lol

Night all.

A Good Friend

Love love love making friendship cards so this image from Mo Manning was a must have for me.  Nobody understands like a good friend, right?

I dug into my new batch of Pebbles paper - love the texture of this stuff (the pink strip is from my stash).  I used Spellbinder & MFT dies & a couple of Martha punches for the leaves.  As always, coloured with my Copics. 

The sentiment on the inside is a FREE digi from Create with TLC. Their digi stamps are AMAZING!  All the sentiments are in gorgeous fonts and I thought this one especially matched up nicely with the Mo Manning image.  Unfortunately I didn't leave room on the front for it - lol - but I like it on the inside too.

Well that's it for me.  It's Friday night and it's pj's & tv time!  Yup - party girl - that's me!  Not... lol.  Love weekends though... hope you are enjoying yours.
