Kickstand Birthday Card

I found directions to make a "Kickstand Card" at Kirsten's blog: Confessions of a Naptime Stamper. The card is also a sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I am not adding my card to the gallery there because I basically used Kirststen's idea and just changed it a little and I don't think they or she would want that there. I needed to make a birthday card and the one she had on her blog fit the bill. I had some bright paper on hand (from American Craft) that would be great as a birthday card. I thought the candle was a cute idea so I added it to my card as well. A very easy card, I can see why she likes to make them. I made some extras to have on hand. The birthday stamp is from Stampin Up! But I could not find the box with the name. The inside stamp is from a grab bag of unmounted stamps I got almost 8 years ago - The kind of purple-ish paper that I used to mat the circle paper is really blue but when I took the photo it came out purple and no amount correcting it on Adobe would get it blue. Grrr.

Interesting!

More Heritage Pages

Here are two more pages of my Mom. I have one more page to go but ran out of time today. The colors are a little off in the photo. The red paper and the red in the circles is actually a pinkish burgundy and matches the ribbon much better IRL than it does in the photo!

My Mom tells me that the Santa was a younger Santa and liked the ladies to come sit on his lap! It's a little wierd to see her being silly.

Split Coast Stampers Challenge SBSC122

I found this challenge on Splitcoaststampers it is challenge SBSC122. I couldn't put a title on it because the page turned out to be much busier than I planned on. There was really nothing to journal and I am not real big on journaling anyway so I left that part off too. I have no idea who made the paper (I got it at Walmart), the flowers are Prima's. I had the buttons on hand.

What Was I Thinking???

I made some Thank you cards this week. After I was done, I took a good look at them - awful! I used the Thank You Cuttlebug folder on plain white cardstock then I chalked over the image. I came to the conclusion that if someone took the time to give me or my family a nice gift then the least I could do is take the time to make a "nice" card. So, here is a sample of the first card. Pretty sloppy card making.

And here is the one I made today (actually I made 10!) It looks so much better. I found the basic design on Split coast Stampers but I can't remember who actually made it first or I would give them credit. I used SU Perfect Plum cardstock, the flower paper is DCWV Posies Glitter - Petite Purple Posie, the stripe paper is Deja Views - Plum stripe. I got both at Michael's. The ribbon is from American Craft and the word stamp is from SU - Love Blooms and the Cat stamp is a Fluffles from Stampendous
