Sadie Day....

This past Saturday my Cousin became a proud parent for the first time... They named her Sadie Day. I had to make a card just for the occasion and I think this says it all....



This was fairly easy to put together and I had a blast making it. I used last years SAB on the envelope and then added this years Congrats SAB set on the inside of the card. Along with stampin up sets I had to grab my Justrite stamp set Harmony Classic Circle III Stamp Ensemble 3-1/4.... however I did alittle adjusting to it.
Instead of letting the words just because being the sentiment I took a congrats stamp I had and placed it where Just because would have been.... I also embossed the butterflies with silver embossing powder and the painted them with some of my shimmerz paints.

Hope you all are having a great start for your week... I'm off to go play...

Late Inspiration...

It's late inspiration for me tonight... I've had the idea in my head to play with one of my Justrite stamps and combine it with one of my beautiful Whiff of Joy stamps. It took me stamping both images separately to knock out this beautiful holiday card...



I colored both images with my copics and still had problems knocking this design out... There are three attempts on the desk and boy do they look bad. but after grabbing a few scraps laying around on my desk it came together. I even added a few other stamp companies to the mix... I got my hands on Inkadinkado's Winter bird set and loved the idea of the birds flying out of the lamp as a watermark type image... and the sentiment came from one of my Papertrey Ink stamp sets.


There is so much in this card and it is one of my favorites now and I think I'll make a few more to send out this year... Well I'm off for the night I hope you all are ready for the weekend.
