And sharingContinue reading “Have A Blast – To Space & Beyond”

Along These Lines – Happy Birthday

Welcome back!  It’s the Thursday edition… I started with the Alphabet (Letter C) for Circles and the Crafter’s Café (#219) Twist – No Squares.

Next,Continue reading “Along These Lines – Happy Birthday”

Bike Ride – Fun on Wheels

Happy Sunday!  Over at Festive Friday (#159), the team is celebrating Brother’s Day with a fun list of elements to choose from.  Easier to say what I didn’t choose than what I did for this card.

A No Bones About It Dinosaur Birthday

Welcome back!  So happy you joined me. Over at Cupcake Inspirations (#588), the theme is Dinosaurs.  I had to borrow the retired stamp set, No Bones About It, from a friend as I do not have anything in my collection that would suit.  Over at Seize The Birthday (#278), the focus is the color Red. Continue reading “A No Bones About It Dinosaur Birthday”

Christmas Elf – No Peeking

Welcome back!  It’s Tuesday…Design Team Day… For the Cardz 4 Guyz (#337) theme this week, Christmas Elves or Gnomes, I am at a bit of a disadvantage.  I don’t own any stamp sets with either creature. A perusal of Pinterest yielded several ideas, and I selected a few images for inspiration and hand drew myContinue reading “Christmas Elf – No Peeking”
