Manly Birthday Card

This card was so quick and simple to make!  I actually modeled it after a pair of swimming trunks of my husby's.  I loved the color combo and thought it would make a great card for a man (something I frequently struggle with).  The paper is all SU! paper.  I used versamark and white embossing powder for the happy birthday sentiment (don't know the stamp maker).  I embellished with a piece of ribbon and 3 blue Jolee's Swarovski hotfix gems.  That's it!  Simple, right?!

MPS Challenge #9 - Glitz, Glam & Glitter

I am posting these out of order, because I am skipping to challenges that fit my needs for getting caught up on my crafting LOL.  I know you can see the glam (hehehe) but it is kind of hard to see all the glitz and glitter in the picture, but I promise it's there.  I did the best I could to capture it with the camera.  I am very pleased with how this card turned out.  I have a niece that turned 17 in April; we all went out to dinner to celebrate but I had been traveling for work and hadn't had the time to make anything.  So, I came up with this idea...I hope she likes it :o).

Welcome Baby!

A colleague of mine invited me to her baby shower next month so I thought I would make her a card.  I have been dying to use the elephant from Zooballoo and now I got my chance!

I used Zooballoo for the elephant.  Simply Sweet for welcome baby.  Sentiment inside was printed on my printer using Candy RoundBTN font.  Elephant eyes are Jolee's Swarovski Crystals.  Orange Stickles.  White Souffle pen used to create dots on baby.
