Random Cards #2

A set of cards made with (What else?) ONE piece 8x8 Cosmo Cricket patterned paper.... and a little Basic Grey leftover from another project.  The "Kindred Spirits" stamp is from the SU jumbo wheel stamp "Friendly Words" that I took off the roller and hacked up.  Apparently I enjoy cutting stamps all up and remounting them onto cling foam.  *sigh*  

Proof-Positive for Betsy that I DO make mistakes...  she will get all happy about that... really should NOT have stamped this sentiment over the darkest corner of the card as you can not easily read it unless you look REALLY closely, and that's not EASY.  Anyways, Lesson Learned: do not try to stamp on cards when you get off a really busy 12 hour night shift.  Sleep first.  Another stamp from the now unmounted roller.

Yup... more from the roller and you got it, the Flip Side of the Cosmo Paper at the top... oh, the paper flowers are CC also, from a kit my Mom gave me.  Ha, I don't think she GAVE it to me, so much as said, "Make me something with this"... which I did, but I'm guessing she meant either Make Something With ALL Of It, or Give Me Back The LeftOvers of My 4,000 Piece Accessory Set.  What do you think?  Ok, ok... the paper is from that kit, too.

Last one, which in my opinion, is really stretching the One Piece of Paper Bank.  Blah.  If you get this in the mail from me, do NOT take it personally.  Hey Mom!  I made you a card with that Cosmo Cricket kit!!!!  HAHAHAHAHAAHHA.... ok, not funny.  

Father's Day

Celebrating Father's Day today!  This is the card I made for my Dad... His 3 favorite little girls!  I've made a few cards recently with pictures, and will post more later ~ after Laurie's Birthday *wink*wink*.  Anyways, here's the inside of this card...

My poor brother... growing up in a house with 3 obnoxious sisters!  Who hogged the bathroom... you know, all of us in there at once and him waiting, oh so patiently, on the stairs outside for his turn... which came about an hour later.  *sigh*  He has his own bathroom now!  

Ryan wanted me to be sure and post the card Carly made for him... 

I made a card for Ryan, too... but it's in his book as a handy bookmark.  No way am I moving it lest I lose his place.  Yikes.  Really thankful for such a GREAT Dad for my crazy little kids!  Also not pictured is the card I made for my Father-in-Law... Ryan and the kids are going to hand deliver it this week when they visit the family in Michigan.  

One last card... my Dad's birthday was on Thursday, and here is the card I made for him.  We had already given him his present (we all chipped in money towards his new camera) so that's why there is an old fashioned camera on the tag.  LOVE the Tim Holtz stamps and am planning on going to his website where I hear there are tutorials on distressing paper, among other things... the "man" is from his line, which is now available at Michael's.  This paper is from  K&Company.

Hope you had a great day, thinking about a great DAD!

Random cards #1

I am not great about getting my cards on here, so I'm going to try making "Random Card Posts" and see how that goes...  These were all made using ONE piece of 8x8 patterned paper (Cosmo Cricket - of course - "Get Happy") and coordinating SU cardstock. 

This card does not have any "sentiment" stamped on it... I figured I'd add one on when I'm ready to use this card, you know, depending on what I need... 

This card has "Love Life Live" ribbon on it that Laurie got for me from that great craft store, Old Navy.  For Real.  

Last one...  Not one scrap of Cosmo Cricket paper was wasted, which makes me so happy.  I know, it's an illness.  

Have a great day!
