Stamping Makes Me Hoo-ppy!!

This card kills me!! Another friend at work has a birthday tomorrow... one day she was looking at my card stash and remarked that she loved the owl cards! So, I used this guy from Cornish Heritage Farms along with FTL51 from Clean & Simple Stamping. I knew I was going to use thickers, inspired by Natasha's sample card... and then inspiration struck and I had to say "Hoo-ppy Birthday." Certainly not original but it definitely struck my funny bone... esp w/ this guy's little party hat that I added from SU's Pun Fun set. I tried to stamp the sentiment w/ Making Memories magnetic alphabet set that was given to me... but could I figure out how to arrange the stamps... spelling backwards while making sure the letters were going the right way and right side up. It was too much for me... my p's were d's, b's... every way they were not supposed to be!! At work our unit secretary laughs at me as I need her help every time I need to print on letter head!!! So, I took the easy way out and handwrote the letters!!

Thanks for looking!

Lots of Birthdays!!

I made this card for my friend Sarah's birthday... I love these colors together and am desperately trying to use all the scraps I have before cutting into new pieces of DP. And I have ALOT of it!!!

My roommate Crystal has a birthday coming and she LOVES ice cream!! So I knew I wanted to use this Denami stamp for her birthday card! I recently found a new blog...Clean and Simple Stamping. All different simple sketches... so I kind of followed FTL 52 for this card. I used Copics to color the ice cream cone and added a little Colorbok flower.

That's it today... a couple of simple cards!! Dinner last night was SO good!!! We made pasta primavera w/ zucchini, peppers, onion and tomato. Saute w/ some olive oil and pour over pasta. Only 5 points per serving!! We added a little bit of chicken but substituted that for the provolone cheese so I think it evened out! I have leftovers to bring to work tonight. Speaking of work, I should probably go get ready!!
