Inkin'....

I have a couple cards today. The first is one that my friend Dave asked me to make for his wife for their 10th anniversary. I took the picture at work w/ my phone it is not the best picture! I was really inspired, for this card and pretty much every card:), by Kristina Werner. It is a 4 1/2 square card. I cut a piece of this Kaiser DP and slipped a scrap of black behind it. I borrowed my friend Pam's Just Rite Stamper Curls set for the #10. I couldn't figure out how to work in Happy Anniversary on the front as I don't have a stamp for that. My friend Dave can be brutally honest, something I appreciate, and for some reason am never offended when he is!! But he said he really liked it!!
Details-Paper-SU Pink Pirouette, Black, Whisper White and Kaiser DP; Ink-Memento Tuxedo Black; Stamps-Just Rite Curls Monogram set; Accessories-SU Black grosgrain, Punch (Fiskars I think), Corner Rounder punch

I love this Amuse sentiment that I also borrowed from Pam... Inkin' of You. I didn't really have anything in mind when I made this... just had the supplies in front of me!!

I have to run.... Marty will be here soon. We're going to go the grocery store to get stuff for dinner then a walk. I found a WW recipe for pasta primavera, looks pretty good!! I am planning on making a concerted effort... for the 1,455,445 time... to monitor my intake. It's very frustrating b/c I don't think what I eat is unhealthy... it's not what I eat but how much. I pulled out the measuring spoons today and meausred an actual TBSP of peanut butter to put on my rice cake and it was decidedly different from the amount I usually put on! Portion sizes and desserts are my downfall!! Off for more water... I'm starving!!;)

Yay to nice roomates who let me use their computer!! This card follows Taylor's last cupcake challenge. I've done a few of Taylor's challenges and I've yet to use cupcakes!!

This card was pretty simple. I stamped the Certainly Celery layer w/ the SU Stitched background stamp. I randomly added glitter to the image which didn't turn out exactly as I pictures, as often hapens w/ me and glitter! But the rest of the card turned out as planned!!

Details-Paper-SU Close to Cocoa, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Delicate Dots DP; Ink-Clorbox chalk; Stamps-Verve Beautiful You, SU Stitchd Background and SU Polkadot punches; Accessories-Mat pack and piercer, foam tape

Thanks for looking!

Love It

Edited: While reading other blogs I realized that this sketch is actually the one for SC167... I thought I had come up with a cool sketch of my own:)

I love this card... if I do say so myself!! This started out for the SCS sketch challenge 160 but I couldn't get the sketch to work with me so I ended up with this! There is something about it I really like... I think the ribbon... I LOVE this black polka dot ribbon!

Anyway, this is a for a friend's birthday coming up... off to bed! TFL!!

Here are a couple of cards I made in the past couple days... the first being a birthday card for my niece Grace who turns 1 next week!!The second card is a thank you card for my brother and sister-in-law. They gave me this name stamp which I think is so cute!! They said they wanted to give me a stamp with my address on it as well but I move too much! I guess they're right!
