This is my second post for today. Please scroll down one to see my
Creative Inspirations Paints wedding card.
Hello to the new faces I see on the sidebar, and people who signed up to get email updates! So nice to have you here. I really appreciate your time. :-)
I spent a lovely hour of stamping today with my 10 year old. Each of us created something I'd like to share with you.
I combined some challenges to make mine:
I brought out my box of scraps to create this. These sat before me until something pleasing materialized. It took a while. ;)
The stars are from the new
Unity goodies I received in the mail the other day. I ADORE this set,
Twinkle Twinkle. The sentiment is part of it, too.
To me, this could be a baby card OR a 'love you' card for just the right grown up or teenager.
I really did do some embossing on here, promise! It was hard to photograph. I used a frame around the patterned paper portion, and then embossed this little heart. I realize it's not the focal point of the card, but I really wanted to incorporate some embossing so I could play at Papercraft Star. (-:
My daughter's card is just too stinkin' cute, if you ask me. She came up with the idea all on her own. I bought
Fright Night from
Unity, and it has this damask-patterned pennant banner stamp in it. She looked at it and said, "Those could be teeth for a monster." And thus, a rosy-cheeked monster card was born.
She wants to give this to her aunt, whose birthday is on Halloween. Inside, she has a birthday sentiment.
Because of those embossed rosy cheeks, I'll enter her card with Papercraft Star, too. And I'm also placing this in the DYSU challenge, 'Inspired by a Movie' -- "Monsters, Inc." of course!! (oh darn! I missed the deadline on this. :-(
Thanks for joining both of us today!
