FIngers and Toes

Life really is all about the little things in life, isn't it? I'm blessed that I've purely run out of fingers and toes when counting all the little blessings in my life.

Denami is having a Product Challenge to feature rhinestones. I like to use rhinestones to accentuate a sentiment mostly... In fact, I think this is the most rhinestones I've ever put on a card before.

Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Buckaroo Blue) SU, (White) Office Max
Patterned Paper: (unknown)
Stamps: (Single Tweety Bird) Denami Designs
Ink: (Onyx Black) Versamagic
Other: (Sticker Sentiment) SRM Stickers, (Rhinestones) Michaels, (Black Enamel Accents) Ranger, (Corner Chomper) WR Memory Keepers

Happy Thoughts

Sometimes he really gets into it...
Him: Why are you making a cloud with words in it?
Me: Because it isn't a cloud, it is a thought bubble.
Him: What?
Me: A thought bubble. You know, sending you happy thoughts.
Him: What? It looks like a cloud, and clouds don't talk. Nor are they happy.
Me: Because it isn't a cloud, it's a thought bubble.
Him: No, it's a cloud. Let me go ask the boys what they think it is.
So he takes the card, goes up to the youngest and I hear this...
Him: Do you see this cloud with words in it? What does it look like to you?
Youngest: A cloud.
So he then takes the card to the oldest and I hear this...
Him: You know what a cloud looks like right? All puffy and circular? What does this look like?
Oldest: A cloud.

I'll hand it to him, this stamp could be a cloud which I will save making for a rainy day, but today it is a thought bubble and the card is sending some happy thoughts. The very clean and simple card is based off the current sketch at Denami Designs, and the thought bubble is one of their inventive stamps.

Flower Favors

I'm one to not underestimate the value of a thank you. I never forget a favor or kind deed and I usually will repay them in some shape or form. There are many people in my life that have supported me through this great and wonderful hobby and I am slowly sending them tokens of my appreciation.

Just a fun little gift card or jewelry holder with matching note I made up with the quite wonderful templates offered at Denami Design for their latest challenge found here. These were easy to download and easy to print which makes them perfect for me. I randomly stamped a flower background on the template paper before cutting and assembling (on the non-printed side-thanks Lisa!) and then came back and colored the flowers with colored pencils and glitter glue. The card uses the leftover circle stamped on the printed side and the same flower stamp set.
