Set 2 - Lance's 60th

I am so happy with the way these turned out. I used the Blue Ribbon paper package that Laurel sent to me from CTMH. I am really loving the coordinates. Makes it a lot easier having all the right colors at your fingertips. I did paper piercing, stitching, distressing, inked and embossed the frame that Lance is in. It looks very bright but IRL it matches. They look much better side by side.....

Joy!

I just felt the need to use my Quikutz flourishes. Luv them!! I used Ranger's Adirondack Pearl Metallic paint for the snowflake, then distresses with ink and added gems. I would make more for this year but I think gluing on the gems would wear me out!! LOL!

Whipper Snapper

This little monkey is too cute! An image sent to me by Laurel (thanks!) by Whipper Snapper. I am getting good practice with my Copics! I love the bg paper. I went and bought it specifically for this card. Fortunately it was double sided so I could use both!!

Riley - Pumpkin Patch

Riley strikes again!! I just love my new scalloped squares and circles I bought. Talk about taking the BLAH out of squares. Don't get me wrong - I freakin' love squares cuz they are so precise but these add something really different and just.....something more.

Another Award

So since I am updating my blog I thought I should put this award on here too. I think it's so neat that people actually subscribe to my blog! Thanks again Laurel!! I would like to nominate the same people as before. Simone, Bere, Michelle and Deb. You guys give me inspiration!!

Blog Award

Awhile back Laurel gave me this award. :) Check out her blog http://want2scrap.blogspot.com/ I was so excited but I had no idea who to forward it to as I didn't know who some of the recipients would be. So I decided to post it anyway and do my best. Thanks so much Laurel!!! The rules of this award are slightly different from the usual.....
1. Only 5 people are to be nominated.
2. 4 out of the 5 have to be dedicated followers of your blog
3. 1 has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.
I nominate: Simone, Bere (she's not a recent subscriber but she's from another part of the world), Michelle and Deb and that's all I can come up with. I would send to Laurel but she's already sent to me!! LOL!! I love all your blogs. Thanks for being an inspiration!
