A Very Merry Un-Birthday!

What better time to update my blog with my Alice in Wonderland card that I made for our friend Jenn's Birthday, then when I'm watching Tim Burton's remake of Alice in Wonderland. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a lover of ALL things Alice in Wonderland as well as a HUGE fan of Tim Burton films. There isn't one yet that I haven't seen!
In my opinion, Alice in Wonderland is one of the most imaginative Disney movies out there! Of course, the Tim Burton version of the film is absolutely bonkers, but I would expect nothing less of him.

Anyhow, there were a lot of steps to making this card, but I didn't mind. I think that Sweet Pea stamp cards should be made elegant and cute like Magnolia cards. For this card I used the Cheshire Cat Illusion stamp by Chingchou Kuik at Sweet Pea Stamps.

Here's a sneak peek. click the link below for all the pics.

"With Sympathy" and "Thanks Sew Much"

this post has a sympathy card and a thanks card! My friend Rhonda (my loyal customer that I'm always making cards for) told me last week that her auntie passed away. She was very sad as she said this was the auntie that she was closest to. I made her a card :)

the 2nd card is a "thanks sew much" card. this card was actually just "thrown" together (haha, sewn together, not quite!) and it didn't turn out how I wanted it. the coloring job is bad (I'm ASHAMED of myself!!!) and it just isn't what I wanted it to be! it did come out cute, and it's what I wanted it to be as far as 'layout' goes but I'm not happy with my coloring job. I think that is really what throws me off with this card! I never color this bad, but I was RUSHING to do this card early into the morning last night before I had to get up to leave at 4am to go to the airport to get our friend Jenn who's in visiting from Lost Wages, erm, I mean, ehhh hemmmmm, Las Vegas (haha, I can call it that cause I used to live there!).

Anyhow, here are sneak peeks of the 2 cards, click the link to see the rest of the pics!
