I Thought of You Today

Just thought I'd post a card I made yesterday....just for me! OK well not really ...For ME...but not a DT card. In fact, do you do this... ever find yourself overwhelmed with a card... and well your mojo is just not there... or you just can't get it to work for you?? I was trying to do an upcoming DT Challenge and I just could NOT get any inspiration for it...nothing I thought of seemed to work out and so... I put it ALL aside and pulled out an image I'd coloured abit ago and put together this card. Now I made it for one friend who recently had surgery however, ended up giving it to another who needed it sooner.... LOL Will have to make another for the first friend. I pulled out the  great sketch from over at The Beary Scrap and made this....

Now...this is of course an adorable image from Penny Black, and I've paired it with some great papers from We R Memory Keepers (Fabulous little 6x6 pad I got!!). Anyhow, I was happy with it, it's cheery and happy and well different then the cards I've been making of late. So I'm also gonna enter it over at Papertake Weekly cause well it's ANYTHING GOES over there!!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge ~ Birthday Card

Im finnally getting on here to load up these cards I've made over the past few days. I've been staying up late making them, then run out of time before Jay leaves for work....and well when I NEED to be in bed. I've been putting in alot of OT at work and well, I'm wearing myself out abit. Then last night, I was going to finnaly take the time to photograph and load them up and OF COURSE the battery on the camera is dead. Geesh!  SO! Finnaly here we are.

This card is for the Scetch over at Sketch Saturday blog They always have great sketches, and I ALWAYS print them off with the intention of getting a card done...but alas it doesnt happen often. This one however, will make! LOL I fell in love with this stamp from Penny Black the minute I saw it, grabbed it and well hugged it! LOL Isnt it just the CUTEST!! I've made 2 of these cards! Look at me all thinking ahead! LOL One is for my neice's birthday (pretty sure she's not checking my blog...she's 6!) and the other is for a dear friend. I think this cute little elephant works for both adults and children! LOL Anyhow, thanks for looking and on to my next post/challenge card. :o)

Almost forgot to show you the inside!!

Penny Black Sketch Challenge

This is my entry for the challenge over at the Penny Black Challenge site. It's this great sketch they've done. THis is my first set of Penni Black stamps and I love them! They're SO CUTE!!  I made this for my little friend next doors birthday. And it was a tough choice on what stamp to use....as she loves all animals so wasn't sure whether to go with the dog or cat... but this one had a balloon and she had gotten a bouquet of balloons that she was enamored with and well, this idea came together. Anyhow. I like it.
