SSS 415 among other things

I'm banging out some of my October requirements today.  In between trips to the vet, post office, grocery shopping, laundry and all the other things on my "To Do" list, I managed to finish 3 cards.  Here are two of the cards, and I'll show you the third on Thursday.

This little cutie is the image given to us by Dea for our monthly image swap.  It's a Penny Black image called Snowy.  It's already headed off to Tracie.

My next card is to celebrate my neighbor's 20th anniversary.  I used the sketch over on the Catch The Bug Challenge.  While I absolutely adore my image with Stella and Gus; I do NOT love the colors on the card.  I was trying to match the color of Gus' shirt.   I don't think it looks celebratory at all -- more like an upset stomach!  Sigh ... sometimes creativity is hard!


Thanks for stopping by; I'm off to do more laundry to do!

TMS 329: Peek-a-Boo Bunny

I had to giggle a bit when I read Patti's description of her stamp collection.  She called herself a "crazy cat lady" because most of her stamps were of cats or flowers.  It got me thinking about MY collection.  I realized that really ... I just have too many in general!

This little cutie is what she sent. It's an image by Penny Black called "Pansy Bunny."  And since this is her first Christmas without her mom, Patti also encouraged us to use the color turquoise.  It was her mom's favorite color.  I kinda used A LOT of turquoise but I wanted to do it justice since this card is going right back to Patti!

I'm using the sketch over on the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.  It was super cute and REALLY worked with the image.

Belated Valentines Day

It's past Valentines Day but ... I'm still posting my cards. Sorry. I'm a little behind the curve ... which is kinda the story of my life!

Here's the story on this card: I was browsing Facebook (the place where I seem to spend much of my free time sad to say) and I saw that Whipper Snapper had this cute football stamp in honor of the Super Bowl. The catch was that you had to spend $25 to get him. Sadly, it is not difficult to spend $25 in their store. I bought the policeman as a "what the heck" sort of purchase and LOVE HIM. I haven't even inked the football stamp but I've made three cards with Mr. Copper. Moral of the story ... spur of the moment purchases CAN be good.

Supplies:
Card One: Whipper Snapper Designs "Copper" stamp, SU stop sign

Card Two: Penny Black dog, SU phrase
