Memorial Day Miss You Card....

I just can't get it together to do all the thinking and linking for the OWH Memorial Day Bloghop (check it out at www.operationwritehome.org) but I will be lurking on all the wonderful blogs that are participating! I did, however, get a "miss you" card together that I'll definitely use. Love my new doggie stamp (another 50 cent yard sale find) and I used my Copic marker E35 to highlight his cute floppy ears. I used Cuttlebug "Distressed" embossing folder and then scalloped and fringed the green to make the "grass." He's just waiting hear his master's voice...

Okay, So 18 Isn't Straight....

A challenging sketch but now that my brain is slowly going into "Real Housewives..,"House Hunters" la-la land in retirement, I needed something to make me think for a change. I bought a set of "Botannical Blooms" Stampin' Up stamps (never used!) at a yard sale for $5 and had a quote from my Fifth Avenue Flower set that I really just love.. so I went a bit crooked, played with the double stamping technique on the flowers and voila.. Oh, and I had to use my new Sizzix Texture pocketbook.. ...Hmmmmm.. wondering why my light cream card looks so dark on Stars&Stamps..it's lavendar and very light cream in the picture I uploaded... oh well, something else to think about.. (yeah!!!)
