I have new stamps to create with...remember??? :D I was able to use one stamp from each of my new sets and I really love them! This first card is the little lion from the Mindy's Zoo collection. Since I was the featured stamper this week on Splitcoast and couldn't play, I decided to case a featured stamper's card from a previous week! The stamper that I choose was
Denise! :D She is so incredibly talented and I LOVE her cards! She also has a fantastic
blog that you need to be sure to check out! Anyway, I chose to case
this card of hers. Isn't it just adorable??? I kept the sketch the same along with the ribbon placement but changed about everything else. I really like this layout! It is so fun!
This second card was made using my OWN sketch! I told you I would do it and I did! :D Now, the sketch is simple, but a girl has to start somewhere...right? I decided to pull the owl out of my new Birds Galore set and it was perfect because as I was making it, I was actually listening to an owl across the road in a tree! It was so neat! This card was quick and easy and I can give it to a man OR a woman! Can you get much better than that? Haha!
Ok...that's it for tonight! Nick and I are going to watch one of our new $5 movies from Wal-Mart (another steal I forgot to mention)! We got Mr Deeds, Big Daddy, School of Rock, Secondhand Lions, and The Princess Bride (which was actually only $4)! We couldn't believe they were all so cheap! Such good movies too! Anyway, that's what we are doing, pizza and a movie. Have a terrific night everyone! I will be back here in the morning! :D

I just love this little giraffe from the Mindy's Zoo set! He reminds me so much of the giraffes that we just saw at the zoo! Hehe!
I made this card for the Mothers & Daughters Challenge blog. They posted a really fun sketch for this first challenge! I colored in the giraffe with my SU! markers, cut him out, and then popped him up on dimensionals. I then paper pierced around the left two corners of the rectangle. I also tied some of this great ribbon around the chocolate/mustard piece and then added the sentiment (from the new SU! Sock Monkey set). I will be back a little later with a card that I made for today's SCS sketch challenge. And get ready because you will finally be able to actually SEE the Sock Monkey! Haha!
