Happiest Birthday Dtr #2

Sending my best wishes through bloggie land to my daughter on her Birthday!  She's a beautiful person, loyal soul, an overcomer and thoughtful (Grandson's word - pretty good eh?!)!!  She blesses my socks off all day long, and I'm truly honored to be her mom.  BTW all three of my daughters are pretty stinkin' awesome!  Anyway - This one's for her!



I can't tell you how ecstatic I am with this card!  It doesn't happen often that something shows up on cardstock exactly the same as I saw it in my head!  This is a first try at Bokeh (loved it) and I've been wanting to use this stamp FOREVER, so what a perfect time!  Next a close-up...


Notice that sparkle in the ep?  I used a clear embossing powder with a "frost" embossing ink -- I kinda like it...

Supplies:
   SSS Hearts for Lila, stamp & die
   MFT Beautiful Blessings stamps
   Neat & Tangled - Polka stencil

Thanks for popping in and giving me some time from your day, I know time is so precious!  Hugs!

To Infinity & Beyond!

Sometimes just the tiniest stamp invokes a feeling and then you just GOTTA use it.  That's what happened here, Folks!  This stamp is one of those...  Now I must confess that it didn't stamp really clear, so for that I apologize but I just had to use it!  I couldn't resist!  Truly!


This was a secondary card for Hubbs on Valentine's Day, well because I HAD to!  Can you see it?  No?  Here's a close-up...


Hmmm, still not the clearest but it says "I love you, To Infinity & Beyond".  Ok I apologize... not the clearest "tiny" stamp in a less than stellar photo but an adorable saying to say the least.  And why not post because it fits nicely into the Addicted to CAS #153 Grid challenge.

Supplies:
   Impression Obsession - Dotted Argyle BG stamp
   SSS - Big Word Pop: scallop die


Thank you for stopping by, sharing your day and sharing your love!  Hope your day is fantastic, and the snow has not gotten the best of you!  Hoping to make it around to visit all of you this weekend!

Hugs,
TK

Happiest Birthday, Anita!

This one's for Anita -- she's a beautiful person with an uplifting heart, and inspires me all the time; a great card maker, who spurs us on to have fun and make beautiful things!  Who could want more from a bloggy friend!?!  My wish is for a perfect day filled with loved ones and special memories to be made.  Here's her card that's hopefully there (or she just gets a peek!)...


And a close-up!

An old rubber stamp called Bear with Flowers by Anita's (ironically), a different sentiment stamp, and the panel cut using MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle, then of course Zig-ified, although I had trouble coloring him brown and it being too dark!  Speaking of.... that "old" stamp should allow me to enter over at TO #129 - Retro!


Again, best wishes to Anita, and thanks for being such a sweet, inspiring soul!

Hugs,
TK
