Here is the first one. The turtle is from Create a Critter. The base and the letters are from Birthday Bash.

Die Cuttin’ Divas- anything goes

For the second one I made this little dog card using a Wild Rose Studio stamp from Milton & Co. I had my first Copic start showing signs of running out of ink. Such a sad day. E30. It was a good thing too I guess since I switched things up and tried a different combo- E42, E31, E55, E35. He looks a little blotchy in the picture but it’s really not. I’m just not the best photographer. :)

I believe we have guests coming over for dinner tonight so I’m off to clean like a mad women. Thanks for swinging on by!

Here is the turtle invitations I made for the the first birthday of one of my dearest friend’s son. I love his little happy face. It’s a swivel card (obviously) and the shell is inked and embossed.

In other news, 7 Kids has the 2010 Magnolia Merry Little Christmas stamps available for pre-order. I love Secret Tilda, Flying Angel Tilda, and Tilda and Edwin Dancing. So cute…which reminds me that I need to start my Christmas cards. I am a pro at waiting until the last minute. It seems to be a tradition of mine…

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I’m finishing up a couple of cards right now while my husband watches football with his dad and my son. Not too shabby for a Saturday afternoon!Other projects you might like:

This weeks Practical Scrappers challenge is acrylic accents, transparencies, and vellum. As I mentioned in my last post this really was a challenge for me. I don’t really use these embellishments. Then I found this friends tag transparency I bought years ago. It was about time I used it! I also added some acrylic accents. This months sponsor at Practical Scrappers is none other than Squigglefly. You’ll be getting a double dose of Squigglefly this month which is also the last month of my six month DT position.
