Nope today's challenge is not for me

Well I wanted to do today's challenge but I just do not have the time to do all the steps so I decided just to do a couple of cards with no challenge ties. Something out on my own. Ok so what do you think? This first set of cards are from artful INKables, I used a brand new set "Butterfly Blessings" I you have not been over to artful Inkables in awhile you need to stop by. The new stamps that Kristin has released are just to die for. So what do you think about this card.

Here is what I used:
Stamps: artful INKables: Butterfly Blessings
Paper: unknown
Ink: SU Chocolate chip and Vesafine Onyx Black
Accessories: ribbon from offray, rhinestones form me and my big ideas, prismacolor pencils, punches, nestabilities, pop dots.




Well just when you thought I was done I came up with another card. This one was done with Pink Poison's new Anya's stamps. This little Princess stamp is so adorable. I made it into Belle from beauty in the beast. When we were at Disney World Ivi fell in love with Belle several years ago and every day year when she goes back Belle remembers Ivi. We call her our Belle. So this card is going to be sent to her. So here it is, what do you think.

Here is what I used:
Stamps: Pink Poison: Princess Anya
Paper: unknown
Ink: Versafine: Onyx Black, SU: Close to cocoa
Accessories: stickles, rhinestones by me an my big ideas, nestabilities, ribbon from American Ribbon, punches, prismacolor pencils, pop dots

I got my CORY fix

Yes we just got back for Oklahoma State University. Cory is such an awesome young man. I know I say that because I am his mother but when people seek you out to tell you what a gentleman he is, well I just can't explain the feeling in my heart. You know now that he is in a fraternity I thought maybe he might pull away a little but not my baby. He still kisses me on the cheek in front of all his buddies and never pulls away when I go to hug him. We are so blessed to have such wonderful children in both Ivi and Cory. I thought I would share a few photos with you from the dad's weekend we just came back from.





Oh and yes that is a beer my darling son is drinking. I know what is a mom to do.

I masked the giraffe so that I could stamp the flowers in the background. It kinda looks 3-D like the giraffe is sticking out a bit. My doodling is a minimum I just don't have a steady hand to do that. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.





Here is what I used:
Stamps: artful INKables: Zany Zoo 1, Paradise Island, Basic Salutatuions

Give Me Coffee!!!




Yes that is what I said. Rick and I had a discussion on who gets the last cup of coffee this morning and well I won. How you ask I said just that Give me Coffee if you don't want to get hurt. We were kidding of course, but I thought it was funny when I came down to my work room and this was the Limited supply challenge over at SCS. So I thought this little monkey from artful INKables, "Zany Zoo 1" would be a perfect card to give him when again he thinks he can have the last cup of coffee. Now you must understand he has a fresh pot waiting for him when he gets to work. So I am not taking anything away from him!!! So let me know what you think of my card.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: artful INKables: Zany Zoo 1
Paper: SU: Basic Black, Whisper White, Others unknown
Ink: SU: Pumpkin Pie, and Versafine: Onyx Black
Accessories: Ribbon, Halloween from micheals, rhinestones from me and my big ideas, flowers are prima, dicuts are from sizzix, prismacolor pencils and pop dots
