Sick? Feel Better

Todays card is created from a sketch over at the Mojo Monday site.  I have had the build a monster set for quite some time and have not used it so I thought it would be perfect to use one of them as a little "virus" and make a get well card.  I used my prismacolor pencils to color him and I think he turned out just adorable.

When we went to the mailbox yesterday there was a wonderful surprise from my sister, Kathy!  It's not Easter without Chicks and Rabbits and there were TWO bags of them.  I guess she knew Katie would want her own bag and I couldn't  hide them fast enough so I shared!  We have looked everywhere in Jacksonville for our favorite easter treats with no success so she hooked us up!  Thanks Kathy!

Don't forget to stay tuned for my give away that starts tomorrow!

Happy Birthday with Crushed Curry

It seems March is a busy month for birthdays!  Today is my friend Shannon's birthday so I made her this card using Crushed Curry, one of the newest Stampin Up "In colors".

I stamped the daisys in crushed curry along the bottom of the card.  I wanted a few more flowers to fill in between so I stamped off with the crushed curry which creates a nice dimensional look without being too busy.

I finished the card by spraying with the Pearl Glimmer mist.  Using the glimmer mist tends to warp the paper a bit if sprayed to heavily but Stampin Up has a new product coming out which I hope gives the same "sparkle" without the warp.  I'll let you know when I try it out!
