Is this the cutest card??







I am in another swap over at SCS called The Cutest Card. So I am on the hunt for the cutest card I can make. Here is another image from Whipper Snapper (I love love love to color their images!) I am running late for work this morning, so I just took this picture on my work table (hence the mess!). I will update with card details later today....thanks for looking!



P.S. I promised (for those of you who really care, if anyone does) a picture of the electronic resistors with some scale ... here you go!!

Coffee Time


Here is the other card for the swap I am doing over at SCS. I do not like this one as much as my tea one, but I am happy anyway!!!
The stamps are from Lizzie Anne, a cup of coffee and coffee beans background.
Inside, I used a piece of cardstock to hold in a packet of Cappucino mix. The inside sentiment says....
"Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee".

Now I still have to make all the other ones, but it goes lot quicker once designed and the prototype finished! Thanks for looking!!!
Stamps: Lizzie Anne
Paper: DCWV, Marah Johnson
Technique: colored pencils with odorless mineral spirits

Tea Time


I am participating in my first swap over at SCS !! And, of course, I am coming down to the wire on my cards. I have had the vision/idea for a month, but it has taken me awhile to get just the right ingredients. I am pretty happy with the way it came out! Now I just have to make six more (but that will be easy, now that I have all the measurements set). I am not a frilly pink kind of person, so I put my own little twist on it with the papers.


I love the sentiment inside (I printed it off my computer).


Remember the tea kettle - it is always up to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings! ~Author Unknown


And for those of you who are wondering about my photo light box, I chickened out of making one and just bought one I found for around $50 (with the lights, four backdrops and a tripod). I think I probably should iron the backdrop; I was just to excited to try it out once I finished my card!
Thanks for looking!
