Baby, you can drive my car!

Hello! This is a birthday card for the son of a friend of mine. Have you guessed that he must have turned 16, the driving age here? Yep, he sure did! (On the 5th~another late card! :P
I tried to keep it fun so went with a red car! I used R24, R29 and R59 for my reds. The greys are in the Cs. I used spica silver pen on the bumpers and the stripe on the side of the car.
The Nestability label was too small so I simply cut them in half and left a space in the middle so the labels would show at the top and the bottom.
The pearls are a gunmetal grey to match the grey on the car. I hope he likes it!
Have a great day!
Thanks for coming by-Magnolia cards will be coming soon and we're cookin' up a blog hop for Monday the 18th!
Hugs, Cheryl

Flying High!

I'm so sorry I've been absent these last few days! I've been busy getting cards/gifts ready for the mail and not stopped to post until now! Also, yesterday was my birthday and I had to celebrate, right!? Thanks to DH and my sisters and niece and nephew for an excellent day! This card and gift card holder were made for one of our nephews (we have 6). His birthday was August 5. I tried to keep the Snoopy a bit masculine for him, but the gift card inside the holder is for he and his wife. Her birthday was at the end of July. The Snoopy stamp is from Stampabilities and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. And that little notebook page is also from PTI. It was so fun to make! You'll be seeing more!

Here's the set together. I probably should have stamped a "happy birthday" on the lines on the front! Oh, Well!

Thanks for coming by today. I will show you the card and "wallet"I made for my niece, whose birthday happens to be tomorrow, Aug. 9 tomorrow.

Of course I also have Magnolias (new stamps in the house!), Mo's designs AND I Brake for Stamps things to get ready for this week!

Today is another beautiful day so I think some deck/reading time is in order!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy birthday, Dave!

Hi, I made this card for my DH, Dave whose birthday was Tuesday! Dave loves planes so this Snoopy Flying High was a perfect choice! AND it had never seen ink before! I used an old SU background stamp on my Bermuda Bay card stock which I LOVE!! It's so great with this MME paper! I found the apron punch recently so used that as well.

Snoopy is colored with my copics in pumpkin shades (again!)

I want to watercolor again, it was my first love. Ahhh, when time permits.....

Have a great day and THANKS YOU so much for coming by my Cottage!

It's Your Day!

Hi and Happy Sunday! It's Tankgirl's day on SCS. She is the featured stamper. I am so "in the mood" to color pumpkins, but I have a lot of birthday cards to get done so this orange card is my personal compromise!! I love orange!!

I used Basic Grey Paper (Ambrosia) with grey and Apricot card stock. The sentiment is an oldie, but goodie by Savvy stamps.
Copics I used are:
YR0000, YR17, YR19, YR04, YR15 Y19, YR18, BG10, E93
and co0l greys, c1, c3, c5, c7 and c9.
This is a card for a man so the only sparkle is a little spica glitter pen on the stripe and chrome.

Thanks for visiting! I love reading the great comments I get!

Snoopy on the Go!

I love vehicle images and this is my new favorite (until the next one!) It's made by Stampabilities. I'll keep my post short today as I was late for my Inservice training yesterday!
My card base is PTI's Ripe Avocado. The dotted paper is from Fancy Pants All Fall, the plaid is Cosmo Cricket Early Bird. I hadn't used one of these round paper clips (that I had to have 3 boxes of!) in ages! I think it's perfect for this. There is silver spica on Snoopy's car that is probably hard to see-including a silver stripe down the side! And then the brads are metal too! Who cares that they aren't the same kind of metal, it's a theme!

Copic colors used are as follows:
BG11, BG72, BG72, BG78 and BG0000 for blending
E32, E35 and E38 fr Woodstock
Various shades of cool and warm gray for the tires!

Thanks for visiting today!

I would love if you scrolled down to Monday's post and entered a comment for my blog candy! Winner to be chosen on Sunday August 2.

Thanks to all of you who have left comments! Love them ALL!!
