We'll Owl Miss You

Hi All!  Ah, the end of a busy weekend and an even busier work week ahead...it really does seem like the weekends fly by and Sunday night I'm left wondering if there was some breakdown in the time space continuum because even though those around me swear there were two whole days there I'm not totally convinced :)  Anyhoo, enough babbling- on to the card...lol!  Again at work we're faced with someone moving on to greener pastures and I've offered to make a card...this particular co-worker loves owls, and has ordered owl specific cards from me before, so I definitely had a direction to go in from the start.  Since I've used most of my owl things for her already I did need to find a new image so I went to Etsy to see if I could find anything new and came across 2Cute Rubber Stamps and this adorable owl image which I snapped up in digi form.  He was so much fun to color- I just love his glasses!  Once I had him done I set to work with the August sketch over at Graphicat Sketch Challenge and the card came together pretty easily.  The sentiment is my own printed on my computer- it's kind of corny but I couldn't resist the play on words :)  Hope you enjoy it as much as I think she will!

Butterflies and Peonies

Hi All!  I've just got a quick post tonight before I head off to bed :)  I was asked to make a sympathy card for a coworker and just knew that something simple and classy like this Peony flower digital stamp from Just Inklined would be perfect.  I followed the sketch over at Papertake Weekly which gave me a great base and then, silly as it might sound, I just tried to create a 'pretty' card.  I used a rub on sympathy sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly which completed the card.  I hope that it offers a little comfort to a friend in need.

Love Story

Hi All!  I have a sweet little Valentine's card today...I'm using a CC Designs digi stamp called Swiss Pixie Violet with Key that I picked up here at All That Scraps.  I just love her little kerchief with the hearts on it!  Since she's for Valentine's Day I had an excuse to use my favorite color -pink- to color her up, especially because then she went perfectly with my new favorite Valentine's line of papers from Echo Park called Be Mine.  I love that Valentine's gives us a chance to be unappologetically girlie!  And I think this card might find it's way into the mail with my grandma's address on it as a special surprise :)

 I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday challenge #141 and really loved working with it!  I've not used sketches much before but I have to say I'm becoming a huge fan.  I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
