Lunch Note-HSS 176

It's an image inspiration week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  Take a look:



Super cute, but I own no birds, no feather stamps.  So I improvised, take a look:

I love making little cards for my girls' lunches.  This is a 4.25" square card.

The embossing with the wood grain was a no brainer.  Then I scratched my head.  The branch reminded me of a banner.  The print on the DSP reminded me of feathers, though I flagged on the wrong ends :/  oops!  Then I added this little heart with an owl inside.  My oldest is still owl crazy! 

I'd love to see what you can do with the photo!  Remember you have 2 weeks to play!, and be sure to check out what the rest of the team created.

Thank You-HSS 175

After some headaches with Google and Blogger, I think I'm all set to go with this blog again.  Why do people find the need to hack others?!?!?  It's sketch week at Hand Stamped Sentiments and I went the Holiday thank you route, can't have enough of those right?  Here's the sketch:



Here is my card:

I've been doing a lot of nontraditional colors lately on tags, so I thought I'd go back to some good 'ole red and green.  This frame had a different sentiment, this is why I love my markers!

Be sure to head over and see what the others have created, and have yourself a Merry little Christmas!
