stack 'o goodness...

Check this stack out...

It's something that I worked on last weekend...a total of 24 thank you cards...4 ended up being for my own personal use but the other 20 were for a custom order. I tried to keep "USPS friendly" in mind...

My girl is my marketing manager...don't tell her I said that, she'll want to be compensated for it..LOL. Anyways, my ex-husband's girlfriend was writing up a list for thank you's and my girl reminded her about the wonderful "Tsuruta Designs"...funny huh?!

So here's what I came up with:

First up is one that the boy helped me with...I stamped the sweet Poppy Stamps dog and SU sentiment and the boy colored in each pup differently:) I tell you, he is getting good with the copics!

Next is a clean & crisp thank you using metal from J's... which also satisfies today's 365 Cards Challenge...metal mania!

I know that the fabbie Lauren will love these Sassy Monsta's...it is my daughter's design...she did all the fussy cutting of the monsta's...I put it together...I had to highlight this particular monsta as my daughter is the black high top Converse wearing gal:)

One of my favorite A Muse images is that sweet bird...I 'filled in the bird bath' with my quickie glue pen and SU Dazzling Diamonds...

Who can resist the Hero Arts Frog??!!!

These ended up staying home with me...I meant for them to be the ex's gf's daughter but was told "she isn't a girlie girl"....but good grief, I used MM blooms, buttons and hello?! May Arts Ribbon {thanks elaine!!}. Everything works out for the best because I love these 'lil scraplings...

I'm thankful for my kidlets help...I do know something, I love to create to create, kwim? I'm not much of a custom order kind of gal...I was reminded of that as I was thinking of all the other stuff that I "should" be doing {DT work....Pub Calls....Laundry...LOL}. Oh well, I stamped and created...it is all good and therapeutic:)

Come on back tomorrow...it's my day on the 365 Cards blog and Pam 'almost' had me stumped...muwahahahaha....

Happy Sunday!!!

Welcome to 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!

Pam initially had me absolutely stumped with her fancy smancy sketch. I ended up jumping in with both feet and came up with this "poppy" card....why poppy? I recently discovered the oh-so-sweet images by Poppy Stamps. It is a venture by Memory Box, a local Washingtonian company. I used Pink Paislee to paper piece the darling "peggy polka dot". I stamped peggy on a fabriano scrap and then finished off the oval scallop with dots using my Marvy Twinklette pen.

I can't wait to see your take on today's sketch!

Although it may not have seemed like it...I was out there in blogland last week...mostly lurking...why just lurking??

The kids and I were in fabulous Hawaii!!!!

Yes, we were there when there were threats of tropical storms...no, we didn't have any but sheesh it was humid. Most of the time there was constant drizzling which we actually thought was quite refreshing :) Thanks to my friend "I" who took some days off from work to play with us!!! We actually travelled with my friend "J" and her boy. The kids have known each other since they were literally babies and get along well.

I was hoping to meet up with some of the Hawaiian bloggers but when we weren't walking, touring or doing something else I was napping...I blame the humidity..LOL. Hey, it's vaca...

Anyways, I'll be back in full blogging mode tomorrow...I've missed you all!!
