Nephew Jake's 2nd Birthday

Here is the card I made for my nephew for this second birthday. I used the PTI Little Hot Rod stamp set along with the dies, as he likes trains. I added the little two in the train smoke cloud using the MFT Banner Alphabet set.



SUPPLIES USED:


So since Jake's birthday falls near Halloween, my brother and SIL decided to make his birthday party Halloween themed and we all had to dress up. I dressed as Morticia Addams from the Addams Family, so I thought I would leave you with a photo ...
 
 
Feel free to laugh as much as you like! :0) I did win the Best Costume trophy though, so it was worth it! lol Have a great rest of your weekend!

The Cutest Reindeer In Town!

Is this not the cutest reindeer you did ever see?! When I got previews of the Clearly Besotted Stamps sets I saw this reindeer and fell in love! I don't usually make Christmas cards this early (yep, it's still early for me) but I could not resist inking this beauty up.

Boo's Fun - DTDF Challenge

Here is my card I made for the latest challenge over at the Dies to Die for Blog. The challenge this month is Halloween/Monsters. I saw these ghosts from CC Designs are fell in love, how cute are they? They remind me of Casper the Friendly Ghost! So I have coloured the one holding the pumpkin in with Copic Markers and cut out; I have added it to a circle cut using a MFT Die-Namics Circle Stax die on Doodlebug Beetle Black CS with 3D foam pads. This has in turn been mounted with 3D foam pads to the card base. The base is simply two sheets from the Echo Park The Apothecary Emporium pad mounted to more black CS and twine wrapped around. Bazzill Jewels added to finish.
 




SUPPLIES:
COPIC MARKERS: Ghost: C5, C3, C1, C0, C00, Blender. Pumpkin: Y35, Y38, YR23, E08, YG67, YG99.
 
 

 
Thanks so much for visiting me today. I have been invited to my nephew's birthday party at the end of the month, the only thing is it is a halloween themed party and everyone has to come in costume. I need to get my thinking cap on as to what I am going to go as! Have a great day!
