Rooster Birthday

What could be better for a birthday than rooster and chickens? Since my brother in law Paul looks good feeding his chickens and i have tons of chicken stamps I have choosen chickens for his past birthdays and this is no exception… the design is for two challenges TMS (sketch below) and Tip top Tuesday which has a theme of outside the frame. So many chickens so little time.

Happy birthday mom

Its mom’s birthday, and with a nickname Bea she gets a lot of bees and flowers from me, so here’s a bee for Bea. The embossing is cuttlebug, the flower Stampin up chalked and the bee punched from Martha Stewart. I love all white cards but thought this needed the flower and bee stripes colored…

I’m entering this in the flourishes challenge from my time to craft and the girly challenge from Tip Top Tuesday, and although the stamens are yellow hope this fits into the Less is more challenge too(use pink and black and white).

olw india

For the One Layer Challenge this week we had to use an image, a border, and bling , believe it or now this took over 5 tries and i still don’t like it very much. Some times one’s tools aren’t quite right and its the stamp mounters fauld fault… wish I’d have known how important mounting the borders parallel to the edge was. I may unmount these stamps and put on cling backing but don’t have time this morning.

FYI many comments are suggesting I get a stamp a ma jig, and I have one but forget to use it thanks!!!!!

The central image is from Paula best the dots from a set fromStampin up ‘all in a row’.

New Year rabbit 2

For Chinese New Year my sister told me that new years rabbits should be wild and not cute bunnies but since I don’t have any real Chinese new rabbit stamps this will have to do since its Penny Black Saturday (sketch below) and Daring card makers have a new years rabbit challenge . Here is a Penny Black bunny stamp and a JustRite happy new year stamp. I punched & pasted the flowers and swirls, chalked the rabbit added a cuttlebuged blue background.
