Cupcake Girl Birthday

The other evening I decided that this lovely lady with an enormous cupcake was just what I needed to wish a friend happy birthday. I poked around in my various stashes and found the scalloped heart already cut and then ran across this designer paper that matched so well. Thus this card was born.

Since I used scraps and snippets to make this card I am skipping over to Pixie's Snippet Playground to join in the week 222 fun.

The Fine Print: Cupcake Girl and Greeting by A Muse Studio "Birthday Girl" and "Go Hog Wild," heart die by Spellbinders, glitter glue by Stickles, designer paper and green bling from my stash.

Wednesday Workdesk-The March 30 Version

Here's my WOYWW Certified Wednesday Work Desk. Except for the lack of pesky cat it looks quite a bit like last week's desk. I have some stamps and card toppers I want to play with, acrylic blocks lying about, rechargeable batteries that need recharging (if only I remembered where I put the charger), some "new" goodies from my generous friend, and embarrassingly my blog candy win from Fiki from mid-February that I keep forgetting to photograph and show it off. One of these days....

I don't have any in-progress cards or projects to share with you today. I haven't totally gotten back into the swing of things. Here's another view of the craft room for your entertainment. This shot is from standing behind the desk (you see a corner of it on the left). You can see I still have things piled about but easily accessible for playtime.

The Fine Print: That's it for WOYWW this week. Hope y'all are having a great day.

O Tannenbaum

This week at Merry Monday the theme is Christmas Carols. Perverse me could only think of such gems as "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo" which made me think perhaps I should sit this challenge out. You know, just for your guys' sake.

But I stuck it out and came up with some caroling kitties who are not singing about feces or murderous reindeers. They are singing "O Christmas Tree" in German because they are multi-lingual kittens.

That said I am also going to link up to Scrappymo's Rudolph Days with this card because I think that's expecting too much of me to crank out two Christmas cards this week. In fact, I think I need a nap now.

The Fine Print: Caroling Kitties from Stampin' Up "Merry Crittermas." Stitched landscape die, tree die, and Marshmallow Splash spray by A Muse Studio. Ribbon from my stash. Apologies for the crap job my camera does. Meow.

A Sympathetic Card

I made this sympathy card yesterday. I decided I didn't want to do a morose, dull colored card. Being sad that someone passed is gloomy enough, why not send a card that has a bit more perk to it.

I hope no one feels that I was out of line. I do sometimes march to the beat of different trombonist than the rest of us and usually it works but sometimes not.

The Fine Print: Sympathy card topper by Club Scrap, designer paper by DCWV, cardstock by SU (that generous friend again), and green twine from my stash.

Friends

Since I don't have anything I've made to show you right now I'll show you something my friend H made and sent me.  It's a real stunner.

It is fussy cut, layered like there is no tomorrow and quite glittery as well. I plan to hang it on my inspiration board at home (just as soon as I find the missing magnets for it).

The Fine Print: The border punch is by Martha, but that's all I know. 

Cadbury Happiness

I saw THIS post on Sarn's site which included the niftiest Cadbury Egg Throne and I said to myself, "Self, you have to make this for your coworker." And so I did. And she squealed with joy.

The Fine Print: Chevron ribbon by A Muse Studio, yellow & white baker's twine by Doodlebug, and other products by Stampin' Up: Pear Pizazz cardstock by SU (from that generous friend of mine!), Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (to make the speckles on the egg), oval embossing folder, large oval punch, and 1.25" scallop circle.

Easter Bunnies

I've decided that I'm not a big fan of Easter cards. Every year I have good intentions and every year it goes rather bust. I did manage to make a couple cards each of these two versions. I actually started a third version and got interrupted. I'm pondering sending out those bits and pieces and calling them "Some Assembly Required" Easter cards.

The Fine Print: Bunny stamp by A Muse Artstamps, egg die by Cheery Lynn, stitched rectangle by L'il Inkers and other stuff from my stash (more of that green ribbon from my friend).
