Simple Joys of Life

Happy Monday! I am back from my long weekend and feeling refreshed. I finally was able to make a card from this image and paper that I had picked out two weeks ago. I even made a handmade flower to go with it and added some Spica glitter on the piping of her outfit for a little sparkle...hard to see in the photo. I also used my compressor and airbrush system to make a muted grafitti style background that reminded me of spray paint, to go with the Kenny K Skater Girl image. I even threw in some Washi Tape.

Welcome back to another lovely installment of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday! I still love doing this because I am so sloth-like and slow at making cards.... I feel disappointed that I don't have something new to show off everyday, like I haven't accomplished anything. Well I haven't done much more this past few days that straighten up and put away all my halloween supplies and oh yeah and it is very cold here in the northeast so I have taken to hibernating in my snuggie every night afterwork. It has sleeves though so I don't really have an excuse for not making a card... So I have made a pact with myself to make sure that every tuesday night I set about starting a card and taking a picture of my desk so I can play along with WOYWW. Then hopefully your lovely comments will encourage me to actually finish the card.

Above you will see that yes- I have a fully colored image ( I actually have many neatly filed away in a folder). I don't really understand what possessed me to color her outfit orange and blue...and give her green eyes...but I did. So finding paper to match this was a bit of a stretch. As you can see I did come up with some, now I have to decide on a layout...which is always the most difficult part for me. I think I will use the Wednesday sketch on splitcoast stampers just so I don't have to design my own layout. What can I say, you all knew I was a lazy stamper. Love to color...hate to actually make the card! At least the challenge this week over at Kenny K Krafty Girlz challenge is 'Anything Goes'! Can't go wrong with that.

Hello Diva!

Happy Thursday! I can't believe the week is almost over. I am so glad though, I am very tired this week. Too many late nights I think. I have been staying up late stamping and watching all the new fall shows! I just love it when all the shows start up again in the fall.
Here is a card I put together using one of my Kenny K girls. Just love his illustration, it is so sassy!

Happy Birthday America!

Technically I am not late with my card... it is still the 4th and before the Macy's Fireworks display...so I am just in time! I went to see the fireworks display two towns over last night and it was so beautiful... I don't think I have been to see the actual fireworks since I was a kid.

My card was inspired by the awesome finale fireworks that looked like shimmery pearls in the sky...Happy 4th of July!
