We'll Owl Miss You

Hi All!  Ah, the end of a busy weekend and an even busier work week ahead...it really does seem like the weekends fly by and Sunday night I'm left wondering if there was some breakdown in the time space continuum because even though those around me swear there were two whole days there I'm not totally convinced :)  Anyhoo, enough babbling- on to the card...lol!  Again at work we're faced with someone moving on to greener pastures and I've offered to make a card...this particular co-worker loves owls, and has ordered owl specific cards from me before, so I definitely had a direction to go in from the start.  Since I've used most of my owl things for her already I did need to find a new image so I went to Etsy to see if I could find anything new and came across 2Cute Rubber Stamps and this adorable owl image which I snapped up in digi form.  He was so much fun to color- I just love his glasses!  Once I had him done I set to work with the August sketch over at Graphicat Sketch Challenge and the card came together pretty easily.  The sentiment is my own printed on my computer- it's kind of corny but I couldn't resist the play on words :)  Hope you enjoy it as much as I think she will!

You Make Me Smile

Hi All!  Thank goodness for 3 day weekends :)  I finally got some good coloring/crafting time in and boy did I need it!  I can't say I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow but I am way more recharged than I was before.  One of the cards I can't wait to share is this little beauty.  It's no secret that I love Kenny K images and this one called Download Diva is a particular favorite of mine...she is so much fun to color and you can really do so much with her.  I paired her with a new paper pad I picked up by Lilybee Designs called Picket Fence, I just love the pretty lavender papers in it.  To challenge myself a little I decided to try a new sketch challenge over at Graphicat Sketches and I encourage you to check it out...I fell in love with the sketch when I saw it and I still loved it when I got done with the card which doesn't always happen for me- all because I can't figure out how to use it to its full potential of course :)  And I've got one more place I want you to check out- if you like my ticket sentiment you have to stop by the MMDesigns blog and take a look at the free digital stamp sentiments there- they are totally awesome!  Well, I guess the only thing left is to say I hope this card makes you smile :)
