Together Forever

Tonight someone contacted me and asked me if I could make them a "Congratulations on your Engagement" card for a family member who had just recently became engaged.  Being as I do not have that many "bridal" type stamps, this is my "go to" for a Anniversary, Engagement, Love, type card.  Not mushy - but CUTENESS I do believe.  Plus, using the birds on the card tonight, happened to permit to partake in the challenge going on over at Crafty Creations here.  The theme this week was  "For the Birds" so my card certainly fit the bill - or is that beak?  I know, corny, but its getting late!  Here is the card I made:

What do you think?  I love this color combination together and I just think those birds are so darn cute together!




Card Ingredients:
Stamp:  Stampin Up! Cheep Talk and Fun & Fast Notes
Paper:  Stampin Up! Bermuda Bay, Summer Sun
Ink: Stampin Up! Bermuda Bay Melon Mambo
Misc: Dotted Swiss Embossing Folder, Stampin Up! Bermuda Bay Ribbon, Stampin' Up! Dimensionals

Nuts About You!!!

Well, here I sit in Charleston, SC, where it is supposed to be nice and sunny and it is a dreary, 34 degree kind of day with icy rain falling.  Can't complain though when the boss man calls and tells you to stay home off the dangerous icy roads!  "Craft room here I come!" I exclaimed early this morning.

So, I snooped around the internet and found the weekly challenge going on over at The Cat's Pajamas here and knew I wanted to play along.  This week's challenge was using the theme of "Love".  It did NOT have to be a Valentine's card, but something showing "love" and I knew the exact stamp I wanted to use.  So, I whipped this little baby up:

Do you not just LOVE that little squirrel and his collection of nuts?!  Hard to tell from the photo but I used dimensionals to "pop" the squirrel off the little log and then also "popped" a few nuts up on the nut pile for a little 3-D effect.


I hope everyone else is staying warm today!
