Sassy Studio Designs, Stephanie's BD card

My daughter Stephanie loves My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn.  I found this digi stamp at Sassy Studio Designs and fixed it for her card.  I used a black feather and a white feather from a couple of boas for the feathers in her hat. The dress does have embossing ink on it to emulate the lace dress but it doesn't show up. I used a black Prismacolor pencil to color the stripes and her hat rim and top and also a crimson pencil for the flower.  The black and white stripe ribbon is one I have had a while.  I embossed the white panel with a Darice Damask embossing folder.

Squigglefly Cabin Retreat (Billy's BD card)

This is the card is made for Billy's birthday.  I computer generated the name on the tree.  The image is a Squigglefly digi image called Cabin Retreat.  I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to color it and Stickles for sparkle on the water and also a tiny dot of yellow Stickles in the window and door to look like light shining out.

Janice's BD card 2013

Since I am cannot sleep and am up at this time of the morning I thought it would be as good a time as any to post a card.  This is Janice's BD card for 2013.  Since Janice's BD is in July and she loves birdhouses I thought this card would be perfect for her.  I have had this stamp for years and have never used it.  It is a stamp from Stamps Happen.  I used my normal Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to color it and stickles for the sparkle in the stars.

SFC2613 Purple Passion

This is a card I made for Kathy's BD card this year.  It is an image from Squigglefly called Simple Pleasures Birdbath by Maria Shega. The purple, yellow, and green cardstock is coredinations.  It is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  The butterflies are from Fred She Said which I printed on yellow cardstock and cut out with scissors and popped them up so they would look kind of 3D.  The vines behind the butterflies on the sides are an SVG from Penny Duncan Creations called vines.  I went over the saying on the card with Clear Star gelly roll pen.  I am entering this into Squigglefly challenge SFC2613 Purple Passion.

Melba's BD card 2013

This is Melba's birthday card I made using gemstones cardstock in pink diamond (I found there are several named this) so the name is GX-GEM180-12 and the white is gemstones pearl both by coredinations and have a shimmer. The larger pearls are from Jolee's boutique and the small pearls are by bridal collections by David Tutera. The lacy design is a free cut file from BirdsCards.com.  I googled center step cards and got this template from Grace Nywening at th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.com at this post http://th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.com/2011/05/fathers-day-center-step-and-directions.html.  I then just resized it to fit a 5x7 envelope.  The tulips are from FredSheSaid and were colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  The swirly around the tulips are a Spellbinders die.  I used a hotglue gun to glue the pearls down really good (I hope) because I hate for things to come apart!  A hotglue gun should never be issued to a non-licensed user, I had enough strings that I could have sewn a quilt!!

Bear sighting in Cades Cove

Last week Marc and I went to Cades Cove for a little while and it was a wonderful day.  This is a mommy bear and two cubs that were right beside the road and then a view from Maloney Point.
