I'm So Excited, I Just Can't Hide It....

Ok so I am stuck in the 80's but I do have some new news. Are you ready?

I am going to be a member of my most favorite stamp company's design team - EAT CAKE GRAPHICS. You know how I love these stamps. I have been using them for years and have tons of them. So I am pretty dang excited and very honored to have been chosen.

I just hope that I can do some worthy putzing. So please stop by //http://www.eatcakegraphics.com/ and take a look at all the wonderful stamps. There is also a technique site with some additional eye candy.

And don't forget to stop by here to see if I am up to the challenge. I have my thinking cap on and I am ready to go.

Hugs,
Annie

Here's Maggie

Here is the great white huntress. She loves to hop on toads and run down mice. Before she goes to bed, we have to go outside and remove all the toads from her yard. She finds them and I scoop them up and toss them into the neighbors yard. Hard to believe she is almost a year old. She was born in Oct. Works perfectly, because both Mike and I have October birthdays. I think a party is in order this year for sure.
Thanks for stopping by.

A Little Lift

I saw a card that used the background that you see here and really liked it. Want to try it and put my own spin on it. The colors don't really show up as nice as they look in real life. These cards went to two very wonderful friends for their birthdays.

The squares are made using a template and sponging colors in. I stamped the flowers and the sentiments over the colors. The rest were stamped, colored with copics and then cut out and attached.

Stamps - Sentiment Stampers Anonymous, Flower - Penny Black, Butterfly - Savvy, Presents - Paper Artsy, Little Girl - Unknown. Hat - Lost Coast Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by.

Oh to be creatin' agian

This was done for one of the guys at work. Him and his wife just had their first baby. I borrowed the template from my friend Julie. Very easy and quick baby card.

This card was done for my friend Suzie for a belated birthday wish. The dog stamp is Whipper Snapper and the sentiment is Stampers Anonymous. Colored with Copics.

I love this centipede from Whipper Snapper. I stamped him and cut him out so he is mounted on the card with foam thingies. The Live it Up and Happy Birthday are Hero Arts Stamps that my adorable friend Tina sent to me. I drew the cake. Used copics to color. I like copics. Decided to take a class to really learn how to use them.

My funny centipede again. Made this card for a gal at work who had knee surgery. ISH.

The only stamping here is the heart and the For Me which are both from Purple Onion Designs. I free handed the rest. Colored with copics. The card went to one of the gals on my team at work. We both love pie and basset hounds.

This card went to our elderly lady friend for her 86 birthday. I forgot who makes the butterfly stamp and I am being rather lazy cause I am not going to get up and walk over to where I have it on a shelf and look. Birthday sentiment is Purple Onion Designs. I also used on of the embossing templates for the flowers on the brown cardstock. I kinda like that look.

This card was one I did for card club. I bought the CRS stamp ages ago and this is the first time I have ever used it. Tina sent me the cute chickie. I liked the design of the butterfly card above so I used up the paper to make 12 of these.

I was experimenting with the technique that the gal at Split Coast Stampers does with the brayer and post it notes. I was pleased with this card until I tried to draw in that road. Hmmmm. The sentiment is Purple Onion Designs and one of my favorites.

This last card went to a gal I work with. I love the simple clean look of this one. I am actually thinking I might adapt for one of my Christmas card designs. The sentiments are Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a gander at my stuff.
