FLAMINGO LINGO

HEY BLOGGIES,

Today I have a card I made for the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY challenge.  It is also MY sketch we are working off of today:

And here is my card made with the sketch:

 I used whisper white, basic black, pool party for the card stock colors.

Petite petal punch to punch out the flower, which is part of the Flamingo Lingo stamp set.  Oval Framelets sponged.  And the Lovely Amazing You photopolymer set for the cute feathers.  The flamingo and feathers are fussy cut and put up on Stampin' Dimensionals to pop off the card.

Thanks for stopping by.  Did I mention if you purchase the Flamingo Lingo stamp set then Stampin' Up! donates to the Ronald McDonald house a portion of the price?  Fun stamp and doing something worthwhile all at the same time!!  WIN=-=WIN SITUATION FOR SURE!

CUTE STICKY NOTE HOLDER AND PEN GIFT

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have been making these cute sticky note holders both with and without attached mini pens.  They are so fun to make and give as little gifts to friends.

 Here is one I made for a friend's birthday.  It is following the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CHALLENGE.  Here is the sketch:

Here is a closeup of the project.  I used Gorgeous Grunge for the background and Flamingo Lingo for the flowers and sentiment.  I

Here is an embossing folder decoration with an oval punch and stamped flower.  A stamped and punched butterfly adorns  the flower.

SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY -- WISHING FOR SPRING

HEY BLOGGIES,

My card today is showing you that I am WISHING FOR SPRING.  Flamingos are a tropical bird and I would love to be feeling the tropical heat and sunshine right now.  We aren't as bad as New England is for sure, but I am sick of the cold wet weather we are having in February.  My pasture is just one big mud pit for my horses.  With all the MUD on them they pretty much look like dirty little homeless beggars!!  Black mud up past their knees!!

Anyways, here is the sketch challenge for this week's SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY:

And here is my take on the sketch.  For some reason, I just couldn't do only 3 flamingos.  I had to do four.  Oh well, four is my lucky number anyway so that's ok, right?

This is the charity set that Stampin' Up! donates a portion of the sale of this stamp set to the Ronald McDonald House each year.  It is called FLAMINGO LINGO.  These flamingos are so fun in different colors, aren't they?

 A closeup so you can see their cute expressions.  I absolutely L.O.V.E. their knobby knees!!

This would classify as a Clean and Simple card I believe.  I used a mask so each flamingo could be real close to his "buddy" without stamping on top of him.

Thanks for visiting.
