Gone missing!

My mojo disappeared a while back, so I kept busy by reorganizing my unmounted stamps into labeled binders. My bookcase looks marvelous and this system will make things easier for me to find, since I tend to forget where I put stuff.

I discovered some treasures while organizing, including Woman Looking stamp by River City Rubber Works. So I made this card.



She was colored with Copic markers. The patterned papers are from a Bazzill Basics Wayfarer 6x6 padand have a lovely texture. I used an Ideology Compass mask with Distress Ink over the map paper to add an additional design element to reinforce my "missing" theme.

The sentiment strip was computer generated onto MME Lost & Found patterned paper (somehow fitting, don'tchathink?), then punched, then inked with Distress inks. Three Rain Dots were added to the top left to finish off the card.

Thanks for visiting today.

I shall enter this card in the following challenge(s):
• Simon Says Stamp & Show: No Rules challenge

• Craft Your Passions Challenge Blog #124: Power of Three

This should be entertaining!

We're going to a surprise 50th Birthday party for a friend who emphatically told me she did NOT want a party for her 50th. Too bad, so sad.

Here's her card that goes with her special martini glass present.


Here's the inside:


Shockingly, the martini/cupcake image, by Impression Obsession, was colored with Copics. The sentiment on the outside is by Savvy Stamps. The sentiment on the inside is by River City Rubber Works, whose stamps crack me up. But then again, I am easily amused. The teeny martini on the inside is from Inky Antics.

The paper is from the Cupcake 6x6 pad by Basic Grey. It's old, but cute. Like my friend (and like me).

In looking at this, I see a few raggedy edges. I had a stockpile of blade refills, but apparently, I've burned through them. Of course, I was at Michael's today with my trusty coupon. But being a spacy me, didn't remember. *sigh*

Smeared & Smudged April Sketch Challenge

Kelli created another awesome sketch for April's Sketch Challenge over at Smeared & Smudged. Check it out by clicking HERE! There's a prize involved, so get busy!

Here's my take on the sketch.


I made the circle a lot bigger to accommodate the Woman Looking stamp by River City Rubber Works, which meant that the card had to be larger as well. It measures 6x6. The sentiment was computer generated. I used Nestabilities for the ovals, scalloped ovals, and circle. The patterned cardstock is by Memory Box.
