Sunny Side Up ...

Today's card was inspired from the sketch over at The Sweet Stop.  They had a great sketch with the spin of using a sunflower.  Here is my starting point ...

 
This is the finished product ...
 
Stamps:  Sunny Side Up (House Mouse)
Paper:  Apricot Appeal, White (SU)
DP:  Simply Delightful (MME)
Ink:  Memento Black
Accessories:  Copics, gems (Paper Studio), word window punch, pop dots (SU)
 


I'm back from a vacation to New Jersey and a quick weekend trip to Atlanta.  My son went back Auburn yesterday and my daughter left today after a break from her work schedule.  So what does one do when the empty nest hits again ... go to the craft room and make a card. 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

I miss you ...

Wanted to play along with the gals over at MOJO Monday before heading off to NJ to visit my brother.  This was a fun sketch to play with.  Here is what Julee designed ...

and this is what my inky fingers made ...

Stamps:  Elegant Florals (GKD), I Miss You (Stampabilities)
Paper:  Cajun Craze, Baja Breeze, White (SU)
DP:  Simply Delightful (MME)
Ink:  Baja Breeze (SU), Memento Black
Accessories:  Copics, tag die (Cuttlebug), sponge dauber, pop dots, ribbon (SU)
 
Since I put my tag on at an angle, my ribbon had to be angled also.  Hope it doesn't look too stupid.  Maybe the bow will take your eye away from the "crooked" ribbon...lol.
 
Thanks for stopping by and as always ...
 
Have a great day!
