It's CLEARLY Your Birthday!

Good morning friends!  A happy Tuesday to you all!  My son starts school tomorrow and boy is he ever happy about it...hear the sarcasm?  How will he get the time he needs to play his video games?  LOL!  Mom, however, is excited for him to get back on the routine...quiet all day long!  Woot!

Today I want to share an acetate card that I made using the new Teddy Bear Messages set by Wink Wink Ink!  I love acetate cards...they are always unexpected!  Now usually I will add some paper to the inside of the card to write on, but this time I opted to leave it off.  I wanted all the focus to be on the bear {and his bare bear butt on the inside}.  When I make an acetate card like this I'll just add a piece of thin, folded card stock to the inside for my message.  What do you think of this lil cutie?

Have a great day!

Bye Bye Flutter By!

***This is my 2nd post today...please scroll down for Sketchbook Wednesday by The Digi Shack!***

Good morning again everyone and Happy Hump Day!  It's time for Flutter By Wednesday...a sad one for me, but it was time to give the other ladies their time on the team.  Today is my last post as a Design Team member for Flutter By Wednesday.  I've been along for the ride watching this challenge grow week by week for over a year now.  Danni has been the best leader and working with all the girls has been a real joy.  Thank you all for your awesome comments and your friendships.  I do hope that you'll continue to come by to see me.

Okay, now on to my card.  This week is an open week, so all you need to do is use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.  I used this awesome glitter paper from BoBunny, Martha Stewart punch and the sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You.

Be sure to check out the rest of the creations by the design team...links on my sidebar.  Stop by the Flutter By Wednesday blog to see the beautiful new look too!  :O)

My card this week is acetate! I always love the way these look! Let me know what you think. :O) I stamped the butterflies on the acetate using Stazon. The white circle is attached to the front of the card. I cut another one the same size to attach to the inside so you can't see the glue. The hot pink layer is attached to the inside back for my writing and another is attached to the back so I could add my copyright stamp to it.

My First Acetate Cards

Hi all. I have been wanting to try some clear cards for a while now. I finally had a reason...a Yahoo group that I'm in had it as the project of the month for February. WOOT! Let me know what you think!

This one was stamped with white Stazon Ink.

This one was stamped with white Stazon ink and then I colored in the flowers and added the shadows with my Copics. Rhinestones were added as well.

This one I tried rub-ons. I like it, but they didn't want to stay stuck at the edges of the card.

This one is stamped with black Stazon ink.
