Bookmark: Glittery Dinosaurs!

When my grandchildren are allowed to pick out their own paper, they usually have glitter paper in mind!  Jakob just finished kindergarten and is reading every day so he can be ready for first grade in the fall.  This is the bookmark he designed - until I can find a dragon stamp for his bookmark.  😊

Bermuda Bay and silver glitter paper are his colors of choice.  Old Bones and the matching dies (Dave's Dies) were his choice of designs. 

Masculine: Celebrate with Watercolor Background

I have been enjoying experimenting with watercolor paper.  The background used five different colors with lots of spritzing and sponging.  Too bad I covered up most of the beautiful background.

Colors:
Early Espresso
Soft Suede
Crumb Cake
Sahara Sand
River Rock
Dusty Durango
Mossy Meadow

Stamps:
Irish Blessing background
Timeless Texture
Gorgeous Grunge
Beautiful You

Other:
Banner dies (from Dies by Dave)
Metal gear
Linen thread

Baby: Zoo Babies in a Box

I like the card in a box design, but this card is quicker - and more traditional for the recipients.  I absolutely love how this card turned out!  This card is for my son's friend, Chris; Chris and Kaitlyn just gave birth to Ellie.  My son's daughter is Ella.  Interesting they both chose such similar names.

Birthday: Happy Birthday with Cupcake and Fireworks

I ordered both of these dies from Dies by Dave.  Since they did not match any stamp set, I wasn't sure how to use them, but they created a quick and easy card.  Colors are Night of Navy and Soft Sky.  Lots of bling.

Birthday: The Sky is the Limit

I love the masculine feel of this stamp set.  I am sure this set will be a favorite of mine.  Aaron made this card for a coworker.
