Stamps Ahead

Jayne, Happy Birthday, here is a vitual cake sent to you via cyberspace. Made in China. "sorry no candles". It is full of cream, cream and more cream - I think somewhere in there is a sponge. Then, when you have finished the cake, enjoy this virtual Banana Split from Hagan-daaz, again made in China. As I could not be there to wish you a "Happy Birthday" in person, I enjoyed all of this last Saturday and thought of you. Happy birthday and may you have a great day. Margaret. p.s. I will print these out and scrap 6x6 page and send a copy to you.

Tonight I am participating a cyber stamping challenge over at the INKlings. Kylie is setting some challenges around Christmas. The first challenge was to make a pocket card (using dimensions found at Splitcoast Stampers). Here is my card. I have used Happy Christmas, Mate and used my Watercolour Wonder Crayons to get a colourful image. Here is the second card I made tonight from a sketch found at http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/2008/07/taylored-expressions-cupcake-challenge_11.html I have made my own background as I did not pack any Designer Series Paper!

One of the teachers is celebrating a birthday tomorrow, here is a card I made for him. I bought limited stamp sets that could be used for a male, so I have used Level 1 hostess set - A Little Bit of Happiness. I taped over the words 'thank you' for stamping into Versamark, took the tape off, stamped onto watercolour paper and then using Watercolour Wonder Crayons painted the images. I stamped several of the images onto the Olive Green card. He has recently built a new home and has started his roof top garden and is it now Autumn this card seemed appropriate.
