Bag of a Birthday

 I made this card a long time ago.  I hate hate hate the coloring.  I decided to use markers and I hate it.   Can you tell that I HATE it.  I do like the layout.  This was very easy to do.  I also don't use the stamp-a-ma-jig very often, but when I tried to stamp the 3 images with out it, it did not line up very well.  So out came the stamp-a-ma-jig.   I love the designs of stamps that SU has, but I also love clear stamp because there is no guessing work when stamping.

Charlie Horse Ballons

First off....Happy New Year.   I am sorry I have not posted in the last 2 months.   I have been pre occupied with Christmas and such.   I don't really have any other excuse, other then I just didn't make the time to post.   Then My computer DIED....died....dead.   (really Honey, I didn't do it on purpose)  So, we ordered a new iMac for me.  Well it arrived today.  This is the first post.  I can't wait to try all the new things there is to do.   I know for sure that money will not be being spent on crafting for awhile.  I must use what I haven't used first before I go and buy anything new.  So you Crafting God out there....STOP....putting out so much cool cute stuff for the next 6 months so I don't feel bad about not buying it all.   

I made this card in October, I have a bit of stuff that I have taken pictures of, but haven't written anything up yet.   Stay tuned.   I was also thinking about only posting a couple times a week instead of what I was doing before.  I set up a 4 to 5 posts a week challenge for my self and I have failed miserably.  So maybe a couple times is better.  

I had the idea to do this card the moment I saw this super cute stamp set. Once I got in on paper, it is not as good as I would have liked.....meh oh well. I paper pierced the balloons

Bitty Birthday 3x3 trio

Ok, I am really enjoying this little set. Can't believe I didn't notice it before in the catalog??? Sure Stampin up is going to discontinue it now. I can see myself doing lots with this set.


On the card with the balloons, what I did was stamp and colored my image, then took my paper piercing tool and poked holes in the bottom of the balloons, then ran the string ribbon from the front of the image to the back and taped it down, then once I put the image on my card base I then trimmed the ribbon to length
