Just Flyin' By.......

Hi -  you all are most likely sleeping, but for some reason, I CAN'T....Sooooooooooooo......my nephew was is the inspiration for this card ~ he will be FOUR in just a few weeks and this is really gonna make him smile!!  Don't ya just love little boys when they are sweet!!  Now, now, they CAN be sometimes :0) 

The 2 background papers are from Echo Park Paper Co.'s "A Boy's Life" by Michelle Coleman.  I love the background planes that mimic the focal point of the card.  

The red plane pulling the "Happy Birthday" sign is from Taylored Expressions' "Plane Awesome" set (that came with coordinating dies - How FAB is that?)!!!

I embossed the larger, lite-blue ,diagonal, striped paper with Stampin Up's "Clouds", but you probably have to look REAL CLOSE and HARD because it is a subtle detail.

I am entering this card in Sketch it Saturdays at UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES #222


Well, Im off to see if I can sleep now, thanks for stoppin' by and wish me luck!

Cheerful Sunflowers

Happy Hump Day to you all.  Thanks for stopping by!  It has been several weeks since my last post....where do the days go?  It's just been a crazy summer and the upcoming Autumnal Equinox doesn't appear to be promising a slowing down of pace at all....OMG.....

The card I have posted today was inspired by my beautiful sister-in-law...she is such a sweetie pie.  Always cheery and bright eyed, I just love her to death!!!!  This card will be for her up-coming birthday.

 

 

The stamp is Stampendous - "Daisy Thanks", but I colored (Copics) the daisies as sunflowers to meet the challenge, and sunflowers just seemed more appropriate for the time of year!  The beautiful fall color pallette plaid paper is from Echo Park's "Reflections Fall" - and I a hopin' you can see that the centers of these sunflowers were colored and then topped off with Tim Holtz's "Vintage Photo" Distressed Glitter...which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

I am entering this card in two challenges:

• Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - September 15 - Sunflower Surprise

• CAS Colours & Sketches - Sketch Challenge #42

 

Well, wish me luck!  And I hope you stop on back to see what else I have been conjuring up!
