For the Boys

Hi y'all!
Happy Thursday! I'm working Thurs and Friday this week, which sux a little (even I hate working Fridays, though I only have a 2 day week!) but I'm covering for another Supervisor at work so at least it's not a regular thing.
Here are some cards I've made for Boys lately! I realised, while going through my card box, that I didn't have a great selection of Boy Cards, even though I seem to have a pretty good collection of boy stamps. So  I set about to rectify that!

What boy doesn't like a Dinosaur? Yeah, not many! I used a bit of black and white striped Baker's Twine on this card too, seeing as I have to stop myself using ribbon (for fear it might be a bit girly, I can't stop myself all the time though-see the monster card below). I think I might have been on a bit of an "orange-card-roll"...

I {heart} this little pirate from Lizzie Anne Designs. I won it in a comp on their blog many moons ago and he's been so much fun to stamp and colour in. I use my Stampin write markers from Stampin Up to colour him in, I love all their colours. The Ahoy Matey I got from LAD too. Oh, also hooray for using up lots of small paper scraps on these cards {giving self a pat on the back.} I'm always happy to use up my stash!

The sentiment and little pirate head on this second pirate card are both from The Cat's Pajamas. I got them online from their store about 400 years ago and I've used the pirate head, like, twice. Hooray for using it a third time! {music blaring & streamers falling from roof!} LOL!.

Monster Card for Jai's friend Piet from Playgroup's 1st Birthday. He had a Monster party which was quite cool. His Mum had gone to a bit of effort with the food and decorations (which I'm used to with our family, but it's nice to attend one that I didn't have any input for! LOL!), even though there was only 6 kids there (plus parents). My fave thing was a giant watermelon "monster" that was spewing fruit out it's jaggard-cut watermelon mouth. so cool! LOL! {giggles}
Hope you like the cards!

Some girly Cards...

I finally got to make those princess and ballerina cards I wanted to on Sunday! I got up super early yesterday morning and had to forego my morning run in exchange for getting in some creative time. Feeling a little guilty for not exercising, but it feels like forever since I've created something!! Then when I got home from Thursday night shopping I made 2 more cards, happy happy me!

I love these Lizzie Anne Designs stamps, aren't they just the sweetest-faced little girls! I dug out all my prettiest paper pieces to make some sweet cards for little girls. Not sure if you can see it but I blinged up her Tutu with my Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen, so sweet!

I won a LAD competition last July and so got 2 sets and 4 individual stamps to add to these 2 Ballerina themed stamps and would you believe I still had 1 whole set and the 4 individual stamps that had never seen ink! Argh!! Well the princess set has finally seen ink with these 2 cards. I blinged up the heart paper with my gelly roll pen too and coloured some parts of her dress with it also. I love those pens, I think I'll be spending a lot on Stationary when we go to Japan!

And I had to mix it up a bit away from the pink theme so did a green/purple theme for this princess.. I think she looks quite funky in her 2 tone dress! Lol! Yes, I know, this Chatterbox paper is about 40 million years old, but it is so sweet! I think I only have one tiny tiny piece of it left (thank goodness actually, I'm kinda sick of seeing it in my stash!) And I'm using up scraps which is heading towards good news for my NYResolution! I have no plans for the weekend... so I'm hoping for many more creative hours!

Lizzie Anne Designs Birthday Challenge!

Here is a gorgeous little card I made for the Lizzie Anne Designs Birthday Challenge.

You had to use at least 75% LAD stamps and it just so happened that I managed to find 2 LAD stamps at the Darling Harbour Craft Show back in June! And aren't they just gorgeous! I haven't seen LAD stamps anywhere else in Australia but I'd love to get some more. So happy for the internet!! The little Ballerina is just SO cute :) and I love a pink and green combo. (If you're wondering how come I used pink... my Pink Free Week ended on Thurs.. HA!)
