Another Birthday?

Getting in on the NBUS fun with Darnell

NBUS Challenge #12 ~ BONUS LAST DAY!

and her 12th NBUS Challenge.

I couldn't let this one get by, always have played along,

and couldn't miss posting a funny made for my husband's birthday.

Bonnie Krebs and her fun loving images just get me.

Darnell, thank you for the bonus day! 

PS, you have a few more hours to play along!

Hurry! There's prizes!

MIM #216: Adding Color to Cover Plates

Mondays are full of inspiration and instruction.

Laura Bassen has a wonderful video on Papertrey this morning,

showing us how to wow with our cover plates!

My baby boy turns 37 tomorrow!

He loves all things wood, and I found some wood paper I knew would be perfect

for him.

It's actual wood on card stock, and takes ink sponged on just like staining wood!

MIM #189: Impression Line Water Coloring

Played with some new dies and Erin's MIM video 

on Impression Line Water Coloring.

Her lovely bloom was perfection, but I needed a masculine 

birthday card, which I always put off making.

I impressed Star Shaker die, and a star that's in the set, and included the confetti star maker.

The center of the star cut out when I ran it through, but I liked it, so I added some

glitter to a piece from Make It Market, Shakers & Sprinkles Pattern Pack.

I actually had Twinkling H2O's, which gave the neatest sheen to the stars.

'Shine' was cut from Sparkle and Shine Words and a glitter paper I found at Michael's.

Sketched Stars cut from shimmer gold.
