Pretty Pumpkin -found among the Halloween stamps

I am not sure when I created this card, but I found it when I was searching for my halloween stamps.. so if this is duplicate, my apologizes.   

I have a habit of making Halloween pumpkin with punch art. I like the look of them, since I can get the color I want & its pretty simple... its just time consuming. 

 

The swirl on the this card must have been a die I once had because I went searching for it and its not around. I like it though! 

 

I even managed to stamp the inside, with a roller! WAHOO! I was proactive when I did this design! 

  

Have a great day!

Mr. Poppers Penguins ... almost

 I had this great idea to use Penguins are a card, then they got too big for a card, so I thought they would make great tags... however the Penguin making got outta control! ... since I was making like 15!! (reminded me of Mr. Poppers Penguins movie). 

   

I didn't know what use for eyes, and so I grabbed some google eyes I had left from Halloween, put they were too small, so I searched in the kids old craft making/project bin, and found larger ones, which made them come alive! 

 

Arent they cute?  I used a few different punches: circle, modern label, oval, ornament, fancy flower. It was fun to put together, as notably, you cannot make just one!

Little Birthday Bug

Ahhh April birthdays... just when I thought I have them covered, more keep popping them up.

I went with BUGS for starters.  Lady Bug, Dragonfly, whatever I could find ..then I remembered some punch art I had seen pooping up on the Blogsphere.

So here is my version: 

   

I added some glitter to the wings. I used adhesive sheets from SU! so I could just punch out the shape I wanted. WAY TOO EASY!!!

 

Much to my dismay, my daughter said this looked "young"... at almost 15, she has quite an opinion on my cards nowadays. I do not believe I will be showing her the clown I made for a 8 year old - that might not be "fitting" for him... oh well.

Eskimo kiss

 I have two teens... two totally different people. I have a passionate one and one that gives it to me straight.  Yes, I have a daughter and a son. Though my son is the oldest, my daughter pulls a close second with her mature personality and adult nature.

We had some snow this weekend. Which meant I had an assignment - to take take pictures of my daughter for her portfolio... what a "fun" job! .. however it was 22 degrees out - and tromping around in the 4 inches of snow wasn't as much fun!  

I got 65 pictures snapped - in which she like 15 of them... figures... though I love her - she drives me crazy!  She owes me...{wink wink}

Her payment ..??   She gave me cold Eskimo Kisses!

The punch art was totally CASEd from Ellen Kemper. I have been holding on to this for a long long time! I finally could use it  - and I love it!   Using all sorts of circle punches, oval punches, heart punches it all came together with only a few redos!   I used Marina Mist  and Wild Wasabi, with Very Vanilla. They cardbase is spritzed with Vanilla Smooch.
