Make Something Cute! with Angel Hawks

Contest Update - Beat by Cookie Monster!

Thank you all for voting for my flowers in the Scrapbooks Etc Craft It Forward contest! Unfortunately, I was beat out by Cookie Monster and Elmo. Sad Face :-( Oh, well.

Here's a new card I made over the weekend. I CASE'd from another blogger, Renee, Inkspirations Challenge #65. I made mine a bit larger and created a little nest from the branch of the bird punch.

I used Night of Navy for the card, Marina Mist for the circle and inside of the card, Ivory for the sentiment, Old Olive for the branches, Crumb Cake for the nest, and Soft Suede for the birds. I inked the branches, sentiment and birds with Soft Suede ink.

I hope you like it. I think it turned out really cute!

Lots Of Bots Birthday

Here's a fun card I made for a guy at the office. Since we are programmers, I thought the binary code in the background was appropriate!

I used the Lots of Bots Stamp Set on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink. Then I colored the robot with my Copic Markers and added some red stickles to the balloon, hat and bag. I inked the edges of each layer with Basic Grey ink. The layers are matted on Basic Black, Crumbcake, Real Red, and Marina Blue cardstock. Hope you like it!

Thanks for looking!

Daisies Workshop Photos

I know I am late with these photos, but I wanted to show everyone how much fun we had building Daisy arrangements this month. We had 14 people help out on Saturday, March 19th with making Daisy Flower arrangements. My son, Jordan, took snapshots of us working with his iPhone! So some shots are better than others.
