Having Fun!

It's Summer Vacation !

We got out of school last Thursday, and I'm looking forward to having more time to play! I've used most of my Mo images, but I have so many by other artists that I've never even printed out! I'm making it my mission to make cards with some of them this summer.

This image is from Dustin Pike. Don't you love him....ferocious and cute at the same time! I thought he should be breathing fire, so I added the swirls. 

The inside says, "Baby, you can always light my fire! Happy Anniversary!"

Belated Birthday

The inside says, "Sorry this was a little slow getting to you!"

"I'm  Keeping This!"

That's what our grandson said when he opened this on this 11th birthday! He's into WWII and all things military. His mother even painted one wall of his room in a camouflage pattern!

The army insignia was printed on the computer, cut out and glued to the metal disc, then topped with an acrylic  bubble sticker.  I didn't have any gold stars, so I pressed them into a VersaMark pad, then into gold embossing powder, and heated it. Works great!

Inside it says, "And enjoy your birthday!"
