Gobble 'Til You Wobble

I'm determined to post my Thanksgiving/Fall cards before Thanksgiving rolls around.  Its not going to be like last year! I know I wasn't on track last year... because I made this card last year and never posted it! LOL Here it is now:

I used the Teddy Bear on Parade cartridge.  Used SU cardstock and retired SU paper.  Also tied on some linen thread.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Custom Card Monday - On Wednesday!

So I know its Wednesday.  Better late than never with my custom card monday post! I'm actually really behind in everything.  Orders, design team projects, laundry... Just been a crazy few weeks (I had 4 craft fairs in 2 weeks, eeps!) and I really need to get my buns into gear!

Anywho, here's a custom card for ya:

So this request I got came in from Etsy.  She wanted a card for her doctor brother, who was born in the year of the monkey, and her doctor brother also owns a pet tortoise.  She wanted to encompass all of that into a card for his birthday.  So here we go! LOL. The monkey and tortoise was cut out from the CAC cartridge and I got his outfit from Teddy Bear parade.  I actually did some surgery and cut off teddy's head (ouch!) and stuck the monkey head on his body.  Also did some surgery with the tail.  Came out looking pretty good, I think, you know, considering that he's a FrankenMonkey! Cardstock, ribbon, rhinestones, and googlies are all SU, paper is from my stash.

Father's Day Fishing Card

I'm determined to not post my Father's Day cards late (like I did with my Mother's Day cards!) LOL, lets see how I do!  Here's one:

I used the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge to make the cute fishing bear.  Added some chalking and doodle dots to him.  The paper is The Green Stack by DCWV. Just decorated it simply with linen thread and Stampin Up candy dots.
