Pinterest & the Grinch

I had a blast doing this card and totally

surprised myself.

I do not have a lot of confidence in drawing

my own stuff so therefore, 

 when I make cards, I punch, die cut, stamp

and fussy cut  but never "draw."

But, once again pinterest comes through and I love it.

 I actually free-styled those eyes, brows, and most

importantly that Grinch grin.

And don't forget the nose.

I totally surprised my bad self.

And that makes me wanna do more.

This card is another favorite of mine.

Rockin' another birthday boy

Had a lot of fun making this page.

Love the colors.

And what about those bats you might ask.

 Well.

 The birthday boy is Sam, a batman loving boy

and that was the theme of his party.

You may remember his impersonation of batman here in

case you missed my awesome handstitched 

bat mask.

Hence, the bats.

So Sam is the big 5.

It brings on lots of responsibility like

Kindergarten and everything.

The big 10

 That magical double digit number that almost

makes you a kid and not a little kid.

 I picked this paper because the symbols looked

like a Q to me.

I decided to highlight them on the page in case

I was wrong but I could still make them look like a Q.

The orange color was plucked from

Quintin's, the birthday boy's, tee shirt.

Let me know what you think.

It's an 8x8 size for the mom's album.

Love that camera.

I have a package of them and OHMY - no bottlecap.

It wasn't like I didn't try.

LOL.
