STAMPtember - Day Thirty - Fabulous Finale

I can't believe this is the last day of STAMPtember!!  It's such a magical time of the year, with sooooooooo many new and exclusive stamp releases.  Since it's the final day of one of my favorite months of the year, I wanted to share one of the most important cards I've ever made.  It's also one of my favorites--the wedding card for my brother and sister-in-law.


I had SO MUCH fun making this, too.  The flowers--which were stamped, cut, inked and shaped--were my favorite part.


But I have to say I had this card planned out in my head for months.  I bought these charms specifically for this card, knowing how I wanted to put it together.  A lot of my work forms itself as I put it together, but this sort of just was always going to be just like this.


LOTS of challenges to round out the month:

STAMPtember - Day Twenty-Two - You Gotta Have Friends!!

Anyone who knows me--hell prolly anyone who visits my blog or even my Twitter page--knows that I love TV.  They also most likely know that my favorite show of all time is Friends.  From the first day I watched it, I was hooked.  Friends is the kind of show that makes me roar with laughter even when I've seen it 100 times.  Twenty-three (!!) years ago today, Friends premiered, so I wanted to make a card to celebrate that.



Some challenges for this card:

STAMPtember - Day Thirteen - Happy Birthday Bella!

Bella Swan is thirty today!!!  I know she stopped aging eleven years ago but still.  I'm celebrating!!  I made a card with sort of tomboyish colors.  Bella doesn't run around Forks in pinks and purples, she wears greys and maroons and navys, despite Alice and Rosalie's best efforts!

STAMPtember - Day Eight - Cat's Meow

Happy Friday folks!  WOOHOO!!  For me it means time to buy supplies to make more cards lol.  You? I had a blast making this card.  My favorite thing about it is that it's a Halloween card, but it doesn't HAVE to be a Halloween card.  I like versatility.

STAMPtember - Day Four - Flower Girl

I loooooove this stamp.  I love this stamp and I really love this card.  It just came together so weirdly cute, IMO.  I left a space so I can always add a sentiment but I kind of like it the way it is.  I think of this girl as needing some me time and taking a walk in a garden, picking flowers.
