Another flocking card! A Birthday Challenge!!

I had a lot of free time this afternoon and decided I still felt the need to craft...so I did!  I love a good challenge and often visit a blog called Inkin' It Up Crazy: http://inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com/ a blog by a wonderfully creative woman named Kassidy.  So I decided to make a birthday card using my Create-A-Critter Cartridge yet again!  I even pulled out my mini sewing machine one more time and sewed around this card too.  I'm still trying to figure out how to get the hang of the sewing--guess I need to keep practicing. 

And of course I had to flock again... I am sooooo addicted!  I LOVE it!  Sooooo fun, sooooo easy and adds just the right tough

This card is for a friend who has a GINORMOUS collection of giraffes!  I hope she likes it....hmmmmmm perhaps it will have to be a super early birthday card as her birthday isn't until the end of August :)  Guess I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the game!  Enjoy!

Just Chicken In

Hi there just "chicken" in....hilarious if you ask me.  Today I stopped at a new stamp store I'd never been to before and picked up some yellow flocking and this cute little chicken stamp along with a couple of other goodies I most certainly probably didn't need--but spent less than $20 so I was quite pleased with myself.  I have been dying to use my new MPS Even More Punnylicious set but couldn't find the right chicken to use, but I think this one shall have to do!   

I also stopped by the lovely and talented ladies at http://www.stamping411.blogspot.com/ and decided to again play with the great sketch they have posted for their Saturday Sketch Challenge.

Flocking Obsessed!

Oh dear I hate to admit it but I am officially obsessed with flocking...seriously I better hide my flocking and my Create-A-Critter Cartridge because clearly I just can't stop using either one.  I am in love with this little monkey--heck I know I say that about all of the little critters I cut with that cutie cartridge.  For this card I aslo used my cuttlebug again and I must say I love that little machine--it adds soooo much without any work at all.  Ugh please ignore the not clean edges it's clearly time for me to replace the blade on my trusty old cutter.
