Celebrate Celebrate

I have several birthdays that I need cards in a short period in November.  I have LOTS of stamps both digital and clear/rubber.  I have been doing cleaning and my Dad did a wonderful job putting up shelves in my basement so I realized how many stamps I have.  So I pulled out stamps that I forgot I had and actually stamped and really used ink along with the sentiment being digital from TLC.  This is really CAS for me.

I have this QKR image that I think is rather silly along with the sentiment and the challenge this week is "Splatters and Sprays" so I thought it would be perfect to use this.  I also used a couple of Spellbinder dies and then also sprayed by paper with some Angel Glimmer Mist in Key Lime to have a little slime green glitter shine.  I guess I wanted some shiney boogers, hehe.  It's that time of year, when people seem to be getting the runny drippy noses.

It's the little things that mean a lot

Kris has this adorable set called Marianne's Hamster releasing today at Imagine That Digistamp.  For my card, I used a sentiment from TLC.  My kids never had a pet hamster, but I have to admit that I have not seen too many digital stamps with one so it is perfect for those of you whose kids have one or a few. I don't think they would work well with my three Siamese cats, hehe.Or at least we have enough entertainment in the house.
