Thanks - Made From Items Already on My Desk

I've been in a cleaning frenzy recently. I got tired of my desk being so overloaded with stuff. My actual work area was smaller than a sheet of paper. I've been sorting, purging, and discovering a lot of half-completed cards.

For the next week, I'll be posting cards that are literally made from scraps found on my desk. This cute little robot was already stamped, inked, and even had dimensional adhesive on the back! This card base is small (3x4 inches) and was already cut; same thing with the Cosmo Cricket paper and Papertrey Ink scraps. Even the tiny nut was on my desk; I'm telling you people, it's like an archaeological dig on my desk! The only newly-stamped piece was the cute little Thanks stamp from Lawn Fawn that was included as a little gift in my order. Thanks, Kelly Marie!


We are enjoying our visit with our friends from Austin, who used to live here. Today is their daughter's 7th birthday. We are having a party tomorrow with our closest friends. Have a great weekend!

3 Cute Robots

Hi everyone! With inspiration like Kalino and his robot pencil sharpener, I had to create a robot card...just had to.! Kristina's Color Inspiration Challenge #53 was such a fun challenge. Thanks for using my little guy's photo, Kristina! It's been fun blog hopping and seeing Kalino's picture all over the place.

I love these robot images from My Cute Stamps. I ordered them several months ago. I stamped the "I {heart} robots" sentiment several times on white twill tape with Black StazOn. I paper pieced the eyes of the 3 robots to give them eyes looking in different directions.

Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!

Some Robot Cards

Hi everyone! My little guy has been on Spring Break this week. I've been busy with him. Yesterday, my husband took the day off and we drove to Monterey for the day. We took K to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was very empty....we loved it! The weather was perfect. When we arrived, my husband saw actress, Betty White. I was too busy noticing the woman next to her because she was dressed so chic and elegant.

Here are some cards I made the other day. I just love robot images! These are from My Cute Stamps. They naturally work with papers from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks for looking! I've had an annoying headache since last night. I'm going to get to bed earlier than usual.
