Dodgers Update

Hello, just got to work and my co-worker Doreen did not dissapoint.. Here is a picture of the fabulous cake she made. Not bad for it being her first time with this design. She went for simple like the cards I made. I think it looks fabulous. Can't wait to taste it. It's carrot cake! :)

Here I paired the cake with the Dodger Fan card:

And here I paired the cake with the Dodger Chef card:

Till next time...

Dodger Blues

Good morning and Happy Wednesday. The week is almost over and it's raining in L.A! Yesterday was beautiful weather and now it's raining! Ah well, we need the rain, just that it brings out the worst drivers ever! haha..
Today's cards are for a co-worker's birthday. He loves the LA Dodgers so I thought I would attempt to, if not get it correct, at least get part of the uniform matching.. The only item that I could match was the hat.. Aw well, I'm sure he'll like it anyways cause its Dodgers..
First card: Dodger Blue Fan
I used Baseball Ian and altered the hat with the LA Dodger logo. I kept it simple with just blues, grays and some white and a touch of red.. Oh yea and punched circles and made them into baseballs... simple simple..

Second card: Dodger Blue Chef
I used Chef Ian and altered him into a her. Adding a ponytail and changed her eyes and added glasses.. Gotta say it, I love her! haha.. She is sort of a replica of my co-worker Doreen who is a master chef.. She is going to make a cake in the image of the ball that I have here on the platter.. Crossing my fingers she didn't deviate from the plan. Again keeping it simple with blues, grays and some white. Only a touch of color on the cake and the candle.. You probably can't tell but I diamond glazed the cake to make it shine.. Oh and added a little bit of glitter to the candle flame.. Try click on the image to see a close up..

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Wednesday and if you live in Cali, stay dry and drive safe!!!
Aloha!

Well I had some free time today and decided to make a Valentine's day card using the newest TGF WS Stelllllaaaaa... haha.. Just had to do it..
I love the colors here, not your normal Valentine's day colors, (prussian blue, strong red dark pink & white) but I like to mix things up a bit. I wrote in the sentiment in the heart myself...

Here is the inside of the card... Thought it was a cute end to the front as a "Valentine" day sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by... Have a good night...

Card stock: hanko designs indigo paper; dark pinkish red card stock
"love" dp from me & my big ideas
colored with copics: prussian blue & strong red, baby skin pink, blush & light pink

navy blue ribbon

Here is my take on the challenge: Fun with Ruby

I am totally in love with this stamp by CA&F DT Amy Young.. She is just so cute and I was so happy when I got her in the mail last week. I paired her up with some bright pinks, oranges and a hint of apple green.. She was fun to use and I can't wait to use her and her other new friends again.
Supplies:
TGF WS Ruby stamp
Random striped & polka dot dp in pinks, oranges and whites sorry can't remember where I got these from they were loose sheets in my old stack of dp.
Bazzil cardstock for the card in a hot magenta pink, also used for the med flower and the outline of the sentiment; apple green paper for the outline of the oval and the same color for the ribbons and button.
Punches used are nesties large & med flower, and large & med oval; small & med stampin up for the sentiment.
Colored with Copics: E21, YR02, RV06,YG23,E47,YR68 & RV21.
