Harvey's First Birthday

There is a special little man turning one today in our family, so he needed a special card.  I pulled out the Zoo Babies Giraffe from Art Impressions, and coloured him up with Copic markers.  I used the Babycakes papers from Close To My Heart, because they work so well with this little guy!

 After using my sewing machine to zigzag the polka dot paper on the base with some bright orange thread, I fussy cut the giraffe out, and adhered him with pop dots:

Happy Birthday, Harvey!

Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - post #3!

I'm on a roll, with my third post of the day for the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!  I hadn't planned on getting this many cards done for the hop, but the other two were already scheduled, and I had time to put this one together tonight.  This Giraffe Set from Art Impressions has always made me smile... and it just happens to be one of the two stamps sets that Ai is giving away as a Flash prize on the hop!

Patterned papers are Sweet Summertime, Echo Park; Cardstock is Brown Bag, Crystal Blue, Pear & Glacier, CTMH; Copic Markers; Die is Cups of Cheer, Memory Box; Stamp set is Giraffe Set (Sku #4190) by Art Impressions; YNS Gumdrops.

Mocha, vodka, valium latte to go...

 I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today!  Now, if you're a scrapbooking Mom who has taken your kids to the zoo... chances are you have some giraffe patterned paper kicking around... (raise your hands, you know who you are!).  So when I sat down to make today's card, I thought hmmm... and sure enough, I had not one, but two pieces of giraffe patterned paper!  He was so much fun to colour - here's what I came up with using Giraffe Set (Sku #4190):
