Dad's bday card & dumb excuses

Hello non-existing readers!  I'M BAAAACK.  Again.  I don't want to know how long I've been absent...I just want to blog & scrap!

To restart: here is a birthday card I put together for my dad's 55th.  The totally awesome rays in the background was created by using one of Tim Holtz embossing folders and Fired Brick Distress Ink.  I recently got these amazing stamps from Close to My Heart.  LOVE EM!  I was so excited when I found out my gal pal Sharon was selling Close to My Heart stuff!  EIIIII!  Click her name and you'll go to her blog, which makes me drool over the scrapiness!  I wanted to make the card look like a comic book panel, and I'm pretty happy with the results.  The distress ink helped me shadow the layered cityscape.  I also used black StazOn Ink!  Can't forget that!  Must use these stamps again!  :)

Thank You Card

Love quick & dirty thank you cards.  They always turn out great! 

Here I used tim holtz paper rosette die, peeled paint distress ink, and a large cling background stamp with a little glitter.  Love the quickie glue pens & they added a little shine to this card.  I used a wood mounted thank you stamp, but sorry, no idea the maker!  Then cut out the design and glued it on the rosette.  Sweet!  My fav thing about this card is the ribbon- forgot I had purchased a xyron sticker maker at a scrapbook yard sale.  I recently saw one being used on youtube, remembered I have one, dug it out, bought the sticker stuff, and now it sits on my desk READY FOR ACTION!

Deadlands RPG

Hey my invisible internet buddies!  I'm currently trying to roll up a character to play Deadlands:Reloaded.  My initial thoughts is OMG rolling for skills is a little confusing, but I look forward to starting the game!  I'm creating an undertaking lady of the night named Sarah Jones.  Her father was the original undertaker of the town and zombies attack so she takes a shovel and helps out.  Snicker.  More coming soon.
