Googly Eye Father's Day

Such a fun card to put together. The googly eyes just fell into place when I put the eye glasses on. The mustache, glasses and tie come from Spellbinder's Hipster 2 Dies, the striped background is unknown and the greeting is from Stampin' Up's! Thoughtful Banners and Sugar Pea Designs Terrific Ties. This card came together quickly and I am sure it would make a thoughtful impression... and cause a giggle or two.

For the daughters of men with mustaches,

I'm Here for You Wave Card

I can't stand it when I see a flaw in a card after I photograph it and post it to my blog.... this one... oh. Look at how crooked that greeting is and the right edge is so crooked and hanging off the edge. Makes my stomach turn. I have to be able to let those things go. Deep breath. Right? I see so many mistakes after the fact... I am learning to relax. :) I do like the look of the wave on the blue though.

I'm glad when people I need are there for me,

Happy Everything Sunshine

Another card that was up for publication that didn't make the cut. This card made me smile from ear to ear, so happy! Only one stamp used, In a Word: Happy from Winnie and Walter. The clouds are Simon Says Stamp Cloud Bank, Happy die from Altenew and Sunburst Die from Stampin' Up!

Happy everything to you,

Alicia

Framed Congratulations

The next few posts I'll be showing some cards that I had submitted to publication. Unfortunately they weren't accepted, but you can't blame a girl for trying. I love the non traditional colors of this card and the layering of the yellow flowers. Good stuff.  The floral centers come from Altenew's Floral Art stamp set, the greeting comes from Concord and 9th's Happy Day, the flowers are Altenew's Floral Shadow and the lined background is from Picket Fence Studios, Rough Around the Edges.

Here's to giving it a good ol' try,

Alicia
