So what do you think of this little guy?  Cute huh?  Debbie made a card using him on one of our Wednesday card nights many moons ago.  So of course we all had to have him and because she is so kind she gave each of us one.  It's been awhile since I pulled him out to play.
   
I stamped and colored him first.  Added a touch of blue for back ground.
Then added the glitter and  attached the saying.

 The saying  is a CTMH stamp set.
I attached google eyes to really make it pop. 
God made each of us special and unique but if we "Share our similarities, celebrate our differences" what a peaceful and loving world we would live in......God Bless!!

Happy Monday to you.  Mondays always seem to roll around faster then Fridays don't you think? I'm sharing another Rubbernecker character with you today.  This one is very colorful using the paper from American Girl pad.  (you see the pad is sitting on the floor next to my crafting table so its just so convenient to reach...LOL) I don't have any "Bowling Pin" stamps so I cheated and used my computer to print out the bowling pins.  I colored her with Prismacolor markers, cut her out and attached with form tape.  The saying 
is  also a Rubbernecker stamp. 

Wishing you a week filled with many strikes and not to many gutters....

Today I am sharing a card I made using a new stamp set from "Pure Innocence for My Favorite Things"  I saw this stamp set in one of the craft magazine and feel in love with it.   

 I used  Prismacolor markers and the paper is from the
 "American Girl" packet.
  I think she is just so adorable.
I will be using her for my Halloween crafts...Have a Super Great day!!!!

I pulled out my Rubbernecker cartoon characters and I have been coloring away.  These characters are so much fun!!  Rubbernecker also has many quotes and sayings to go along with their characters.  You can go by the Hen House and see some of them for yourself.   


I stamped the golfer and colored him first using Prismcolor  pencils.
  I colored the ground in browns and greens and I drew in the grass.
The leaves were stamped and then color was added. Using a
 sponge I added the blue sky and glued it onto CS and pattern paper.
 Lastly I attached the ribbon, saying and brads.  
Tonight is going to be another no show for me at the Ladies card night.  Hope to make it back soon.

 I know you are probably thinking you just saw this card on my blog and you are right.  I posted one similar to it in July but this one was made for my son Robert who celebrated his 27th birthday this month.  He is not much of a sweet eater so I made cup cakes instead of a birthday cake. (he didn't get the no eating sweets  from his parents..). Here are a few photos.  While maybe more then a few photos..... .LOL




Inside of the card

Using the scallop and circle punch I made these cup cake toppers.
I stamped the foot and the happy birthday.  I  used ink to distress
 and add color then glued them onto tooth picks.

Here are the cup cakes.

Here is the stamp set.
You will find it on page 84 of the CTMH spring/summer catalog.

This is Robert and my daughter Stephanie.
(The lighting in the restaurant was terrible so I only have a few good pictures)
This is Robert's girlfriend Rena and her niece Mila.
 The Mariachis came back later to our table and sang
 Happy Birthday to Robert.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my son's birthday with you.  Have a super great day!!
