birthday grrrrrrl

how awesome is this week's sketch from card patterns?!


yeah. i thought so too. especially if you have some funky patterns to do the little circles in. and where there are funky patterns, there might as well also be bling words...and tiny adorable skulls (there's a phrase you don't hear every day!) ...and zebra ribbon! you know, kinda like THIS:

(patterned paper: adrienne looman for prima, doodlebug, textured origami paper, and miscellaneous music note paper; glossy black cardstock: ranger; journaling card: adrienne looman for prima; bling word: mambi (it originally said "girly"...anybody need a rhinestone "y"??!); rub-on alphas: rusty pickle; ribbon: offray; stars cut from vintage game pieces; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, gluedots)

ok, you may have noticed that i cheated very slightly: my rows have five circles each rather than four; four were just not spanning the width of my card adequately, so i improvised. i feel like that's an acceptable adjustment. i would also note that irl, the journaling card is acid green, rather than greenish yellow; a fact i could not get my camera to acknowledge no matter how many times i photo-ed this baby. other than that, i am 100% happy, especially since i can cross another april birthday off my card-making "to-do" list! ♥

  8. Wow! Great animal prints and texture and I'm really digging the little skulls and the bling. Super cool card (of course this is coming from a Grandma, so that probably doesn't count).
