I dragged out my Paper Whimsy images and have been playing around and creating a few cards. Made this first one for a friend who has a birthday this month. Since I just mailed it yesterday, she has not received it yet, so I will keep the recipient a secret. Hope she will enjoy the card. I thought the face on this little girl looked a bit annoyed, so I wanted to add a fun sentiment that fit the photo. In case you are wondering, the flowers on the bottom of the card are rub-ons. I don't normally have a lot of colorful rub-ons (I tend to get just black or white ones), but I really liked these!!
This one was made with another Paper Whimsy image and then I just started using all the scraps and a little frame I've had around for a while. (The little danglie clock is not crooked, just the way I scanned it). The sentiment on the top is a rub-on.
Here is another card using the same image as the first, but this one was in black and white, so I added a little color to the dress, face, and hands. I just tried to use up some more scraps of papers and other odds and ends I had around.
Hope your week is going well. Miss B is suffering with a cold, so she is a bit under the weather, but unfortunately having to take her quarter finals. She ended up missing all her dance classes last night, but she was able to get a nap in the afternoon, so she felt a little better while she was studying in the evening. Today is the last day of quarter finals, then tomorrow is the PSAT. I think she is really looking forward to Friday, because it is a teacher workday, thus no school. That means a little extra sleep for me too...YEAH!!!
Gosh I just love your work. And those Paper Whimsy images are about the best I've seen!

Your cards are wonderful. It's so much fun using up those scraps and now I have to add some Paper Whimsy images to my wishlist. They are great. I love the sentiment on the first one - funny.

These cards are gorgeous and the face on the girl is too darn cute. I love the frame around the boy on the second card. Very cool.
