Rock n' Roll card!

Hey there Bleeps!
I hope your week is blessed so far. For today's card, I used a sketch challenge from OWH. But this card I am giving to the youth counselor at our church, (I will try to use this sketch later for a card for the troops). It's his birthday, so I thought I'd let the kids give him this. He plays the guitar and sings in the worship band too, I sure hope he likes it.
Things are going great so far with my oldest son since he has been back home. But please continue to pray for us......he has a long road to travel with his life: Aspergers, depression and anger problems are always a difficult thing to have to overcome in a young man's life! But with God's help, I know we will get through this as a family!
Thanks so much for stopping by, have a awesome week!;)

Happy Birthday and Many S'mores!

Hey there Bleeps (blog peeps!)
Today's card I made for my kid's friend birthday!!! I got this stamp set FREE from Stampin' Up!.....just one of the many reasons I love being a demo. FREE is my favorite word, LOL!!! I had to ink it up as soon as I got it.....I'm quite impatient!!! So, I stamped the gruff little bear on card stock twice and cut him out. The s'mores were inked and stamped on card stock too....I used some liquid applique' for the marshmallows and then heat set it to make it puff up. I may have gotten a tad crazy on making the bear a messy eater, LOL!!! But, this is for a 9 yr old's bday, so it doesn't matter as much, I don't think he will mind!!! I just couldn't stop and now he looks like he might be foaming at the mouth....and if you've ever seen my kids eat their s'mores, it fits....hehehehe!

 I used Crystal Effects on the chocolate part, so it has a shine. A few years ago my sister gave me some clear gel tacky glue from Aleene's and said it was "similar to CE"....so, I never bought any from SU! before. Well, I got this bottle FREE  (gotta love FREE, right?)....so anyways, just for the record.....Crystal Effects is nothing like the clear gel glue!!! I'm in love with this CE now and I could just kick myself for not buying it earlier!
Anyways, I chose the sketch over at Operation Write Home since I already had the pieces cut and ready to go, this card took maybe 5 minutes to complete, LOL!!

Well, thanks so much for visiting me today and have a great rest of the week!!! ;)
