Another Adorable Riley

Here's another too cute Riley. Those girls over at Hanna Stamps really know what they're doing with him and Sophie huh?? I can't wait to get my hands on the new ones that just came out. My order went in yesterday soooo I am sitting here with itchy fingers waiting for the e-mail that says they're postal. This Riley was made using the WSC36 sketch.You can't really see it but I use stickles to make the shovel sparkle and the boots have dots of stickles in them too. The links are below to the Riley's and the WSC 36 over at Beate's Blog. The Riley's link if for the unmounted ones. She also sells them mounted. This Riley is headed to Iraq also in that box for Beate's DH. Just a little something to spread cheer for Beates DH who so gerously offered to spead the cards around.

For my BFF

My BFF has a birthday coming up this month and the card will be on it's way tomorrow. We've known eachother since high school. I won't even say how long ago that was.. anyway here's her card.

RAK for Iraq

Beate was collecting cards to send to her hubby for him to distribute to soldier's in Iraq. I e-mailed and asked her for the address to send a box myself rather than mail to her to mail to him. There are 150 cards and envies here. Such a small token for such amazing people. You can contact Beate through her blog if you would like to send her some cards or send some to her DH. I feel such joy sending this box I don't think I can even begin to tell you. Thanks to Beate for the opportunity.

SFYTT

Here's my take on Jen del Muro's SFYTT. The gift image has stickles on the dots. It's a little hard to see but it's there. I have the main imaged raised with pop dots. The sentiment tag was printed from my computer and trimmed by hand to look like a "flag". The faux stitching was created with a paper piercer and CM silver gel pen.
