I guess sleeplessness can have it's perks.
Here are a couple of the cards I made while trying to wear myself out.
This one is for Julee's Mojo Monday challenge and uses the Expressions stamp set (Inkadinkado)that I got for Christmas but has just now seen ink.
Papers: Caramel and Cranberry (SU),and Retro Mat Pack (DCWV). Inks: Basic Brown and Caramel. Extra: Punches(Scallop Circle, Scallop Border, Butterfly, Fern),Cuttlebug & Circles and Flowers Folder, Ribbon, Buttons, Stickles, Piercing Tool, Sponge.
After playing around with all the rich earthy tones, I decided I wanted to make something fun and bright.
This one is for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge. What? There's no cupcakes on this one?
I know, I started with full intentions of doing a cupcake image with these cute little bees standing on top. Try as I may, I just couldn't make it look right, so I ditched the cupcake and just stuck with the bees( I had spent a good bit of time cutting those suckers out, of course I wasn't going to ditch them). LOL! Anyway, Taylor's guidelines say you don't have to use cupcakes so it still fits the challenge. Yeah!!!!!
Isn't is nice and springy?
Stamps: Bee Trio (Stampendous), Expressions (Inkadinkado). Paper: Bright Punch Out Pack and Best Occasions Textured (Colorbok), White. Inks: Brilliance Graphite Black. Extras: Cuttlebug & Swiss Dot Folder, Copic Markers, Primas, Buttons, Ribbon, Slit Punch, Dimentionals.
I'm finally getting sleepy! Yeah! Stamp therapy was a terrific success. Who knew?
I think I might be able to sleep now. You all have a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by to see me! TTFN

I know you are losing sleep, but atleast you are making beautiful cards!!
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble sleeping. That's rough.
Great cards! I love the colours you chose for Mojo and the way you used the MS branch punch. I'm always looking for an excuse to use it.
The card for Taylor's is bright, fun and brought a smile to my face.
Better luck sleeping tonight.
