I AM ROBOT
OK, family talks, you know how that is. So when one niece found out about the cards I made for the other niece, not by reading my blog, but by talking to each other, how DARE THEY. I received an order from her for Birthday Cards, lots and lots of Birthday cards, she must send out about 100 a year between family and friends, having two kids adds to it, so I am busy once again doing cards for the family, can't complain though I love them and heck maybe when I am old they will come and visit me in the nursing home, LOL.
I really like how this card turned out. I colored in the robot with my metallic prismacolor pencils and then went over the colors with a sakura sparkle pen, you know the ones you get at Michael's for around $1.50. I bought a pack of DCWV metallic paper about 8 months ago and have only used it once. 
Can you believe when I reached for it (the pack has 48 sheets, in my defense it is a 6x6 pack) my palms started to sweat and my mind started racing are you sure you want to use this paper, OMG, I must get over this hoarding thing. I embossed the sentiment and used an eyelet to attach on this one. IRL the Robot is all sparkle and the metallic paper is great. Well she now has two of these cards in her pile and will show you the ones I did using airplanes. I am having so much fun, but do want to get started on some RAK cards. Have a great day.

That robot is a cutie. Flo, I have that DCWV metallic paper, too and I have not used ONE sheet of it yet! You are not alone in your addiction. God forbid we should use something, we never would be able to replace it! I am trying really hard this year not to hoard anything. Maybe I'll take it out for a spin this weekend!
such cute robots .How nice of your family to ask for cards from you!
Oh so cute! LOL @ hoarding things...glad you got over it...this time ;)
Great cards! I totally understand the hoarding and the apprehension in using nice paper; I go through it on a daily basis.
The cards are too cute. And I totally understand about: 1) hoarding and 2) metallic paper just NOT photographing well. My last card with metallic paper looks slate grey. So, I KNOW your cards look even better IRL
These cards are adorable! I fully understand the hoarding thing and it is a hard thing to shake, LOL. Your nieces are very fortunate to have you to supply them with cards.
What an adorable robot!! :) I totally love this card!!TFS!
Great cards Flossie - she will be thrilled with them! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Hi Flossie,
These are so cute! You will be bust making all those cards!
Thanks for all your kind comments to my blog, I realize you are a cheerleader to so many of us!
They don't read your blog? Oh no! It's awesome that you make cards for them! This is really great. Geez, I can COMPLETELY understand the hoarding thing! I'm horrible, but I'm working on it!!
When you figure out the hoarding paper issue...please contact me LOL. At least you have family members to keep you busy and to make you cut into that paper :)
This card is very fun! I love that robot :O)
What a cool card! I love the robot!

Flossie...knowing you are definitely a member of Hoarders Anon....think of it this way...IF you hadn't HOARDED, your neice would not have these CHOICE cards!!.....well....it works for ME!!!
I love your little robot guy. Great idea to add the sparkle and the metallic paper! I can relate to the paper hoarding ... but it's so worth using for just the right project -- which this one surely is! Great job!
Oh this is adorable!!!! What a lucky little lady!! And you are going to be busy!! :) Love the robot!

Fabulous card!! ..and I bet it is even more fantastic in real life. Would you believe it? I have the same paper too. So far have only used it to cut out a fancy corners with the cuttlebug.....don't want to use too much...lol.
Is good to have things like that
keeps you to be creative !
This Robot would be also boy/man card too
This robot is so cute. I love the brads in the corners of the image panel and on the sentiment.
That little robot is so cute! I love it!
Uh FAMILY! You are so blessed! :-)
Cute design and card Florence!
Smiles,
Nancy
so adorable. gotta love family!!
I totally struggle with 'boy' cards so I am loving these Flossie, think I have an aversion to creating for boys (apart from scrap pages of DG) cos I can't use my blooms and PINK lol. DG would go nuts if I made him a card with 'girl' colours but I love him enough to make the odd BOY card just for him :D
Cute robots! OMG, 100 cards??! Again, love the card!
