Wicked Wednesday - A Child's Play Reminder

The minute I saw this Toot, Toot digi image by Elisabeth Bell I knew I had to use it for this week's reminder post...isn't this little guy just the sweetest?!! This image reminds me of my youngest and how he used to sit and play with his Brio set...content for hours. I'm pretty sure my little guy even had the matching hat, lol!

Don't forget that one random winner will receive all 5 of the digi images that the DT used from Dearie Dolls this week, if you'd like to see the images you can click HERE to see them...you have until Tuesday evening to join in the fun!

NINE!!!

That's right....I said, "NINE!"
Which means I have NINE graduation cards to make this year! Four are done....only five more to go!

For the Kraft Journal I dry embossed a few of the stars which were cut in Kraft. I also inked a CB embossing folder with black Archival Ink before dry embossing the YOU DID IT, then I quickly sprinkled and melted clear embossing powder over the ink...a double embossing whammy!

For TGF I used the digi Graduation Anya and stiched around the base of the card in black. A while back one of the Farmer's said they used white thread and colored it with their Copics to get the color they wanted and I thought....how would you do that if it's already on the card, wouldn't it make a mess?!! Hmmm, after some thought I decided to leave the thread on the spool but pulled out as much as I thought would be needed to go around the card. I then colored it with my black Copic and rewound it back onto the spool. Great idea! Now I can have all the matching thread that I want!

For Anyone For Anya I used the digi Graduation Anya and used circles in a couple of different places.

Challenges:
The Kraft Journal: Emboss & Embellish
TGF: Farm Fresh Friday - Stitching
AYA: Get a ROUND to it!

Wicked Wednesday - Child's Play

We've got another fun challenge at Wicked Wednesday this week: Child's Play! This is one sweet image by our sponsor this week Dearie Dolls.....I just adore this little guy and his pogo horse. After coloring the image I pulled out the Cuttlebug A2 Combo Die Out West and used the catcus and sherrif's badge from the set to finish this fun little ATC off.


A couple of days after finishing the above ATC I remembered it was my nephew's birthday and we were going to see him over the weekend and I still needed to make a card. So I grabbed the ATC knowing how much our almost 7 year old nephew loved horses and knew this was going to perfect for him.

As I sat in the chair close to Rocco while he opened presents I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart when I saw a smile spread from side to side on his face when he opened his card.


One random winner this week will receive all 5 of the digi images that the DT used from Dearie Dolls, if you'd like to see the images you can hop over to Wicked Wednesday to see them...and while you're there, we'd love to have you join us!

Wicked Wednesday Mexican Folk Art Reminder

I know, I know....Mexican folk art is bright and colorful, with bold lines....so what was I thinking when I made this ATC?!! It all started with this gorgeous DP that reminded me of some Mexican art work I had seen a while back...and when combined with this Frida image from Dilly Beans...waaaalah!

All you have to do is click HERE to go to Wicked Wednesday to link up to this week's challenge that runs through Tuesday. Hope to see you there!

Wicked Wednesday - Mexican Folk Art

The challenge at Wicked Wednesday this week is Mexican Folk Art and not only do we have a new DT member Kim, but we've also got Sugar Skulls! All of the sugar skull images we used are from this week's sponsor Dilly Beans, and as an FYI...all the artwork is created by my fellow WW DT'er Megan Suarez. Megan adds new images frequently so if you get the chance check out her store/blog but don't be surprised if you fall in love with all of her fun and funky images.

It's always nice to have you stop by and leave such wonderful comments, and it would be extra sweet to have you join us in our Mexican Folk Art challenge this week too! All you have to do is click HERE to go to Wicked Wednesday to get all the info.

Mother's Day

Aaaack, I really am late in making this card for my mom for Mother's Day, but my saving grace is I'm not going to see her until Thursday and she won't have a clue as to when this was made for her. I have to say that at times like this I'm glad my mother doesn't use her computer for anything except solitaire?!!

This card went together really quick and I think it's due to the fact that I used Indie Chic double-sided DP by MME and went for a CAS look. At least I think it's CAS because that's a style I seldom attempt, probably because of my deep love for embellishments.

Stamps:
TGF: Cheeky Cherry Pie
TGF: Tea-rrific

Challenges:
TGF: May Retro - Mommy Dearest
The Kraft Journal: Remembering You
Simon Says Stamp: Clean & Simple
Anyone For Anya: May Sketch


Thanks for stopping by and leaving such sweet coments, they always make my day!

Wicked Wednesday A Little Bit Country Reminder

This little ATC started with a horse sticker on checkered DP and after adding a desert scenery rub-on over the horse sticker I thought it was a little too "busy," so I fussy cut (sloppily) around the images. I then inked all the edges with TH Frayed Burlap, added a Cuttlebug Die horseshoe, rope alpha stickers, and jute. Do you see the little prarie dog in the corner next to the wagon wheel...cute!!

One (1) random winner this week will receive their choice of FOUR (4) images from the Sassy Studios shop, so make sure you play along with us at Wicked Wednesday for your chance to win!
