On the farm...part two

Just wanted to share with you my other 'farm' card.  This is a digi from Whimsie Doodles that I have had for a while and hunted up for this swap.  I just love her - how about ewe??  (Marlene, you should be proud of that one!)

The card base is textured white, the background is SU, the digi and sentiment are Whimsie Doodles and the embellies are a generic clip and pearls...

Thanks for stopping by for my uber-fast post!

Take Two Tuesday

This might be the first time I have started with the card, rather than making you read my ramblings....

This card is for a swap on SCS called Down on the Farm.   The card could be for any occasion as long as it has something to do with a 'farm'.

This swap was great fun; and I actually have another card for it that I need to finish up....maybe I will make three posts on this fine Tuesday....lol

Have a great evening!

DeeDee's Challenge

DeeDee's Digis offered up a free digi today to go with their newest challenge. While you don't need ot use the free digi (just one of DeeDee's) I thought they went together too well to not use them. 

This was a fun challenge and I actually have the perfect recipient (but, I can't say who, just in case they are reading today).  I used my Bic MarkIt's to color in the image.  Framed the sentiment with a Nestie, and added one little piece of bling to the flip flop!  As you already guessed, all papers are from my scrap file.

Thanks for checking in today and I'll see everyone back on Tasty Tuesday!

Ho's Challenge....the Crafty Ho's, that is.....

Sunday means another round of challenges starting up....and I decided to make a card for the Crafty Ho's Challenge that popped up this morning.  Well, a new one is up every Sunday there, but my mojo has been missing and I am now getting back in the swing of things!!

So, without further ado.......here is my card!

I kept this one pretty simple.  The stamp set is "Daydream" from Close To My Heart.  I stamped with Momento Rich Cocoa and CTMH Outdoor Denim.  The umbrella is colored with Autumn Terracotta and Twilight with a blender pen.  The paper/card stock was all from my scrap file.  I freehanded cutting around the sentiment to make it look like a cloud....a little terracotta around the edges and popping it up with dimensionals gives it a more realistic look.

Thanks for checking in!

Saturday....

Okay, the month is almost over and that means that Designed2Delight has sent me my last freebie of the month.  It's progressived remember, so at the beginning of the month, use the freebie and you get another.  It is a great way to earn great digis.  You can check the blog to see what I am talking about.

This was colored with Copics and gel pens....I used all scraps for the papers/cardstocks....and the circle clip was in my embelly holder and have no clue where it came from. And, the sentiment is hand written ~ believe it or not, I couldn't find a stamp I wanted to use; or print out....lol (Laziness at its best!)


I also made a card for the Bugaboo Hop and Challenge.  This challenge was to depict love.  Not a hard thing to do with BB's wonderful stamps....

I colored my sock monkey with Copics and Bic Mark-Its.  Paper was also from my scrap pile and the ribbon is a generic blue... Sentiment is from Close to My Heart.

Thanks for stopping in tonight!

TUC Challenges

So, I am a member of the Tangled Up in Creativity blog group....did y'all know that?  I bet most of you did!  LOL  We are two groups combined and right now, have two challenges going on....

One is to use red, white and/or  blue and the other is to make our own designer paper.  I have been strapped for time this week or so and decided to combine the two challenges into one great big card.  You can see the challenges here and here.

Well, I seemed to forget a couple important things....lol

The gorgeous digi is from Stamping Boutique - colored with Bic's and Copics, the sentiment is from Close To My Heart, and I stamped the 'designer' background with a mini * from a dollar set and the large star is from Laundry Line from My Mind's Eye. 

Happy Hump Day

So, it is Wednesday!!

I have been so busy trying to find a new ride, that I have been neglecting my dear blog....  But, here I am with a cute little card.

This image and sentiment are from Designed 2 Delight.  The little birdie is colored with my Copics - all other inks are from Close To My Heart.  And you all know that all of the other supplies are out of my stash o' scraps. 

Thanks for stopping by.
