Little Cowboy Birthday card

Hello!   This week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday our theme is Anything Goes with the twist "Add an Animal!".  We are sponsored this month by 

I made a little boy's birthday card with our sponsor's image "BCFence"

He's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I added a horse from Cricut's Create A Critter cartridge. They are mounted on a piece of burlap from Hobby Lobby  and then I added a Spellbinder's diecut to frame them.  The sentiment stamp is from "Will and Way" and I hand cut that piece with some decorative scissors.  

I hope you'll join us this week.  This challenge should be another fun one!

An Autumn Bulletin Board

Fall and Spring are my favorite two seasons.  I love the smell of spring and all the green coming back, but I REALLY love Fall!  The fantastic colors, the crisp air, cool evenings.  God really blessed us with a beautiful creation to enjoy!

I work at our church and one of my responsibilities is to collaborate with another secretary and keep our bulletin boards decorated.  This is our Fall board and it's a perfect match for the new challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  Marge hosted this challenge and gave us the theme "Autumn Abundance - Use Fall items that are seen in abundance, like leaves, acorns, fruits, pumpkins, gourds, etc."  Well, I think I've got that covered here!

Isn't that colorful!  I love that tree!  I have to give full credit to Tammy for that part!  The Cricut cartridges used on this project were Disney Classics, Create a Critter and I honestly can't remember what the grass cut is from.  I did that back in the spring, but I've used that cut several times.

 I just love those cute Chip & Dale and Jimminy Cricket cuts!  This was a really fun board!

So, grab some paper and get creating!  Hope to see you over at My Sheri Crafts!

Peek-A-Boo Chickie!

Hello!  Thanks for stopping in today.  I have my second Easter card to share today (one more to go!).  I used some scraps laying on my work table for most of it!
 

The chick and the egg are cut from Create A Critter.  I used my Gypsy to hide the face features and stamped a Peachy Keen face instead.  Much cuteness added!!!

I used a distressing tool to ruff up the edges of the chick and make him look a bit more like a fuzzy little chick.

What do you think?  I had fun with it and got some more scraps used up!  :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

I Love The Colors of Spring!

Happy Friday!  I hope you are having weather as beautiful as we are here!  It's a sunny 76 degrees in SW Missouri and I'm about to go out and finish mowing my yard!  But first, I have an Easter card I want to share with you.  I love the colors of spring and have made a few projects already with these pastels. 

This card is 5 1/2 x 6, cut from Nana's Kids paper stack.  The chick, scalloped egg and sentiment are cut from Easter 2010; the umbrella and boots are from Create a Critter. 

The blue glitter paper is from Colorbok and I used my I-Rock to add pink metal glitter brads from Imaginisce.  I just love that shade of blue!

The edges are inked with a Violet ink pad and I did a little doodling with a violet marker.

This corner punch has no name on it!  The only information on it is "Made in China" and "Not for children under 5".  :-)  I think maybe I ordered it from LTD Commodities.

As you can see here, I pop-dotted the chick and finished out the inside with a strip of the patterned cardstock and of pink cardstock.  All the paper used on this card are scrap pieces!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fun, creative weekend!

This card will be entered here:
Bitten By The Bug 2 - bunny or chick
Celebrate the Occasion - Any occasion, must use metal (metal brads)
Do You Stack Up - favorite color (light blue on egg)
Polka Doodles - Animal or bird

It'a Challenge Time at My Sheri Crafts!

Hello & Happy Saturday to you!  I hope you are having a good weekend!  It's time for a new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts and this time we were asked to make an easel card with a shamrock. 

This is my card closed:

 And here it is open!  It's a 5x7 card made from dark green textured cardstock and the papers are from Die Cuts With a View.

 "Lucky" was cut from Creat a Critter and the sentiment was cut from Pooh Font and welded on my Gypsy. 

The pot of gold was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used Glossy Accents on the gold to add more texture and shine.

The Top Hat and shamrock are also from Paper Doll Dress Up.

I added some doodling with a white gel pen and pop dotted the pot of gold to hold the easel and there you have it!

I hope you will join us with your easel card with a Shamrock.  You just may be our next GuestP Designer!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Fairytale Birthday Card

 I haven't been able to get anything made and posted in awhile!  Today I have a card made with another Designed 2 Delight digi stamp.

The card base is 5 x 6 1/2 from Hobby Lobby.  The paper is from The Paper Studio "The Basics" stack.  The digistamp is called "Flutterby Fairy"; scalloped ovals are cut from Create a Critter; the embossing is Cuttlebug Swiss Dots; border punch is from Fiskars and the ribbon is from Wal-Mart.  I printed the sentiment on the computer, colored the stamp with colored pencils, added a little inking and pop-dotting and there you go!  A Fairytale Birthday.  I'll be entering this in the following challenges:

Designed 2 Delight Challenge

Birthday Sundaes

Flutterby Wednesday Challenge

When Life Brings Rain...

Dance in the Puddles!  

This card base is from Hobby Lobby, the cardstock is some I've had in my stash forever, the paper flowers are also from my "had this forever" stash and I folded them in quarters to get the shape, size and fluffiness I was looking for.  The ribbon is from Michaels and the little cloud stamp is from Studio G.  The little girl is cut from Everyday Paper Dolls @ 1 1/2", the puddle and grass are from Create a Critter.  The sentiment is my own and computer generated. 

I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:
The Paper Variety
Get Inspired with Chatterscene April Showers Challenge
Cooking With Cricut

Belated Birthday cards

I finally completed the cards for the birthday I missed.  Yes, cards plural.....it was a birthday for twins in my Sunday School class, so I had to make two!  So here is the card for the little boy...

I forgot to take the pictures BEFORE I wrote in the card :p !   I wish that I had placed a sun on the front of this one, but I've already delivered it, so too late now!  All images are all from Paper Dolls for Everyday and the font is from Ashlyn's Alphabet.  Sorry about the shadows on the pictures. 

And here is the card for the little girl...

I used my Gypsy and the Create a Critter cartridge to weld two of the skunk blackout features at 4", one upside down to make the card base.   Then I cut the skunk at 4".  I used the "hide" feature to crop the face, as it was smiling brightly.  The cupcake is from Doodlecharms cut at 1 1/2".  I decorated it freehand.  The sentiment is printed with Cricut markers and the Pooh font cartridge. 

Yesterday I spent all day at the choir district contests.  The kids did really well overall, 9 soloists and ensembles qualified for state competition!  Kudos to all the kids for their hard work!

That's about it for this REALLY WINDY Sunday, thanks for stopping by!
