You Roped My Heart

Welcome to my blog for the first challenge of the year at My Sheri Crafts!  Sheri herself has set the challenge for us this time and the theme is "Delightful Digis" - use a digital stamp on your project.  

I found this cute little cowboy in free coloring pages and I've looked and looked for him and can't find him again!  I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers.

I pulled out my Cricut markers and printed the sentiment with the Wild West cartridge.  I haven't used them in a long time!  The heart was cut out with Lovestruck cartridge and inked.   Added a little ribbon and a little bling and I was done!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please head over to My Sheri Crafts and see all the great inspiration there and join in the fun!  We have a new blog award button and it's awesome!!!

Teddy Bear Heart Shaped Card

Hi!  Glad you stopped by 'cause it's time for another fun challenge over at Creative Craft Challenges!

  This we we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and our theme is "Hugs and Kisses".  Here's my fun card

I created the card base on my Gypsy by welding the shadow cut of a  heart shape from the Lovestruck cartridge.  The patterned paper layer is the base cut of the same heart cut.  The paper is from The Paper Studio.

This cute digi is from Robyn's Fetish, colored with my Spectrum Noir pens.  I was really please with how he turned out, considering this was my first attempt at coloring an animal!

And look!  He wobbles!!  I've tried several times to make an action wobble, but they've never turned out just real great.  This one actually worked!  He sits level, moves freely and...well...everything he was supposed to do!

So now it's your turn!  Gather up your lovey-dovey papers, digis, die cuts, etc. and join us!  Head on over to Creative Craft Challenges and check out all the wonderful DT inspiration, then link up your project!  Anxious to meet you there!

Hellooooo!  I hope you have had a good weekend.  We are settled in and waiting on the snow and ice they are predicting for us early in the nmorning. Wonder what it's going to be like tomorrow?    

It's been a full week since I've posted a project of any kind!  We are right in the middle of our Upward Basketball and Cheerleading program at work.  This year I'm not only working all day each Saturday, but I'm Cheerleading director, so every Thursday night is tied up with cheer practice, too.  But it's so worth it!  This is a great program where each week we get to share Jesus with over 160 kids! 

This afternoon I got to spend a little time crafting and finished up a couple of cards I started Friday.  One of them is for my DT post for My Sheri Crafts which will go up Saturday.  Here's the other one:

The hearts are a Martha Stewart border punch, the lable is a cut installed on the Imagine.  I cut it twice, once at 2" and once at 2.10".   "Love" is from Lovestruck 2010" at 1 1/2".   

This is a 5 1/2 x 7 card, the background is cut from a scrap of deep maroon foil paper.  This is really beautiful paper with a nice shine.  The strip behind the lable is also a scrap of the foil paper. 

I pop dotted the the lable and used another foil strip to detail the inside and that's it!  I didn't do any inking on this card because I wanted it to have that sharp, crisp look.  I'm really pleased with the results and hope to enter it into a few challenges.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a really blessed week!
