Cowgirl Birthday

Hello friends.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I had to hurry and finish this card so that I could enter it into a couple of challenges that end today.

I love Kenny K images.  This has to be one of my favorites.  Those sexy boots just make me quiver..I want a pair.  Never mind the fact that I would probably re-break my neck if I had a pair.  LOL

Thanks again for stopping in.  Have a wonderful evening.  God bless y'all.

New Release Day at Kenny K

Welcome friends.  Today is the launch of the new releases by Kenny K.  There are three new beauties ready for purchase...Riot Rachel, Veruca Venom, and Veronica Vamp.   I was picked to use Riot Rachel and I love her.

Isn't she gorgeous?  Our challenge for this time is to use Black.  I am a huge fan of black and red together, so that's what I went with.  I made the roses using a EK Success 5 petal flower punch and my hot glue gun.  I found the tutorial on YouTube, but for the life of me I can't find it again.

Hello there.  Welcome to my blog.  Today's post features the freebie from Digital Stamps 4 Joy.  This is a progressive challenge.  Each month, as long as you play along, you will receive a new Christmas image.  This allows you to get a jump start on those cards for next year.  This month's is a beautiful candle.  I followed the Feeling Sketchy #77 challenge to create the card.

I printed out the candle and then used Crayola's and Sakura pens to color it in.  I found that cute poinsettia in my stash and had to use it.
