Toad-ally Wild

Welcome, welcome.  I'm so glad to see ya today. It's still cold here.  Yet, tomorrow it's supposed to in the 60's.  It snowed a bit here last night.  No wonder everyone is sick.  This dang weather has no idea what it wants to do.

I love frogs, so when I saw the challenge at Robyn's Fetish this week, I knew I had to use her frog image.  I also decided to play along with My Favorite Things this week and follow the sketch challenge.

I just love this image.  Don't they look like a bunch of wild guys?  I have an uncle who we call Uncle Frog, nicknamed as a child because he was always coming home with frogs in his pockets, so I may save this one for his birthday.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I know I have been posting alot lately, but I've been in craft frenzy this week.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Made in America

Hello there friends.  Thanks for stopping in to see what I have been up to.  Today I have a card for y'all that uses the #2 image in the Progressive Challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs Paper Craft Planet site.  If you remember, the first image was Army Honey.  The second one is Air Force Honey.  Now that I have completed my card with her, I can request Sailor Honey.  

To begin, I printed off the image on Neenah card stock and used colored pencils and a Gold Metallic Gel Pen.  I trimmed down the image and matted it onto a panel of Gold Glittery card stock and then a Blue panel.  Both of these are from DCWV.  I followed this weeks MFT Sketch # 132 to design it.  The DP's are from Colorbok's Americana pad.  The card base is SU Red Riding Hood.  I used a scrap piece of blue and gold star DP and my new Hexagon Fiskars punch to make the little elements on the gold panel.   I stamped the sentiment (Cloud 9) onto Neenah card stock with Memento Lady Bug and inked the edges with Bahama Blue.

So, that finishes up my card for today.  I haven't been too many challenges lately.  I'm trying to catch up and get ahead of my DT cards because we are going on vacation next week.  If you don't see me alot next week, then you know why.  

I hope y'all have a great day and God bless!

This is another word art designed by Word Art Wednesday.  I used the weekly sketch from MFT to design the card.   The card base is Recollections.  The DP is DCWV.  I inked the edges of all the elements with DI Vintage Photo.  I added a flower from AC Moore to finish off this CAS card.

Lady Bug Card

Howdy y'all.  It's been pretty chilly here this week, so I thought I would make a card to try and bring back some beautiful Spring weather.

This cute card uses an image from the internet that I found a while ago.  

I colored this little lady with BIC markers.  I followed this week's sketch from My Favorite Things to make this card using papers from DCWV.  I matted each paper and the image on a Blue card stock from Recollections.  The card base is made from the same Blue card stock.  Adding two square buttons from my stash finished up the card.

To create the inside of the card, I used the same papers and card stock, following the sketch pretty closely.  I don't know why there is such a shadow on the right side of the picture, but there isn't a dark spot on the actual card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate the support.  God bless y'all.
