New Challenge at Melonheadz Friends

Happy Monday, friends.  Thanks for joining me today for a new challenge at Melonheadz Friends. Our last challenge, "Winter Fun" brought some amazingly creative cards into our blog.  I'm glad I don't have to pick the winner.

This challenge, since it's the Valentine's season, is of course, "Valentine's".  We all have that special someone or someones that we need to make cards for, so here's your opportunity to get a few made.

Y'all know that me and my redneck self loves "Duck Dynasty".  My daughter's favorite character on the show is Uncle Si.  She thinks he is hysterical.  For Christmas, she had a list a mile long of things with Uncle Si on them.  So, I made this card for her.

I think he turned out pretty good.  As you can see, he has his infamous blue tea glass.  On the front, I used Phil's quote, but on the inside it says "That's a fact Jack", which is Uncle Si's quote.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today.  I hope y'all will hop on over to Melonheadz and check out what my design sisters have created.  Have a wonderful Monday and God bless y'all.

Our Family Christmas Card

Hello friends.  I wanted to share with y'all a very different Christmas card.  I wanted something different for our family this year.  Something that represents our family in a different light.  I tried to come up with something that would reflect all three of our personalities.  What did I come up you ask?

Yep, that's right..a card reminiscent of Duck Dynasty.  All three of us absolutely love that show. Si is Kierstynne's favorite.  I like Jase and Willy and Tim likes Phil.  Of course, we all love Miss Kay. 

I have to admit that I didn't come up with the tree idea.  I watched a video on YouTube by Kristina Werner showing how she made fingerprint trees.  I just took it a step farther and made it a camouflage tree and cut it out with pinking shears instead of doing it on a white card base.  Kierstynne helped me with the inking.  It took quite a while to get them all done.  For the background, I ran pieces of brown Recollection card stock through my Cuttlebug using a Darice Wood Grained EF.  I cut down some camouflage paper and added to the left side.  I used pop dots on the tree and start.  The sentiment is printed out from my Word Processing program.  I didnt' want to add too many embellishments to it because even though us rednecks like bling, the Duck Dynasty crew is kinda plain.

I hope y'all get a kick out of this card as do the recipients of our card this Christmas.  Have a wonderful day and God bless!
