Cute Couple

How about a cute little "Riley" couple to take you into the weekend!   We're talking about a little "down home cooking and gardening" around here with Mr. and Ms. Riley.  I recently won an image in a blog hop that was being held over on the Riley and Company blog and just had to pick this one.  They actually remind me a lot of my husband and myself!  Well, maybe we don't really look like a moose, but we do love to cook and dig in the dirt (garden).  Thought this would make a cute birthday card - clean and simple AND quick.

Thanks for stopping by............and have a wonderful weekend.

Autumn Birthday

Hambo Hoedown's progressive challenge this week is all about the hues of Autumn.  If you didn't play along last week in the challenge you can still get this cute little image (Flowers) at the Hambo store and then play this week.

I'm so ready for Autumn it's not even funny around here.  After so many HOT days in Texas this summer, I'm ready to see cooler temps - and quick!

I have a whole slew of family and friends that are having birthdays in the next couple of months.  So when I saw the pretty little flowers from Hambo I knew I'd have to make a birthday card.  I used Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive card stock from SU.  I used two of the three flowers images, colored them with Copics, cut them out, and popped them up on dimensionals.  I used the Square Lattice embossing folder from SU on the green.  That's a piece of chocolate brown ribbon at the bottom with hemp twine run across it and then tied in a bow.  (Why does brown ribbon always photograph in black for me!)  A little sponging was done, the sentiment stamped, and card completed.

A Short Cowboy

It's time for the monthly Sketch Challenge at Dude Time Doodles.  You have one week to flip the sketch, twist the sketch, work the sketch, and submit your creation.  You're not required to use a Bonibleaux Design image although it always makes us happy when you do.   Check out the sketch on the Dude Time Doodles Blog!   It MUST be masculine themed.  So head on over to the Dude Time Doodles blog and join in on the fun.  Who knows, you could be the Top Blog or one of the Top Three for the week - and the Top Blog will win a prize.

Cowboy DOWN with Deputy Dave!  You can find him in the Dude Time Doodles STORE - along with a whole bunch more cute images.   Poor Dave is not only old and shrinking, but has also been riding a horse for too many years and as he legs get more bowed, he just keeps getting shorter.  His shirt and jeans are all faded out and the boots have seen so much wear and tear you can hardly tell what color they originally were. 

Thanks for stopping by..........and head over to DTD to check out the sketch and then submit your entry.

SRU Friends

Our challenge, beginning today over at Stamps R Us, is themed Friendship.  Come on over and submit your entry for a chance to win a fabulous prize from our sponsor, Karber. 

This is just one of the cute images you can find in the Karber store.  Isn't she just the cutest little thing with those great big glasses.  She looks so studious!  I colored her with Copics and am still trying to get that hair coloring down better.....maybe I'll just have to say forget it and go back to the Prisma pencils - which I love.  Ah, but there's nothing like a challenge - so I'll keep trying I guess.  Very simple card using a scrap piece of paper and some pink card stock.  I placed a few rhinestones around the scallop circle since it's pretty much a "girlie" looking card.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and enter the Stamps R Us challenge!

From Another Dimension

For the progressive challenge over at Hambo Hoedown, we were given this cute little alien spaceship to use for the theme this week - another dimension.  If you didn't play in the challenge last week, you can purchase this image from the store.  Come on over to Hambo Hoedown and join in on the challenges - they're really a lot of fun.

 

I kind of feel (and probably LOOK) like this little alien after all the company we've had this weekend...and another wave of it will be in later today and then leave tomorrow!  Yikes!   Anyway, I've used some CTMH DP and Pumpkin Pie and Ballet Blue card stock from SU.  I cut the orange circle and then embossed it - and popped it up on dimensionals. The image was stamped twice, colored, and both "popped up" on dimensionals.  He looks a little "in flight"!

Thanks for stopping by...........I'll get by everyone's blog in the next day or two and will also have another card for tomorrow for our challenge at Stamps R Us........

My Name is Not SORRY

Time for another Funny Friday!!

A couple of years ago my husband had some very serious medical problems and due to his weakened condition and a bad back he decided to try using one of the scooters when we went to Walmart.  I got him all situated in it and we figured out how to operate the thing and off we went.  He did pretty good until he got to the first turn which happened to have a display rack there........wipe out!!  Ok, so I'm helping the clerk pick up everything and just kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry"!  I turned around and hubby was no where in sight - went looking for him - and just followed the trail for things he had hit laying in the middle of the aisles.....At every stop, all I could say to the clerks as I was helping them straighten up was, I'm sorry!  Amazingly he'd only hit ONE person!  By the time I got him out of the store I felt like my name was SORRY!

This cute little image is from Just Inklined.  They have so many fantastic images to choose from.  I used one of the Label nesties and on the red strip used the stripe embossing folder from SU.  

  Of course this little card wouldn't be complete without a sassy little saying on the inside too.

I'll enter this in the Shopping Our Stash challenges (theme Humorous).

Hope this puts a smile on your face..........have a wonderful weekend.  Just a note:  I had company come in yesterday so I'll check back with everyone on Sunday or Monday.

Monster Mash

Just a very CAS Halloween card.  It's not a one-layer deal - still having some issues with those things (like using up a ream of card stock trying to get them perfect).  The image is from SU's Booglie Eyes and the sentiment from Studio G.  A really quick and easy card for one of the nephews for Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by..........and get ready for another Funny Friday tomorrow!
