Git 'Er Done Valentine

Yep, Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I figured I'd better hurry up and get a couple of cards made.  This really is a git 'er done card.   My brain was having a hard time kicking in that day.  It does that more days than not lately though it seems.

That cute little penguin and the sentiment are from Gerda Steiner Designs.   Gosh, there's not much else to say about this other than I added a piece of twine.  Done deal!

I assume penguins can be considered critters so I'll enter then in the 2  Crafty Critter Crazies challenge.

Joyous?

Better late than never, right?  This was one of the cards I sent out for Christmas last month.   I managed to get it posted to Instagram, but not over here.  Don't know if they're spreading joy or just waiting for a treat to come their way!

I did a little stenciling behind this cute group but it's hard to see.  I seem to either have a really heavy hand with that - or no hand at all.   The stamp is from Simon Says Stamp and then sentiment from Hero Arts.

The Slacker Is Back

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and yes.....Happy Valentine's Day too!  I'm back.....at least for today.

I saw the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge last week and really liked it so figured I'm give it a whirl.  I attempted a technique that Jennifer McGuire showed using alcohol inks and water for the background on this card.  I don't have any alcohol inks so used some Copic refills.  The hearts are from Stampin' Up.

What surprised me most of all was that I didn't turn my craft area into a pink, red, and blue room due to spilling the water everywhere.  I also didn't end up looking like a pink Smurf either which was a plus.

I'll enter this in the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by............and I'll hopefully be back soon.

Lots of Pink

If you don't like pink, you probably should have closed your eyes!

This is for Number 4 granddaughter (the youngest) who hopefully still likes pink.  They seem to change their favorite colors with the weather you know.  Even if she doesn't like pink, I imagine she'll like the "green" that's going inside.

And speaking of weather..........our high on Tuesday was 56 degrees - and the high on Thursday is going to be 90 degrees!  What in the world!  (That's your friendly weather report for the day)!

I used some patterned paper from Doodlebug, stitched circle from Lil Inkers, and frame die from Pretty Pink Posh.  To take center stage though is the Birthday Bash stamp set from Newton's Nook.

I'll enter this in the Inky Paws Challenge at Newton's Nook (sketch).

It's a Deer!

Just a quick birthday card for one of the young guys in the family.  The stamp set used is from Newton's Nook.  This is probably the shortest post on record!  All is well.............
I sincerely apologize for not getting by anyone's blog to comment much.  I'm trying to do better but it's just not working out too much.  Will keep trying though.

Wobbler Gobbler

A little bit of a wobbler gobbler - or maybe it's a gobbler wobbler.  However you want to look at it, this cute little guy from Art Impressions really is a gobbler and yes, he wobbles too!  I absolutely love this set of stamps - even though it is a little early for T-Day.   I used some of the wobbly things from AI.  The small ones fit it perfect and the larger one fits the larger turkey in the set of stamps. I used some Lawn Fawn paper, wood grain card stock, twine, and wooden embellishments - that's about it.

I'd like to enter in the Jiggle a Little challenge at Art Impressions and also in Darnell's challenge to use never before used stuff., and 2 Crazy Critter Challenge.

Things are still wobbling and jiggling along  here as always.

Simple Card......The Cat That Wasn't.....Oh NUTS!

A peek of a few things going on in my life right now.  First off is a very simple card.  I used some Oxide ink, a die, sequins, that Smoochy spray stuff, and a little masking off the rectangle.  What can I say over than super simple.  The happy birthday sentiment is on the inside.

Next up on the agenda.........This is Pepper and she's the cat (kitten) that almost was.  Recently a neighbor moved and left this poor little girl behind.  She was so tiny and nothing but skin and bones so of course I had to rescue her and get her fattened up a bit.  Such a sweet little kitty!  The problem was that Jim and Rambo didn't feel we needed another female in the house (since they do think they rule!) so she's residing with my brother now.  Rambo did not appreciate the competition at all around here!

And speaking of Rambo......We have to end this post with the king of the house.  Yes, he's wearing the cone of shame.  About the only explanation is that he's not as "nutty" as he used to be!!!  For the last 10 days he's been a very unhappy little guy but the cone is gone now and he's back to his furry self  ----- just minus a little bit that he didn't need anyway!
