Wild Thing

Since I had a "Friday Funny" on Wednesday this week, thought I'd just post a WILD THING card! I know, I know....another red, black, and white card - what can I say!

This is a stamp that I won from the Repeat Impression challenge and when I picked out the image I didn't have any idea what I was going to do with it - but liked it.  I like how the card turned out but really wish that I had embossed the black "frame" around the zebra.  But this is normal for me - just about every time I get a card done, I see things that I wish I'd done differently.  Maybe we're all like that though. 

The sentiment is from CTMH and I used the Square Lattice embossing folder from SU on this.  The coin was in a box of buttons and goodies that a friend gave me that had belonged to her mother.  It was full of coins of all type and some very unique buttons.  She was a world traveler and picked up bits and pieces of all sorts of things in her travels.

I'll enter this in the ABC Challenge (Zoo) and Die Cut Dreams #94 Challenge (Animal Antics - animals with four legs).

Thanks for stopping by..............Have a wonderful weekend.

DTD New Release Blog Hop

It's time for a Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles to showcase all the wonderful new release images that you can find in Boni's store!  Be sure and check out all the DT members blogs to see all the images.  Be prepared to be inspired!  The Hop doesn't have a starting and ending point so no matter where you are, you're in the right place.  Be sure and leave a little love at each stop because one of us will be the Mystery Hostess for the Hop and one lucky commenter will receive a fabulous prize.  In case you get lost along the way, here's a list of all the DT members:
Anne, Janet, Cleota, Michelle, Ruth, NanaConnie, Boni, Dawn, Lynn (that's me), Linda, Chrissy, Tammy, Ginny, and Dude Time Doodles.

This handsome gent is know as Chick Sanders and as you can see, he's really just pretty much of a "leg man" but as the inside of the card says "will take whatever you're dishing out"!  Of course with a name like Chick Sanders, he reminded me of Col. Sanders - thus the chicken wire background.  I actually MET the real Col. Sanders a LONG time ago.  Get ready to roll you eyes and get a chuckle here.........I was on a TV talk show out of Austin, Texas because I was one of the candidates for Rodeo Queen from a nearby small town!!  No, I didn't win (came in second) but did get dolled up in the boots, cowboy hat, and all the rest.  (See I TOLD you, you'd be rolling your eyes!)  Anyway, the Col. was on the same talk show and I have to tell you, he looked exactly like the pictures you see of him.

If you came from Dawn's blog you're on the right track and your next stop is LINDA

Anyway.........carry on with the Hop now, check out all the new release images at the Dude Time Doodles store, and have some fun.  Also, don't forget about the 1 year Birthday Bash Scavenger Crawl on August 24th for Dude Time Doodles.

Sending Smiles

It's another Funny Friday around here!  Hope this makes you smile.

Meet Eunice from Art Impressions Stamps!  Is she not a doll or what.  I just love the smile on that happy face and guess she's thinking about all you wonderful ladies (and gents) that inspire her daily!  I'll enter this in the challenge they're having this week with the challenge being sewing - either real or faux. 

I've received several of the blog awards that go around and one of the things you're suppose to do is to list 7 things (facts) about yourself.  I thought I'd take Eunice's image and use it to list some facts about me........

1.  My feet are not even close to being as big as Eunice's....I wear a size 4 1/2 shoe (for real)!  2.  No dresses for me - unless I just have to (that's the nice thing about getting old.....you can wear what you want!)  3.  My hair usually looks like this in the morning when I wake up and it really is that blasted gray color too! Yikes. .  4.  I actually have some earrings that are almost as large as Eunice's but my ears aren't this long - yet!.  5.  The wonderful glasses she's wearing - I do wear glasses but it's been a few years since they've looked like this.  6.  My husband always calls me "chicken legs" since my legs are so skinny - so I really do have something in common with Eunice!   7.  Last but not least, after looking at everyone's blog each day, I usually have a smile this big since you all inspire me and I always receive so many lovely comments.

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