Hoot! Hoot! Hurray!!

I don't have anything recent to show you, but I didn't want to NOT post today, so I decided to show you another card that I made when I was a part of the Dirty Dozen. It is one that was made for the February '09 gallery. Here is a link to the info about that gallery, and what it's theme was!!

Since the theme was art, I decided to use my SUPER CUTE, Stephanie Fizer set, An Owl For All Seasons. I also used My Favorite Thing's Summer paper pack and ribbon. I saw this card in my folder and fell in love with it all over again...I love it when that happens!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope you enjoyed my new/old creation!! Have a great day!!

Mojo 139....Did I Mention I'm Behind?

I know I said it the other day, but man am I behind on all the sketches I want to do!! I have a PILE of them printed out, and realistically will never get to all of them, but it is nice having them there when I need inspiration. Today, I have used a Mojo sketch from back in May, but I LOVE it!!

I used the SUPER CUTE Jolinne Sweet Spring set. Instead of using the girl in the set, I decided to use the sweet little bunny and flowers from the set. I added some grass to the bottom with my Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass die, and some MFT felt. I also used the Die-namics Cloud Die with some more felt.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Paper Flowers

Hey Everyone, and welcome to this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge!! Mercy is still our hostess this week, and her challenge was to make a card or project using a paper flower that we had made ourselves or bought....fun!! Since it was her challenge, I decided to use her paper flower tutorial, as well as one of her sketches!! If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C42. Don't forget to go back to the C4C blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Before I talk a little about my card, I wanted to let you know that Lori Boyd has decided to step down from the team to focus on other endeavors. We wish her lots of luck!! Taking her place is the ever so talented, Maria Bell!! Welcome to the team!!

For my card, I used the There She Goes Domestic Goddess set. As I said above, I used one of Mercy's sketches from the first week of June, and her paper flower tutorial. I have actually seen her make a few of these in person, and mine pale in comparrison!! I screwed up and used one sided paper, though. Definitely needs to be double sided!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Be sure to blurf around and see what the other Crazies have for you!!
