Operation Write Home has a great sketch this week... I instantly knew where I was going with it, but it's
taken me three days to post!

Here's a little tutorial I did to create this card step-by-step for Crop Chocolate's weekly contest! No fancy techniques included in this one

Fly

Now is the time... yes, never hesitate to spread your wing & fly!  This week I will not be available on Saturday so I decided to combine two challenge I never get to combine.... Our Creative Corner (my DT post) along with Unity Stamp Company's Friends with Flair!

Lori is our challenge coordinator this week for Our Creative Corner, she has an inspiration photo for us along with the added challenge of "modern-inspired" which she thinks of as the opposite of vintage/distress.  Well, I did the best I could drawing heavily on the colors in the photo along with the bed frame that I repeated in my card frame.  I really think it works :-)

I didn't use hardly any printed paper on this design as it all seemed too fussy for the challenge, however I did ink the background using a Tim Holtz Inking tool with CloseToMyHeart ink ink Lagoon, I repeated this color for the cloud stamps.

All Stamps - Unity Stamp Co.'s KOTM Love in an Instant (do I use this set too much?  probably)

Inks - Blue... CTMH Lagoon; Red... CTMH Cranberry, Brown... Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy

Kraft Paper - Canvas Corp

I did smear the Brushed Corduroy down the face of my "frame" to give it a wood look

Bling - CTMH Glitz Stardust

winner time!

a while back & posted some Chevy Chevelle cards & said I'd have a random drawing if people would just tell me which color they like the best.... I was supposed to draw on March 24, my son's birthday but well, life got in the way with taking my niece back to Joplin and the snow so here I am just now remembering!

Above is my "little" man all those years ago & to the right is him just after the New Year this year, from playing in a laundry basket filled with toys to pointing out his TaeKwonDo First Degree Black belt that he is just about to earn (April 15 is not only tax day but belt testing day)



eek... so my winner is....
