Hay Ride Kiddos

It's Friday!  Woo hoo!

I've got a fun new stamp to share with you today.  Having 'put up' hay for many years, I can certainly see our DD getting all grumpy at our DS, because he's throwing hay from the wagon in her hair :)  So, when I saw this great image at Scrapping Center, I knew that I had to have it!  Boy kiddo doesn't know it yet, but girl kiddo is just about to take that smug look off of his face...lol....

Found this scrap of very, very old DP from The Paper Studio, and thought it would be perfect as a background for the hay wagon.  All coloring is with Copics.  It's dark and dreary here today, and I couldn't get a decent photo....bah.  I truly AM going to get my light box finished! 

Used my trusty Perfect Layers Tools for the nice even matting.  Button is from my stash.  Image is #CRR150 Hay Ride Kiddos, by Stampendous.  I ordered mine from Scrapping Center.  They have OODLES of fun things that are calling my name!

I'm entering this in the Outlawz Friday Copic/Promarker Challenge - it's to use fall colors or foliage, and color with alcohol markers.

Have a great weekend - Be sure to check in on Sunday - Creations by AR has a special release, and all I can tell you is that my version is YUMMY!

Hugs,

Nice to Meet You....

Good morning, and Happy Sunday.  Our weekend was nice and quiet - got to visit with my friend Shirley at her a*muse open house on Saturday, and we had a very nice Palm Sunday service in church today.  The weather has been gorgeous. DD made it to DC, ran and finished the Cherry Blossom half-marathon, and made great time. Nick's sis and her hubby, and Nick's parents and DD all met there, and they all ran the race.  Ha ha...you won't ever hear 'all ran the race' when talking about her trips home!  I'm proud of them all!!!
