Reading Rachel

Good Morning,

and...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian Friends

out there in Blogland!!!

Just a little something on the inside...
lol...when DD was here this weekend, she actually thought I had her in mind when I created this card. Isn't the image fun? And the sentiment? Love them both!





I don't know if you remember, but a few weeks ago, I won a challenge, and the prize was digi images from Sassy Studio Designs...this was one of my free images, Reading Rachel! The sentiment was a freebie from Create with TLC!




Coloring is done with Copics, Edge punch by Martha Stewart, Blossom Nestie & Marvy punches used on front.
CS is Bazzill Basics, and ribbon is from Michael's.




I am going to enter this card here:

Raise the Bar Challenge: Pink + add a female image
Stamp Something: Something Punchy





Have a great day!

Fun in the Sun

I inked up this little guy, just thinking I needed something to color. I wasn't really worried about challenges, but I found some that he'll work for! Stamps are The Angel Company, and coloring is pencils and min. spirits.

If the Shoe Fits, Scrap It: Vacation

Stamp Something: Recipe: 1 DP (DCWV Mat Stack), 1 Ribbon (Twill), 1 Image (TAC)

For Fun Challenges: No die cut images - use your favorite coloring medium (pencils and loms)

Creative Card Crew: Use Die Cuts (Nesties)

Thanks for stopping by - hope you like him!

A Giggle a Day...

For my first DT assignment at Create with TLC, I had the choice of any of Paulette's wonderful digi's.
I found this darling 'giggle' sentiment in one of Paulette's Word Art sets "Grins and Giggles". I thought that it would be perfect with the adorable Freebie she had put up a few days ago! What do you think?

I took the liberty of painting some 'nails', and giving this little cutie patootie some eyelashes. How cute is this image??? The flower centers have the ultra fine Flowersoft "Citrus Crush". I think they turned out looking pretty cute too!



Check out the easel card!

Coloring is done with Prismacolor Pencils and low-odor mineral spirits. Highlights are with Sakura Pink and Green Gelly Roll Pens.

So, dear peeps, if you have not had a chance to check out the awesome digi's at Create with TLC, hop over there and see what Paulette has for you! She is quite generous with free images, and has a store full of wonderful creations!!!

Food for thought:

Another church bulletin blooper: Thursday at 5 p.m., there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All ladies wishing to become Little Mothers will please meet the Minister in his study on Thursday.

(You know you smiled! As a past church secretary, I actually cringe before laughing!!!)

Happy Birthday...

I needed a little something for a friend that has an upcoming birthday, so I thought that I'd use TAC's new set, "Wonder and Joy" for the focal image.

I just love the darling little kids in this set!

I've colored with Koh-I-Noor, used a black gel pen for the eyes and mouth on the balloon and the little girl's eyes.

Obviously, she was too long to fit in a nestie, so I trimmed at the bottom and top until most of her would fit, and just let those parts lay on the outside of the nestie rim.

The hat on the sentiment stamp inside of the card (Studio G.) is paper pieced with the same cardstock as is on the front, but like the little card at the top, it's made from the back side of this fabulous two sided CS by Chatterbox!

I used the Martha Stewart "Loopy" edge punch on both sides, but on the left edge, I clipped off the 'loops'.

I hope she makes you smile - she's such a little cutie!

Here are a couple of photos of our old, sad, kitchen. The countertops were removed yesterday, and new ones were installed, but you can't see the new counters until the cabinets are painted, the walls are painted and tiled, and the new flooring is down, so it will be a long while coming!!!

Have a good night! Don't forget to register to win the set of Nesties! DH has another Dr. appt. on Friday -I may not get to draw until later in the day! Good luck, everyone!

Another church blooper: Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
