Eureka Here Comes the Bride

The challenge for the Eureka blog this week is "Here Comes The Bride".   I chose to use a red, white and black color combo with the Zebra Pair #8404. 

I used the Spellbinder's Lacey Heart dies to showcase the zebra's.  I also used a  Cheery Lynn Horizon Fishtail Banner.  The sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you can make a card to enter in our challenge this week.  If you do, you just might be the lucky winner of some Eureka digital stamps. 

Thanks, for taking a look at my blog today.  Have a great day.

Half Cracked Husband

The blog challenge for the QKR Stampede is to make a card with either real or faux stitching or quilting.  I used my top note die because it has the stitching around the frame.  I used the QKR image.  I used the Carpenter image #13905.  The carpenter's jeans have stitching on them so this was a perfect image for the challenge.

I had to laugh as I was making this card, it sure reminds me of someone I know.  This was a fun card to make,  I like it when they make me giggle as I make them.

Here we are at the end of another week.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Cowboy Cole

I made this card for the Ways To Use It challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  I just received this stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs.   The image looks so much of my grandson.  He use to rodeo when he was little and this definitely could pass for his picture.

It has been a long time since I made a center side step card so I decided to cut a few of them today so I would have extra for the next time I want to make one. 

I had tons of things on my list to do today, but card making won over it.  I bet that never happens to you, does it?  :)

It is really hot here today.  One thermometer says 99 and the one on the front porch says 100.  If it is that hot where you are today, please try to stay indoors and keep cool.

I will be back tomorrow with another card.

I entered this in the Our Daily Bread Challenge.

For The Guys

Hi, I hope you all  had a great weekend.  We had a really good one, but it went way too fast.  We actually did not have any rain, but the temps have been around 80 to 95 degrees and it has been muggy.  I like warm weather, but the humidity is not my friend. 

The Eureka challenge this week is "For The Guys".   I have been wanting to color this little fawn 
(#13106) for a while now and this is the perfect challenge to use it. 

I used scraps from my Authentique paper pad.     It is amazing how many scraps one can accumulate while making cards.  I am trying to do better and use some of them as I go.  The fawn was colored with copics.  I added some fringe on the side.  I trimmed it down and used a brown marker to make it darker than it's original color.

I hope you can join us for the Eureka challenge this week. Be sure and check out my team mates cards.

Thanks,  for stopping by and have a great week.

For The Guys- Some Like It Hot

The challenge at QKR Stampede this week has a theme of "For The Boys".   I chose to use the
"Enjoying The Sun Bear" -#8401.  This furry guy is a super cool dude.  I think he has been chilling here at the beach for several hours.  I think it is time for him to pack up and go home, he is starting to get a little red, I suppose he forgot his sunscreen.  ~grin~

Be sure and cruise over to the Blog and see what the other gals have made for today.    Hopefully you will be inspired and join us for the challenge.

Work of Art cards

The last two or three weeks have been really hectic so I have not had much time for card making.  It is my week to host the Free 4 All challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers so I knew I had to come up with something that was quick.   When I am stressed, I don't come up with the ideas I need so I let Pinterest help me out.   I am glad that I did.  I love these cards, I just wish I had come up with the ideas on my own.   ~smile~   Finding them  gave me a chance to use the Work of Art stamp set which I think I have only used once or twice.  I think that I will use the Snowman card for my Christmas cards this year.

Hope you enjoyed my cards and thank you for coming by.
