Up, Up and Away - QKR Challenge

The challenge over at the QKR Stampede blog is to use the theme of Up, Up and Away.  I used the
QKR image Baseball Boy and the Eureka image Baseball Balloon.  My baseball boy is on his way to play a big game and he is dreaming how the ball is going to go Up, Up and Away out of the park on his first hit.    Maybe he is just a dreamer and then again, maybe he will make it happen.  ~smile~

Go over to the QKR blog and check out the other team mates cards.  These ladies are very talented.  I hope you will get started on your card for the challenge and upload it for us to see.

I can't believe it is Friday.   This week went so quick.  Have a good weekend.

The Sky Is The Limit

The Ways To Use It Challenge at Splitcoast is to put stripes on our cards.  I used a Distressed Stripes Embossing Folder to get my stripes.  The I used the SU stamp set called "The Sky Is The Limit".  I have had this set for awhile,  but this is the first time it has seen ink.  I used a cloud template and bliss blue ink to create the clouds. 

Thanks, for stopping by today.

Bandit At The Wheel

I made this card for the sketch challenge at Splitcoast today.  I sure wish I had a pink little bug like this one. 

This is a digi I found on Etsy.  I do not remember the name of the shop where I purchased it.  When I got this image I had a white boxer that looks like the one driving.  The little dog in the back is a Frenchie.   I had no idea at that time that I would get a Frenchy 10 years later.  I say he is my mini boxer.  :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Crazy Bird Selfie

I had fun playing the Technique Lover's Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.    I didn't get to play yesterday so I woke up this morning thinking about the selfie challenge.  I remember seeing a sign that said, "House work makes you ugly".  I decided it wasn't worth the chance and made this card instead.  ~grin~

I decided to give my crazy bird ink for the very first time and take him to the state fair.  He had to ride the Farris Wheel all by him self.  He is wishing one of his bird brain friends were at the fair to ride with him. 

I also used the Stampin' Up set "Feeling Sentimental".

QKR ~ At Sea

Hi Crafting Friends.   It is time for another QKR Stampede challenge.  This week the theme is at sea.   Nautical is one of my favorite types of cards to make.  I thought this Manatee was pretty cute.  The QKR image is called " Sailor" and it is #6701 in the QKR store.

I added netting, cheesecloth and seaweed (Spanish Moss)  around the porthole.  The white piece of cardstock is embossed with anchors, although it does not show up well in the photo.

I hope you will come over to the blog and join us for the challenge and to see the other team mates cards.  These gals are very creative.

Do you all have a big weekend planned?  We will hopefully be racing unless we get rained out.  We have had a lot of rain lately so I won't be surprised if there is a rain out.  Whatever you decide to do,  I hope you have fun and stay safe.

Thank you, for coming over to view my blog today.

P.S.   I have more blog candy coming soon.  Stay tuned for more information.

MHK - Open Bloom

Hello, Crafters, hope your week is going well.  So far, my week has been fun.  I have spent a lot of time in my craft room instead of doing the dreaded cleaning.  I bet you know all about that.   ~grin~
I am going to get busy after I do this post while my boxer is at the groomer.  The vaccum seems to make him nervous now that he is older.  It also makes me nervous because I know that I am the one who will be using it.  :)

Okay, getting back to my card, I used a MHK Digital image called "Open Bloom".    I really like this image and it was easy to color.  I have been admiring the stamps by MHK, but this is my first image.
The images grabbed my attention back in May or April.  I stumbled onto a Easter card made with their "Bunny Love" set. The card was adorable so I started following the MHK blog.

Thank you, for stopping by today.
