Thinking of you!

Hello lovely blogger friends!

I apologize for the brief hiatus!

Mom and dad flew into Phoenix on Saturday, and we've been going going ever since!

Today mom and I were able to spend some time in the craft room!

I always love miss Megan's creations at Dilly Beans

Her drawings are just fabulous!

This is a close up of one of her girls... All colored up and on this

Fun card I made for my sister in Pennsylvania

Here is the whole card... I just love that polka dot card!

Which by the way I've had in my stash for about three years!

I may covet them a little!!

I'm also playing along with the challenge over at 365 cards

Which is thrifty! Use something you've had in your stash for over a year... The cards, and also something you got on sale... This is silly for me! As I buy only on sale!!

I added the thinking of you sentiment

And the burlap die cut heart!

Here is another close up!

So I hope you've had a great week! Tonight mom and I are off to meet with

My art group for a make and take!

Card of a different shape

I won this fun SC digi a few weeks back from miss Mary for a fun blog hop!

You know how much I love these images, and the kitty is just so freakin adoreable!

I colored her gray just like my Koa cat (who wears a gray and white tuxedo)

The challenge over at Saturated Canary Challenge

is to make a non square card...

Which is also the challenge at Simon Says Stamp challenge

So I pretty much just straight edges at an angle to make this card...

yep, that's right, I'm not very good at making shaped cards so this works for me!

Isn't this a fab digi??

I needed to make a thank you for my dear friend in Florida who was so nice as to

send me and Hubby a 2nd anniversary present!

Who wouldn't love this fun shaped card??

Here is a close up of miss kitty! Don't you just love her green eyes??

The Huntsman

I've mentioned before my struggle with card making...

Today I continued my battle...

In this case using "the huntsman" from Saturated Canary (find it here)

At the Saturated Canary Challenge blog there is a challenge based on a picture

I interpreted the green grass and the big tree into this

Birthday Card for a friend from work

My friend is really into magic cards (I don't get it but he LOVES them)

So I figured what else would a little boy with a sword slay but a dragon??

I added some sewn detail around the sides

And the oval that the huntsman is die cut out of was them embossed around the edges.

The Ticket is from Tim Holtz, and I added the "happy day" stamping

Here's the huntsman's close up...

Isn't he a cutie?? 

Hope you like what I've created today!
