Bear Hugs - RAAAAH

I made this bday card for my stepdad a few weeks ago and can finally post it now. Not that HE is a subscriber to my blog but I wanted it to be a surprise for my mom to see too. This set is Bear Hugs from Cornish Heritage Farms. CUTE OR WHAT?!!! I used my Copics to color the bear and Spica Copics for the fire....see it sparkle a bit?? And I was giggling while I was putting Liquide Applique on then the brown ink on the marshmallow so it looked perfectly yummy!! hee hee The little paper clips are from Tim Holtz and they are soooo handy for any man's card. The inside says "You can run but you can't hide from bear hugs" which I showed by having his footprints run into the tent. aaaa ha ha ha!! It was fun!

Tilda With Ladybug

Ok so I have 3 challenges all bottled up into this one!! I can't even believe I did this!! hee hee. The first challenge is at Just Magnolia "Let's Get in Shape" challenge that had to be a shape of any kind, just not square. I used my Nesties called Curved Rectangles. For the 2nd challenge, you had to pick black, white and 1 more color so I chose red. (Ok, I guess I chose grey as well tho) and this challenge came from Three Clovers Designs. The 3rd challenge was the sketch from Friday Sketchers and what a great blog they have!! The shape is a bit hard to see on this one but I already gave it to my sister so I can't take another pic. The HELLO label was cut using the "Label" RS-0947 from QuicKutz. KA--UTE!! I just bought it yesterday so I had to try it out! I did color with Copics but I needed to take a better pic. I cut out Tilda and 3-d her. I'd write more but I have boring chores to do so I have to go but this will keep you tied over until I finish more creations. Yipppeeeeee!!

Riley

Ok, so I had to make a quick post cuz I'm sneaking it in right now. My husband thinks I'm packing for our camping trip! hee hee A few of my friends noticed I haven't posted for a number of weeks. They are going through withdrawals (so am I), which I must say is the ultimate compliment for moi. So this post goes out to Cheri & Chris. Thanks for missing my stuff!

Coincidentally, I really NEEDED to make a card this morning so I took the Sketch Saturday sketch and inked up one of my old Riley stamps. He looked so lonely but now ALLLLLL my stamps are screaming at me to be used. LOL!! Although you can't see it, I did 3d Riley and his cozy chair. Hope this holds you over until next weekend! I will have LOTS for you then. :)
