Down on the Horse Farm


The theme at Craft a Scene is "Down on the Farm" and you can make it any kind of farm that you want.  I decided this time I would make a horse farm.

I used a great Heartfelt Creations mountain/barn combination stamp to get me started and then add the horses from Sutter and Heartfelt Creations.  The branches and birds are Stampscapes.

I have this great paper from Fancy Pants Designs that has stars on it and it is perfect for my star, Sally.

Battle of the Bands

One of the things I remember fondly from my High School days is going to the Battle of the Bands.  I think every community must put one of these on at least once.  Well, my card this week features another one of Wendy's great new images from the Noteable Music collection.

I made a centre step card and used the Noteable paper for accent panels.  The accessories stage was perfect as a backdrop to my drummer!

Card Recipe
Paper: Bazzill blue, Noteable paper pack
Markers/Ink: Copics, Distress Fired Brick
Embellishments: Spellbinders dies,

    Down on the Farm at Craft a Scene

    What a great theme Craft a Scene has going on now - Down on the Farm.  I love making scenes!  I found that I didn't have many stamps to depict a farm except the Sutter barn and a few Stampscapes cow stamps.  So I decided to create my farm just like the ones I see up and down Vancouver Island - mostly milking cows.

    I started with the 146F Crooked Path and then add my Sutter barn.  Next I layered on a couple of 278F Soft Hill.  I masked off the parts I didn't want stamped over.

     I added the two fences (293C and 289D) and then fit as many cows (154B, 157A,172A) in as I could.  I don't know why I added the mountains (211A) last as I usually start with them. We have a few on the island that look just like this stamp!

    Card Recipe
    Images: Stampscapes, The barn is from Sutter Stamps, Thank You is from Stampin Up
    Paper: Cryogen White, Glossy Black, Bazzill green, Whisper White 
    Markers/Ink: Moment Black, PanPastels, and a few Copics
    Embellishments: Distress Tea Dye
