Help Me Find My Pup!


Last week Digital Delights showcased their new western images and for my card this week I wanted to carry on the theme with this great wanted sign.  I added one of the lonely pups images and a Spellbinders die to complete the poster.




So, I have a reward for you if you can find my pup!  I am offering a little candy for searching my blog and finding where I posted a picture of my little dog.  Leave a comment on that post so that I know you found it and then leave a comment here telling me that you found my pup (but do not give away the post date!).  I will draw a random winner from all the comments with my Digital Delights post next week.


Card Recipe:
Paper:  Gina K Casual Friday, SU Early Espresso, Glossy black
Marker/inks:  Copics W1, W3, W5, E13, E15, E17
Embellishments:  Spellbinders Fleur de Lis rectangle, Michael's brads, Prima pearls

Don't Mess With The Sheriff!

I am always looking for boy card ideas and when I saw this silhouette at Digital Delights I knew just what to do with it.  I have two young (8 and 2) grandsons and they would both be excited about a sheriff with a gun. It is funny how little boys (all kids, really) always seem to be pretending to play bandit or cowboys even if all mention of guns has been kept out of the home.


I combined three digi images together with Gimp (free software).  I printed out the scene and then distressed the edges.  I applied Distress Tea Dye to the edges and around the images.  I colored the badge with a bit of Copic C1 and the cactus with G24 and G21.

Card Recipe:
Images: Cowboy Silhouette, Wild West Accessories
Paper: Gina K Casual Friday, SU Brown
Markers/Inks: Copics C1, G21, G24, Distress Tea Dye
Embellishments: Cactus charm, Prima pearls, brown twine

Craft a Scene Spring Flowers Challenge

Hello from sunny BC!  We are having the best weather this weekend!  As I look around I can see the end of daffodils and the start of tulips and other spring bulbs.  My fruit trees are blooming with the promise of summer fruit.  I think this actually might be my favorite season.


My card today is for the Craft a Scene Spring Flowers challenge.  I used a couple of my favorite Make it Crafty images.  I saw the log and flowers last year and fell in love.  I used digi images and Gimp (free) software to put the girl on the log.

Let My Silhouette Friends Show You The Way!


I made this special card because I have been playing around with silhouette scenes for the last month over at Craft a Scene challenge blog.  Wendy at Digital Delights just came out with a number of great silhouette images and I just had to try a couple.
