School Days~ A Shape Card for a few Challenges :)

Hi Everyone!

I have a card to share with you that I made with a couple of challenge in mind.

School is back in session for some....we still have 4 more weeks left till school starts here but all the back to school prep going on, and the numerous challenges out there I though my card would be school geared.

The School House shape card is actually an SVG file that I have had but never used. Usually I make sure I know where it came from to give credit back to the designer but for some reason I have no clue :(

I do have to say that after watching a tutorial yesterday on coloring your own ribbon I had to give it a try and I LOVE how it comes out!!

I used white grosgrain ribbon and my copics. How fun is that!

Now I will always have matching ribbon!!

The little school children are from PDDU which is a cart I have not used in forever! I cut them out at 1.6" and cut their heads off (oh that sounded so bad!) Their faces were stamped with Peachy Keen Simple Sallies.

Since I cut them in white I colored their faces again with my copic marker to look skin toned.

And lastly the sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe~ School Years file.

So I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Scrapbookaholic by Abby~Challenge #11 Back to School

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge~ Let's Face it Friday~ Shape Card

Paper Cutz Challenge~#103 School Days 1,2,3

Kimberli's Creations~  Using and Old Cart
Celebrate the Occasion~ #25 Back to School
My Sheri Crafts~ #66 Back to School
Queen of My Craftroom~ Back to School

Hope you like my project for today. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)

Birthday Card for Birthday Sundaes: Challenge #21~ Another Bugaboo Image

Hi Everyone!

It is Sunday and usually we have something planned...some sort of job around the house to get done but today is a LAZY day~ at least for me and I have been crafting all day.

Most of what I have been doing is DT work that I cant share at the moment but I did squeeze in some time to make a challenge card.

I know...Halloween is a ways away but I just love this skelekinz~Birthday digi from Bugaboo.

I colored her with my copics (I think my cricut is jealous...my copics have been getting tons of love lately) and layered her on a new paper stack I just picked up at Joanne's.

Cloud 9 Designs~Seasonal Stack.

The entire pack is Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas paper.

I stamped the "boo" with Fiskars Halloween Night Stamp Set

and the "birthday girl" with MPS Pinka-licious Stamp Set.

I added some homemade skittles and distressed the papers with my Tim Holtz paper distresser.

So there you have it...

I will enter this into the following Challenges:

Birthday Sundae's~ Challenge #21
Catch the Bug Challenge~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT night!!

A "Fishy" Birthday and a Challenge Reminder

Hi everyone!

Today is my father-in-laws birthday and to celebrate we had him and my mother-in-law over for his favorite meal~pizza and ice cream cake :)

We couldn't just give him his birthday present without a card so my oldest son and I made this card for him

He is a big fisherman~ spending every night out on the water when they are down at their cottage.

He loves to then come and tell my boys all his fish stories which they LOVE!!

He even said if he catches the "BIG" one it will be mounted and hung in the cottage.

To help along with his fishing of course we bought him some more gear.

Hey you never know right?!?!

Well my card is made with all scraps :)

The fish is from Create a Critter and he is on an Action Wobble

I did add some coral in the background which is kinda hard to see all of it in the picture and I had these clear gems that I added to look like bubbles.

Of course I used my gel pen~~I swear I can not live without it!!

We had a blast making this together and "Bajah"~ what my kids call their grandfather  loved his card.

Thats all I have for tonight but before I go please make sure you go over and visit Karen over at

Karen-Kakes-Krafts..... she is having a LO challenge that is only open for a few more days.

The prize~~ a your story bundle :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT night :)

Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge #17~~ Humor LOL!!

Morning Bloggers!!

It is time again for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.

Ready for this one....Challenge #17 is...

"Sense of Humor"

For this challenge you must include something funny, whether a funny photo or image and/or include some wording related to humor such as laugh, giggle, chuckle, funny, hysterical.

You get the picture...right. Lets make the DT laugh :)

So alittle background before I share my LO.

I posted awhile back about going to a birthday party with my son and the party having Nickle City Reptiles as their entertainment.

Not only do the kids LOVE seeing all the animals that Jeff brings...the adults LOVE listening to how funny Jeff is.

I attached a video link so you can see a small glimpse at how funny Jeff is.

He goes around locally and does birthday parties, the fair and school events~~ BUT~~ he also is a pretty regular Late Night with Jimmy Fallon guest.

Cool huh...so for my LO I did one of "Rockey" ~  the American Alligator

When Jeff brought Rockey out it was not funny :)

The kids were excited but screamed also. Not many of us get to see an alligator up close.

It just so happened that Rockey was in the mood to perform that day.

Doesn't it look like he is smiling?

The letters were cut with my cricut from Cuttin' Up and I added some white gel pen doodles

This picture cracks me up...LOL.. it really looks like he is laughing :)

Crazy that Jeff was able to put Rockey on his back and tickle him....actually I think he was just rubbing his belly but it looks like he is being tickled.

I added a couple of info circles as my journaling using my 2" circle punch.

I inked around the outside with coffee bean pigment ink.

The rub ons are from DCVW~ Safari Kids

Here is my alligator from Create a Critter. He is too cute not to put on this.

I embossed him with my Tiny Mosaic cuttlebug folder.

So there you have it :)

Do you think this is funny?!?!

Hope so and hope you will join us this week over at Whimsical Wednesdays  for our "Sense of Humor" challenge.

Remember you have 2 weeks to enter. Don't forget to check out the other DT's LO's. I know they are all so funny and so very inspirational.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Bloggers!

I am on a roll with these super cute Bugaboo Digi's.

Here is another Christmas card I made featuring Knobby Knees Christmas Wagon Digi from Bugaboo.

He was colored with my copics.
