Day dreaming 2014
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, we are starting The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist for this week is to make an “Easel”. I made an octagonal easel and I used one of Besties images #375. We have a couple of new team members on Twisted Thursday and we are so happy to have them , They are Sarah and Jane if you would like stop by their blogs and leave them some love. I’m still looking for one more design team member and if that is something you would like to do please leave me a note and I will stop by your blog. Olga is leaving us and that make me sad she will be missed as she has added a great amount help to the team and sharing all of her stunning cards thought out the years.

Peep Peep It’s your Birthday…..

Peep Peep It's your Birthday 2014
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog our challenge at The OutLawz Twisted Thursday has started and for this week it is “ANYTHING”.
So I choose this darling little girl and I have no idea what artist made her so if you by any chance know who the artist is would you please let me know. She is so adorable and I do not know where to put her as she has no home (file) to put her in.

Peep Peep It's your Birthday 2014  r
Used a spellbinder scalloped oval and my paper is from Graphic 45 secret garden. I burnished around her with brilliance sky blue and on the oval I used brilliance Victorian Violet.

For the small flowers I took a piece of the paper and folded it around them to make a wrap and tied two tiny bow using a fork. Both of the sentiments are from CrackerBox rubber stamps. I went around some of the edges with a purple pen and added some squiggles.

It’s never too late to kick your butt!

Its never too late to kick your butt 2014
Our challenge at Though the Craft Room Door challenge has started and all the challenges are “ANYTHING GOES”, the sponsor is Dr. Digi House of Stamps and this image is called “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dunderton”. Most of you know my grand son Isaiah who is now 16 years old has a black belt in Ta Kwan Do so this is the perfect card I’m going to send to him. He will get a big charge out of it. I’m also using this card for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the twisted is “your favorite Technique” and one of my favorite techniques are working with a watercolor wash and doing the background on my cards. We would love to see what your favorite technique is.

Still using my scraps. The sentiment I made it up in Microsoft Word.

Out of a piece of scrape paper I made a piece that kind of looked like a board, tried to rise it up a little. Use a small piece of plastic, so you could not see it.

More scraps and left it open so I can write a small note to Isaiah.

Thanks for stopping by, hope thing are well on your end. Took some pictures of some really pretty trees the other day. Tomorrow it is going to be real windy so I bet that will take care of a lot of stunning leaves that are still on the trees. I will try and share the tree with you. These are some beautiful ones. Have a wonderful week end.
