More Birdies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I made this card, I die cut a couple sets of birdies and they 

needed a home.  So for some Friday fun,  I'm playing with these 'tweet' birdies.

Three found their way on this card.  I die cut the frame from patterned paper with

a very subtle pattern and popped that over some embossed leaves.

Two more found their way to welcome a new baby.  I rarely need a baby card, but

my daughters ask for one once in awhile.  That yellow cardstock was a gift from a

friend.  I love this light, bright shade and will be sad when it's all gone.  Fortunately

she gave me several 12 x 12 sheets.

Three Birdies for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for another challenge from Color Hues!

This month Carol picked one of my favorite combination!  She chose....

My first thought was to go with bees.  But I'd done a bee recently.  Then I saw my 

friend Leslie's adorable birdie card.  It sent me shopping immediately (thanks for the

enabling, my friend.  Like Leslie, I die cut the birds from patterned paper.

The dies cut six different birdies and I only used three here.  You'll be seeing

more of them pop up from time to time.  I had such a good time playing with them!

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our

fantastic Guest Designers Barbara Campbell & Diana Karlova have done to inspire you.

I hope you'll create a card using Yellow & Black and add it to the gallery at

Color Hues.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on June 29th.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Most importantly, just have fun!

Deer to Me

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Ooh, it's been hot.  The air conditioner is having trouble keeping the heat

at bay upstairs in my craft room.  But I managed to get a card done.

Michele's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches nearly stumped me.

I think I made it harder on myself because I needed to make an anniversary card

for my DH.  We have been married a l-o-n-g time and that anniversary is looming!

Here's the sketch

I remembered a pad of decorative paper that has some pretty scenes in it and looked

through to see if I could find one that would work. 

It took a couple of tries, but I found one that worked and cut it up and rearranged it

to make some hills with a sunrise/sunset over the hills.

Then there was the problem of finding a die cut to go with it.  My only tree die 

didn't work, but these deer did.  I had to do a little surgery on one of them as one is

supposed to be me and she deer don't have antlers.

Once I got the hills figured out the rest was easy.  A little sponging on the deer

was all that was needed.

In the end, I'm happy with the card and enjoyed the challenge.

Thanks, Michele!

Now I'd better get it over to Freshly Made Sketches before they lock the door.
