Who doesn't love a cowboy....

especially when he looks like this? ;)  This image is from Victoria Case and can be found here.  I just love her images and how vesitle they are.  I'm actually having her draw up a picture of Abby to give to Brian for Father's Day, the sketches I've seen so far are awesome and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Hula Lili

Last week I received my shipment of stamps from Inky Impressions and couldn't wait to play with them.  I really couldn't decide which one to ink up first so I let Abby decide and she choose "Hula Lili".    I kept the card simple with only one designer paper but added the layer of four flowers with the bow and a palm tree charm hanging from it. 

Masculine Card

After Friday's post I knew I wanted to create another card using the Into the Moonlight set because I wasn't "feeling" that one.  So today during nap time I sat down and made this one.  Each month I receive a kit in the month from Annie's Attic and up until today I haven't touched them.  They gave directions to make this card using an car stamp and everything :)

I really liked how this one turned out and I will tell you I'm glad to see my mojo back :)

Note:  The image looks shiny but it really isn't, I think it's just the glare off the ink.

Do you love Victoria Case images???

Then come join me in this brand new yahoo where we can all get together and share our creations using her stamps/images and just have some fun.   Make sure you pass this along to your friends :)

The Greeting Farm Thursday Challenge

This is the first week for The Greeting Farm's Thursday's Scrapbook challenges and it was to create a page using Greeting Farm stamps only (logically LOL).   I had origianlly made this last week for the Team challenge but it wasn't used and has been sitting on my desk so I thought it would be perfect for this and I'm happy to be able to show you all finally.

This is a picture of Abby when she was 10 months old dressed up as a Koala bear for Halloween.  Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks :)

Artful INKables/Think INK post

My post today is a card I made for this week's Think INK challenge which there is still plenty of time to join.  The challenge this week was issued by Jackie and it was to use a color swatch on the card.  Now this was definitely a challenge for me as I had no clue what I was going to do.

I ended up taking the pawn from the "Into the Moonlight" set from Artful INKables, stamped that on the swatch added some dew drops and ribbon, then mounted it on my card base.  I'm not too sure about it (kind of seems like the norm lately) but I'm hoping to have more time to play this weekend as the painting is finally done! (We painted our bedroom where my craft stuff is). 

So check back this weekend as I should have more stuff for you :)

Catch the Bug Challenge/Blog Hop

Welcome to another awesome challenge at Catch the bug.  This time around you are to use a bug...image, paper, embellishment, whatever you like just as long as there is a bug on there :)   You should have arrived from Scrappy's blog, isn't she just awesome??  Now I have two projects to share with you today.


First is one using the Ladybug Bug Jar.  The papers I used are some that I got free from Piggy Tales.  For some reason I couldn't pull this one together and this is what I ended up with--yuk!!! 

So since I hated this first one, I thought I'd give it another shot and used the Bugaboo Brats bug-snail image.  The tree stump is from CC Designs (found at All that Scraps) and the papers are once again from the free pile that I got from Piggy Tales.

If you're saying to yourself "I don't have any bugs laying around my craft room, well guess what this is just one of the awesome "bugs" you can find at the store!!  If you click on her, you will be brought right to the section where she can be found along with all the other adorable bugs---which I desperately need all of them :)

 Now it's time to make your way to Melissa's blog and she what she created for you today!  If you get lost along the way you can go back to the Catch the Bug blog and find your spot.
