Strawberry Red

Close Up


February is definitely the month for the color red, and not just because of Valentine's day (or, if you prefer, Single Awareness Day). February is also the month of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® campaign.
Our featured ingredient for our Catered Crop Recipe Swap is the color Red!
Catered Crop Red
I chose an oldie but goodie stamp I found in my stash from House Mouse.  How could you not love this adorable little guy.  His belly is full.  I also dusted off my Prisma pencils.  They needed some love.  The yoyo flower is made of fabric from my stash.  


Playing along is easy as cherry pie.
  • Just use the color red somewhere in your project.
  • Include a link to us at Catered Crop or just add our button, which you can grab on our sidebar or at our {button gallery}.
  • Link up and link often, but be sure you link up by 8:00 PM EST on Saturday, March 3.
  • Keep the party hopping by visiting the other players and leaving comments. Do be sure to comment on the other player's post because sometimes I really do check.
Need some ideas? Here's a whole gallery of creative ways to use red in your projects. You can click on the inspiration board below to go to a Pinterest board with the sources of these pictures and more gorgeous ideas and brilliant tutorials.





Paper and Such is an online store with everything a paper crafter could want. The Paper and Such line of clear photopolymer stamps is so much fun (check out the chickens) and they're made right here in the USA! They carry all my favorite papers: Cosmo Cricket, My Mind's Eye, Jillibean Soup and more. There are adhesives, dies, embellishments, twine, ribbon . . . yep, paper crafter's candy store. Be sure to visit their Paper and Such Design Blog for beautiful inspiration and weekly challenges.
One very lucky randomly picked player will get to go shopping at Paper and Such with a $20 Gift Certificate.
Be sure to come back Sunday, February 26, to check out what our Top Chefs, Guest Chefs and Celebrity Chefs from Paper and Such have dished up for you.

House Mouse and Friends Challenge

This is a set of cards I made for the House Mouse and Friends Blog DT challenge.  We were to take the same image and use it twice.  The first time we were to create a simple card with the image being the focal point. 
The second card we were to really go OVER THE TOP.. use designer paper, layers, glitter and lots of extras.  This is what I came up with.   These candy canes took me forever to color.  It is amazing what a difference the extras make.  I colored the top card with prisma pencils.  This card was colored with copics and I used my prisma pencils to highlight..





Lots of coloring but I love any House Mouse image.. They are so fun to create with.. I now have 2  more Christmas cards completed.  Thanks so much to the HM team for giving me this opportunity.. Good luck to all of the participants..

Banana Split Sunday



I created this for several challenges.  I chose this image and the layout for the Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast.  Dancerriley was the FS today and her gallery is awesome.  The second challenge was for Banana Split Sunday.. We had a sketch challenge.  The last challenge was for the House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge to create a card based on a movie.  I chose this one and found that there was a movie in 1957 called Wild Strawberries..hehe.. I think that fits..

House Mouse FS card

This card is not this bright IRL. I made this for the Featured Stamper on SCS today. The image is an RAK image from me friend Terri. Love it. Sentiment is Verve. Colored with pencils and gamsol. Hope you all had a great weekend. I know the Midwest was wet. We had 80 degrees both days. It was gorgeous.

Hugs,
Dawn
