Rose Colored Glasses and Christmas Card #1


The Octopode Factory Friday Challenge (TOFF#44) is Pink. I haven't had a chance to use my fun Mad Hatter Octopode so I pulled him out and dressed him up in Rose Colored Glasses. I made the bg paper by sponging all my SU! Pink ink pad colors all over the paper, using an old SU! glasses stamp with Stazon Black, and then filling in the glasses with SU! Dazzling Details. I put 3 coats of Glossy Accents on the Mad Hatter's glasses after I colored them with Copic Markers.


This card was for the Delicious Doodles Challenge #18 which is a Bingo challenge where you select a line and use all the elements from that line on your card. I chose the line requiring Punches (I used the McGill branch punch), flowers, and a Delicious Doodle image. I just discovered Delicious Doodles yesterday, and I have to tell you that they are wonderful! The artwork is wonderful, and the images are so easy to pop up and add texture. Christmas Card #1 down - only 99 more to go - LOL!

Hugz to all!

    Cute Octopode card. I need some of those rose colored glasses...sometimes I need to see things a bit differently than is my usual style.
    Great Christmas card! Of course, I haven't made #1 yet and will be in the mad rush about October.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
