A Cute Snowman


Have you ever finished a project and then realized that you forgot a key point or requirement?  Well this week's Squigglefly challenge is You're a Dear - use a dear sentiment or a deer.  I finished my card, uploaded it and then looked at everyone else's cards.  They all had deers and dear sentiments and mine had neither.  Had to go back and add a little IO deer to the bg - looks like of funny back there, but I am going to give this one to my Hubby and this weekend was the start of when you can hunt deer in AL with regular guns so it is appropriate for him as he is in deer hunting mode now - he probably even dreams about them!  My image is by Cheryl Grant Alger and is called Star Bright Star Light - the sentiment is by Charlene Mitchell. 

Come join in the challenge fun!

    Yes, I have done the exact same thing. I love this card. The pink background is a very nice change of pace for a snowman and the deer is looking to be hiding behind the snowman so none of those hunters can find him. All and all it turned out to be a fantastic card. Wishing you a great week ahead.

    I think the deer is precious poking his head out to get a glimpse of that fantastic snowman - and hiding from all the hunters at the same time!! LOVE your card and those colors are so fun and pretty.

    Wonderful card, and I think it was a happy accident you forgot the dear and had to stick him back there since this card is for your husband. The white dear on your card blends in as well as the real ones do in the woods!

    Oh my goodness-isn't that just so darn cute. I am in love with this. And it's pink. I am having a pink Christmas this year. I haven't been all that much into it. I didn't even put all my things out. But I made myself put up a tree and 1 garland. I always have a tree in my foyer that I decorate for each season - so two trees instead of 4 or 5 . So they are all pink. Something new with not a lot of memories attached.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
