Chandelier Inspired Card

This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge pics are wonderful again!!!
 

 
I love all of them and could have gone with any one of the 50 ideas they inspired in my mind!  I needed a birthday card for my Pop so I went a little more masculine (hence the colors, textures, and camo paper).  He loved it! 
 
 
 
I used MFP's Oh Beans and Hot Air Balloons sets.  Hope you have time to come play with us in the next two weeks - we would really love to see how these pictures inspire you too.
 
Hugz!

    What a very cool card for your Pop. I love the burlap, corrugated board, and feathers for steam. You are so clever.
    Nancy, my wonderful package of winnings arrived yesterday. Love it and looking forward to using those stamps. Thanks so much.

    I would have to say this is an ideal card for a Dad. It has the masculine look coupled with the little heart to let him know you love him. Love that "steaming" coffee. Have a wonderful day. We are getting a trace - 2 inches of snow tomorrow morning.

    what a great take on the inspiration photos, Nancy! Your dad will love the warmth of your pretty card. (Happy Birthday to Your Dad!) LOL Actually, I'd love making the teacup projects in your inspiration pieces, and even the unusual cascading chandelier with the utensils - but I'd hat cleaning them and dusting them! Great project, Nancy! hugs, de

    What an amazing masculine card for your Pop! I love the corrugated panel, but how did you create the steam from the cups?! That's incredibly creative and I love how it turned out! NJ!

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....
