A Speckled Business Card

Don't you love it when a plan comes together? My youngest daughter, Allie, has decided to start a booth at a flea market.  She has picked out the cutest name for her business - The Speckled Farmhouse.  She has a darling blog if you want to visit it (CLICK HERE).  Last night we were kicking around ideas for her business cards and sale tags, and this morning I decided to play in the Splitcoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge. Then two ideas collided and this is what happened:


I was inspired by THIS business card (the Inspiration Challenge was based on a great Pinterest board that is nothing but super cool business cards).  Hope Allie likes it.

Hugz!

    Your design for the business cards is wonderful! They're unique and fun. I wish your daughter well in her new adventure.
    I went over and checked out her blog and it's great! Y'all really did find some good deals and fun stuff. Love the minnow baskets! I go to yard sales whenever I can too. They're fun and you just never know what you'll find. Had to laugh at the sewing machine table she bought. I'm sitting here looking at mine that is exactly like that. I still use that old sewing machine otherwise I'd be re-doing mine just like hers!

    Nancy, Th card came out fabulous and just "looks" like the perfect one for Alex's new business venture. I've checked out her blog (all of it) and I love everything she has done. My Hubby and I have been thinking of getting into up-scaling flee market finds lately and just this weekend I purchased a couple of little items to redo. I hope I can learn as much as Alex has and have as much success. Have a wonderful day.

    This is such a fun idea Nancy! I love the speckles you've added along with the texture. Great idea for a business card. Thanks for sharing.

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!

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....

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....
