An Odd Chick



The chick is really not odd, but this week's Squigglefly challenge is "Odd Man Out" (SFC1713) and calls for images or embellishments or other items in "odd" numbers. I used one image, one sentiment, three stars, three Stickle drops on each side of the sentiment, five red Stickle drops on the top flower, and three gems. My image is Let's Get Cookin' by Mike Eustis and it was one of the first images I ever bought from Squigglefly. I just love baby chicks. My sentiment says "Cooking in Style" and inside it says "Thanks to your Generousity!" - it is one of the Thank You cards I made for my daughter to send for her Wedding Shower Gifts.

I am entering this card in the Sketch Saturday challenge as I used the super fun sketch #256.

The Squigglefly challenge is such a great challenge and so easy to play along with! Anyone can join in the fun using images from anywhere, but you need to use a Squigglefly image somewhere on your creation to be eligible for the challenge prize. Luckily there are free images (bg digi papers, frames, and images) that are super cute - here is a card I made with one of the images available free in the store:




Hugz!

    Loving the paper pieced chef's hat on the chick - too cute!! Need to find one like if for hubby LOL! I am hoping our hummers find the feeder this year as a tree has blocked it off quite a bit this year. May have to move it as I just love seeing them. Nice touch with the gems in the corner.

    OMGoodness Nancy - that little chick is just the cutest - what a great idea to paper-piece his hat! Love the super cheerful colours! Your hummingbird card is also so pretty - love the embossed background and the colours really pop! Great idea to showcase the freebie too!

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....

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...

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 ...
