Neutral Hogs and Kisses

Wow!  I can't believe it has been months since I last posted to my blog.  Don't you hate when life gets in the way of your crafting?  Well, I am back and furiously making cards to replenish my stash and for the design team I joined - DRS Designs Rubber Stamps.  DRS Designs has a wide variety of rubber stamps and they focus on awesome sentiments and versatile images.  I am so in love with everything they offer!

The challenge this week is Put It In Neutral (#172).  The theme is the basic neutrals such as white, tan, ivory, kraft, brown, black and gray.  I ended up making a card with all those great colors plus a little yellow and green (but I went over those colors with a touch of tan).  My pig looks a bit pink, but he is really a weird shade of tan. 



 
 
To make this card, I look a scrap of a gray based tan paper and hand cut a heart.  Next I stamped my cute little Leonard stamp (Leonard Pig Rose Offering) then used the fun Splatter Background stamp to mimic mud splatters.  I stamped Leonard a few more times and popped him up and placed him inside as well.  Then I used one of my favorite sentiments, Hogs and Kisses, and the new Picket Fence image. I put it all on a piece of a box I had laying around because I so love to use cardboard on my cards so my husband has to pay extra to mail them! LOL!
 
This was a super fun card to make.  Hope you will join us in this challenge!  I promise to get around in the next few days and see what you all have been up to lately. 
 
Hugz,
 
Nancy

They are very lucky to have you. I love this card and you made me laugh with your statement about the extra postage. LOL Wishing you a wonderful day. Now I have to get back to making cards and blogging now.

    This lil' piggy is so adorable, thinking he is lovable, even though he is covered with MUD! Congrats on the DT position, and looking forward to seeing lots more, now that you are BA-ACK!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
