Oddball May Midway FB challenge

Image
It's Saturday!!! YAY I'm super happy to have the full day to do just what I want lol.  I slept in late (1st thing on my list).  And I will be crafting as well today but since it's gorgeous outside instead of the blah rainy day that was anticipating... I will have to go and play outside a bit as well. Anyway enough about me I'm here to share with you what I made for the FB challenge that is going on for Oddball . For my make I made the card for my son that was turning 15 years old using the image 163 . The paper that I used is from Simple stories.  I colored the image with my copics.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC and it was cut out using the deckled rectangle from Spellbinder. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Art by miran challenge  - Anything goes C.R.A.F.T.  - Birthdays Drs designs blog  - It's a guy thing Moving along with the times  - Man or boy Star stampz  - Birthday That's it for this post!!!  Hope you

Hey everyone!  It's time for a new release over at  The east wind  and this time it's a great Cowgirl image!!!  LOVE her and just HAD to play with her to make a postcard (yup I'm obsessed with them but you have to admit it's awesome to make little reminders to the ones that you love that you are thinking of them. I made a little video of my process yet again: I have put this little postcard in my Etsy store and you can see it here . And here is the make with this fab image I used an image from a magazine cut out.  The sentiment was found on google and I wrote it on word document to be printed and added to this.  The washi tape that I have put on this is from a swap.  And you have to see the video to see the paint as well as the stencils that I used.

I want to start out this post by wishing all the wonderful mother's out there a fabulous Mother's day!  I really hope you get spoiled in all kinds of little ways. I made a little mother's day card using a great image from the heart stamps called Bouquet chick.  I thought it would be totally perfect for making a little mother's day card. I colored the fab image withe my copics.  The image was cut out with a grand label 11 from Spellbinder and I used my scallop and circle dies from Spellbinder for the sentiments.  I added a little double ribbon bow and some bling.  The paper is from Oh la la for her by my mind's eye.  I really love how bright and cheerful this came out :) I'm entering this in the following challenges: From the heart stamps  - Sketch or twist - I did the twist with the ribbon Open-minded crafting fun  - Easter/spring or pastel - this is pastel and would also be perfect for spring :) Come and get it challenge  - Card for a woman C
