W2SB challenge: "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb"

The current challenge at Words2ScrapBy is "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb", a great challenge for the weather we've all had, especially the folks in New England! It was a bit balmy here today in Northern Virginia but they're calling for 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow! So our March is definitely coming in like a lion.

As I browsed through one of my favorite vintage image websites, www.clearlyvintage.blogspot.com,  I saw this image from an old children's magazine and thought it would be perfect for the challenge. I added some clouds to the background with a Hero Arts stamp to add to the blustery day feeling.

I just spoke to my brother in Florida; he said it's 85 and sunny there today...not too jealous!

Here's my card:

Inspired by a magazine photo

I was reading the current Yankee magazine issue and a photo from one of the articles inspired me to make a card; I love the vintage look, of course, the colors, the hobby horse and the painted floor and walls:

I used the new OWH Sketch 249 and added the ribbon for the Cards In Envy "Anything Goes: Add a Bow" challenge.  I found the old-fashioned rocking horse digi at an Etsy shop called CuteAsAButtonDigis:

 

I'm definitely going to save this magazine photo for further ideas!! Thanks for stopping by.

One more for the kids

I made this card for a little girl using a Melonheadz Illustrating digi and a wood-mounted sentiment from Rubber Soul that I recently found:

 

Come back soon!

 

Cards for Kids: OWH challenge

I am so happy to be finished with an illustration commission and enjoying time to make cards!! Here's one for the OWH Midmonth Throwdown: Cards for Kids. I'm having some issues with focusing my new camera. I messed her eyes up a little but that's because I Can't Leave Well Enough Alone. Thanks for visiting!

February ODBD challenge at OWH: animals

The February ODBD challenge theme at OWH is "animals". This is one of two Penny Black stamps I recently ordered from One-Two-Three Stitch. Such a sweet drawing. I colored with Prismacolor pencils.

 

Be sure to whip up an animal-themed card and post it at the challenge. I was one of the two random winners for January and it's so much fun to go shopping at Our Daily Bread Designs! One thing I did not realize before is that they sell pre-folded "fancy fold" card bases. What a great thing to have a few of them on hand when you need them in a hurry!

OWH Super Bowl team colors challenge

I used my new Penny Black "Nose to Nose" Slapstick stamp for the first time. It's so adorable! My colors are mostly red, white and blue for the Patriots, with a bit of bright green and silver, because I also like the Seahawks! May the best team win! I colored this little guy with Copics.
