Annie

The extended weekend over the 4th allowed Sherri and I to get together and make cards Saturday and Monday. Great fun. We have our own little DT consisting of Sherri, her cat and me.  Sherri made 3 and I made one. The woman is fast and talented. Here is what I made.



This is Annie. She is one of the front and back series from Art Impressions.  She was colored with Copics. Since her clothes were suggested sailing, I thought I would have her looking from a port hole.  One I had her colored, I traced a Spellbinders die to make the port hole and colored it with grays. I also used a Spellbinders die to cut her out and mount her on DP from My Mind's Eye.  Sherri had given me those fabulous die cut corners a long time ago, so I can't tell you which Company. I did have to scold her, because I could only find 3, so this was my solution. The sentiments are as follows:  "Miss You" and "sending you smiles across the miles" are Paper Trey Ink and "Happy Birthday" is Stampabilities. The flowers on the inside are Penny Black.  


Check out Sherri's blog here to see what the other half of our two person DT made.

I'M BACK!

I hope I haven't lost any followers. I really have a lot of guilt. Not because I haven't posted, but because I have neglected a you lovely ladies and your wonderful creative blogs. You are my inspiration.  So hears a big thanks to all of you who have stuck by me.


and the inside


a closer look


This is Becky a front and back series from Art Impressions. I love her little freckled face. The image is perfectly matched so if you have the patience you can actually cut them out and paste. I colored Becky with Copics and I free handed the fence. The awesome paper is from My Mind's Eye. I cut her out with Spellbinders dies and topped it off with some pretty gingham ribbon I picked up at Hobby Lobby. The "Thanks" is from Hero Arts. 

 I finally got the last piece of furniture today. As soon as I put it together with some finishing touches, I will post my before and after.  

I haven't entered a challenge forever, so if anyone knows a category this fit, please let me know. 

Hugs and happy Spring to all.
