to a deer friend...

Hello!

How are you doin'? I'm still trying to recuperate from the weekend...My girl had a soccer game that was about 150 miles round trip from where we live...that is for recreational soccer not competitive...oy.

I managed to get a ton of DT work done over the weekend, which is always good. I also squeaked out some pub subs {crossing my fingers...}...that is a treat for me since I never seem to be able to carve out time to submit and evidently I tend to have the "I work better under pressure motto" and leave things to the last minute...

Anywho's...I've been so {happily} slammed with DT work that I haven't been able to jump into very many challenges lately so I was happy to whip up this card:

The first thing to note is I inked up my HIGHLY neglected TGF Forest Friends...omgoodness..it has been much too long...I stamped the deer on PTI kraft and surrounded her with October Afternoon goodness....the sentiment is ala A Muse. I stitched around the entire panel...can't seem to complete a card without stitching and my poor janome is getting old and tired...

I was inspired by Sasya's sketch 27:

I found the Sasya Sketch challenge blog via Dana and now Sherry's on the team too! You should check out the site...the design team is fabbie...such an international flair to it...the styles are all unique and wonderful, that's what makes up a great design team!

Make sure you tune into Skipping Stones Design Blog tomorrow for the start of a very special 2-day event....You won't want to miss it...

owl be there...

I tell you, Pam has so much patience with me...on more than one occasion have I switched up cards on her for DT work...LOL. I'll submit something to her and then think about it and change my mind. This is one of those cards...for you 365 Cards peeps, do you know what one I 'had' submitted this for? Give up? It is for this ONE. I'm much happier with the one that I eventually submitted for the challenge but still think this one is fun :) I really think that The Greeting Farm has some super sweet images...I typically gravitate to the animal ones...although this ONE is fantabulous. This is a 4.25 inch square card...Stampin' up Basic Gray teamed up with, yup, Amy Butler goodness. Check out her eyeshadow and you guessed it, she has recently had a pedi with my Sakura Stardust pen.

On a side note, D and I spent the weekend in Montana. He was in a golf tournament with his Dad, Uncle and cousin. I tagged along...no, I didn't golf...I drove myself 70+ miles into Missoula. I emailed the most fabulous Lea Lawson of, Life needs a few more Cupcakes & Sunshine, to see if she could recommend a good shop that I could visit. Oh boy did she...The Scrapbook Hide-Away is where I went. OhMyGoodness....talk about chock full of goodness...I think that their specialty is paper...wow...so much fabulous paper...I stocked up...get this, the entire shop was 25% off AND tax free...woot woot! Oy Vey...

Here's to a fabulous week!!!

sassy deer

This sassy'licious card is for Jen's SFYTT...I hadn't had a chance to ink up the sweet deer in The Greeting Farm's Forest Friends...so I knew I was going to team her up with my Sassafras papers. All the white portions of her are glittered up with Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds and I used Copic Frost Blue for a smidge of eyeshadow..LOL. The buttons are from my Foof-a-la bag...love those things!!

I hope that everyone had a magnificent weekend...why do the days just fly by at warp speed? Oh yes, perhaps it was because my daughter had her belated birthday slumber party on friday night...she invited 7 girls and most of the evening they spent playing Rock Band. I don't own a Wii, just borrowing it, but I can see what all the hoopla is with that Rock Band {do they have a disco version?}. ...it is fun, although it makes me realize how shot my hand-eye coordination is. Back in the 80's I'd spend my allowance at the arcade playing video games...you know..Pac-Man, frogger, centipede, donkey kong...those days are long gone :) Anywho's, back to the slumber party...my daughter had a ton of fun, and that's what it is all about...oh yeah, and it got her to clean her bedroom {bonus!}.

Here's to a happy Monday and a fabulous week!!!

sassy friend

Okay, those of you that follow my blog know that I seriously dig Sassafras Lass...love their fun and funky stuff. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything new from Sassafras until I used most of what I still have...that's all good since I still love what I have...I could never tire of sassy stuff. Okay, my card...it's a "3 fer 1". I was able to complete 3 challenges in 1 card..that's HUGE for me:

Jen's SFYTT

Moxie Fab World's That's for the Birds Challenge

Caardvarks Critter Caard Challenge

Woot Woot!!!

I recently received my very 1st, The Greeting Farm set, Forest Friends. I just couldn't resist the deer, the owl and the sweet chipmunks... I gotta say that the TGF stamps are magnificent...love them.

Yup, this owl has glitter'licious eyeshadow on and has recently had a glittery pedi too.

You know you're a blogging/blurfing geek when you feel accomplished to have taken a peek at all of the 2S4Y from last week along with the new Caarvarks Critter challenge..that was me, last night:)
