DYSU Challenge #21 - Animals

I am placing this anniversary card in the DYSU challenge Animals.  I hope it fits their theme.  Love those stinking skunks from Dusin Pike.  I colored them with pencils this time.  I used Black, White and Red card stock, Martha Stewart's amazing punch and my nestabilities scallop and circle die, plus some gems and glitter for sparkle.  The saying was generated on my computer "Your love... Is heaven scent"  (How cute huh?).  I hope you all enjoy.  Thanks for stoping by and I hope you come back real soon.  By the way DYSU is also looking for a couple of DT members.  Wish me luck.

Go see DYSU and join in the fun.

Pike's Playground Challenge Time - Shades of Green

     I love Dustin's challenges!  Shades of Green was a hoot.  I used his Chameleon and Vine images.  Found the saying on the net and used two of Martha Stewart's boarder punches.  I hope everyone enjoys the card.  I did not show the inside but I think "but it's better then being blue".  Leave me a comment, and tell me what you think. 

Go visit Dustin at his blog and join the challenge.

Pay It Forward 2011

Today is Denni's birthday and to celebrate it she is participating in a wonderful little blog project called... Pay It Forward 2011!  

She read about it while visiting Linda's amazing blog The Funkie Junkie and knew instantly it was the perfect way of celebrating - sharing friendship, inspiration and creativity all while "paying it forward."

Here's how it works....the first five people who comment on this blog post will receive a handmade gift from me.  In return, you must FIRST write a blog post explaining Pay It Forward 2011. Then.... send out a handmade gift to the first five visitors who leave a comment. 

You can take your time, they don't all have to be sent today or tomorrow, and it's not the size or value of the gift but the lovely spirit of Pay it Forward.

This is such a great way to connect with friends or make new ones, all while sharing the things we create with our hearts and hands!  Visit Denni over at starlightscrapper.blogspot.com.

I commented on Denni's page so who will be the first five to comment on mine?  Will it be you?  Hope so!

Challenge - Dudley and His Power Wheels

I always have so much fun working with Dustin's images.  I am entering this in  Dustin Pike's "Dudley and His Power Wheels" Challenge.  Dudley is so much fun to play with.  I will be sending this card out to my dad in a couple months.  I used this great paper that I downloaded and used for the first time ever the paper fasteners that I recently got in the mail.  Love the saying I believe it was said by Mark Twain. 

Join the fun over at Dustin Pike's challenge

Missing you card

Loving those spinner cards right now.  Taught a 4 hour class on spinners over the weekend and had a blast.  Made this one for a good friend who will be missing her daughter very much.  I think the map background is perfect for this card.   Working on a card now for Dustin's contest and hope to upload it in a couple days.  See you then.   

Visit me again soon!
