Rock Chick



Good morning everyone....hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I have been viewing many blogs in the past few days and I have to say that there are so many talented ladies out there making such beautiful cards. You are all such an inspiration!
I made this Kenny K girlie for Friday Sketchers Challenge #116 utilizing a wonderful sketch by the very talented Bea.
The papers are from K&Co.(a gift from my dear friend Jacque....thank you!). The supercute guitar charm was a gift from another dear friend...thank you Claudia!
I sprayed the doily with glimmer mist. It was such a pleasure coloring this cute image. I think my son will get this card for his birthday. I already made a card for him, but I think he will appreciate this one more. He is an accomplished guitarist and used to be in a band.

Hot Pink Hanglar Challenge



Hello everyone and a very happy Tuesday! Well, the three card making divas, Claudia, Carole and Jacque, are having another Hanglar challenge and this time we are to use hot pink. I think my card is HOT enough, but after I finished it and I took a closer look, I thought "hmmmmmm...should have used a more summery image! Darn....too late! I didn't feel like starting over.
The flowers and tiny ribbon are from a monthly kit I get from Crafty Feeling. If memory serves me right, I think the papers are Girls Paperie. I used a MS heart punch and a gold corner from Kort & Godt.

Western Tilda



Good morning everyone and a very happy Sunday! I just returned from my walk with "Buddy" and was still contemplating whether this card is "post worthy"...LOL
Well, obviously I decided to go ahead and take the leap! My friend Jacque posted a card on her blog yesterday using the same image and she did a magnificent job!
This is too funny because it is the second time we were working on the same image at the same time!!!!
Well, I used my Stampscapes for the background mountain. Of course, I had to take out the horse.....wouldn't be a western scene without the horse! The corner is from Megahobby and I made the flower with my Nellie Snellen punches. The images were colored with copics.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my sweet friend DANIELLE for the lovely blog award. Unfortunately, I could not fulfill all the requirements due to time constraints, but I am so appreciate to this sweet and wonderful lady.
I am humbled and honored! Thank you!
