May Day

Happy May Day!!!

Is that something that you celebrate???

I remember when I was a little girl that we would leave flowers on our

adoptive grandmothers front step...

I think this is maybe a long forgotten holiday to bring in Spring!

It is sort of comical since it's been over 100 for the last 3 days here in Phoenix!

But I wanted to play with some of my new washi tape!

I got the sketch from Flutterby Wednesdays,

and I just love this awesome butterfly washi, and the new little blue washi too!

Do you celebrate May Day??  Take a minute to look it up, it's a fun little holiday!

It's my party

Happy Thursday all my bloggy friends!

I had a snippet of time to craft today, and I went at it!

My girlfriend Sasha was admiring a bookmark I was using at work last night, and

she showed me her bookmark.... it was an old napkin!

That simply is not acceptable, so I let her rifle through my digi's and she pointed out this one

from Saturated Canary.

This of course immediately brings to mind the song "It's my Party" by Leslie Gore.

I colored her up using my copics, prismacolor markers, and a bic fine tip sharpie!

I die cut her out, and also the little sign is a die cut as is the heart!

The graphic black and white background was some tissue paper that DH was gonna throw away... I saved it from a life of misery in a landfill!!! 

Here is the close up of the digi!

I'm still struggling with coloring hair....

I hope you like what you've seen today!

Cow's it Going??

Lucky me, I had some time to create today!

I LOVE playing along with challenges

And I love to try to fit as many challenges into one project as possible

I KNOW you probably already know that if you follow my blog at all.....

Soooo today I made this cute card!

I have wanted to try paper piecing for a while now, and this is sort of using that technique

if you look close at the boy cow's overalls you can see that is actually a piece

of old jeans I have in my craft room that I use for scraps!

There, that's a better view...

and see the cute sentiment??  Cow's it going??  like I told hubby, thats Punny...

Oh goodness, I must of had too much caffiene today!

First this cute cow pair is a stamp from la la land crafts I colored them up

using my copic and prismacolor markers

I added stitching to the denim paper behind the cute pair and backed with the

fun polk a dot paper!

Then I added the butterfly which is a stamp from Denami designs

and the buttons seemed to round out the bottom, I then slapped on a quickie flower and

voila!!!!  The background paper is kraft resist from my boyfriend Tim Holtz

so you ask how many challenges can I fit onto one page???
