Sundays With Crissy--Challenge #14--Love

Well hello there!! Happy February!! Gotta say, I wasn't sad to see January go and they are saying our region is in for another doozy of a storm. :( The snow that fell during SNOWMAGEDDON (the storm that hit us in December) is still here!! Hey, what's another foot or two...that's winter in Ontario for you!!

Anyway, it's challenge time again at Sundays With Crissy and this month it's all about LOVE!! For my card I used Crissy's digi image from Squigglefly called "Baby Elephant". You can also find this image at Whimsy Stamps in deeply etched rubber under the name "Jelly Bean".

I just love the colours pink, black, & grey together!! It's one of my favourite combos!! I tried the "leave-some-of-the-image-outside-the-Nestability-die" technique for the first time on this card--I know, I know, I am probably the last stamper on the planet to do it...anyway, I decided to leave the little guy's foot outside the circle and then did a second image and popped it up with some foam. I kinda went elephant crazy and put one on the inside too...it just seemed to fit. I really had fun with this challenge and I hope all of you do too!!

The inside of my card...

It would be wonderful if YOU were able to join us this month at Sundays With Crissy. Make your own "LOVE" themed card or project and share it with us!! Just go to my link here at the Sundays With Crissy blog, scroll down to the bottom of the post, click on the little blue frog, and follow the instructions.

There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month! You may now use images from any company and still be included in the draw for the blog candy prize! For those who choose to use one of Crissy digi images, their names will be entered twice in our draw. Please respect the rule of no more than three entries per month. Otherwise your entries could be deleted.

I look forward to checking out your entries!! Until then, stay warm & have a blessed day!!

Hugs,

Mr. Beaver Joins the Army

Hello there!! I have been a busy beaver these days trying to get various projects done and have wanted to make a troop card with a particular image for a few weeks now!! My friend Crissy who draws for Squigglefly drew this fabulous image called Proud Canadian.

I have this little thing for masking images or adding stuff that isn't in the original image. I did a couple of little modifications to the Crissy's stamp with my Copic Multiliner and voila--combat boots & dog tags--You're in the Army now Beaver!! I did this awhile back for another Troop card with Cosmobella from Stampin' Bella--click here if you want to see it.

Without further ado...here's my card...

The Front...

(that's me--even looks like my hips :)

The Inside...

Oh!! How I love a man in uniform!!!

On the back...

This card will make it's way very shortly to a Canadian Forces Member at Kandahar Air Field with a "cup o' joe" inside (Tim Horton's giftcard).

Thanks for coming to visit!! Have a great day!!

Blessings,

Sarah

My Second Post Today!!

Here's card No.10 in the race to fill the order for 25 cards for my daughter's school fundraiser. This image is called Lion Hugs and it's new at Squigglefly. It took me a few tries with this image to get it coloured the way I wanted to but finally when I set my markers aside and used my Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits I got a result I was happy with. Haven't mastered lions with the markers yet but I will keep trying.

Here's my card...
