Another Gadgety Card-All Seasons

Good morning, thanks for stopping by today. ;)

I have a card to share that I'm excited about.

Papertrey's Make It Monday #30 Colored Pencils,

Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger: Nice and Neutral 

and

The Vertical Sketch Challenge In Card Ideas Week

motivated me to create this.

The added leaves and corn were colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Wait!

 There's More~

Here are the other seasons individually.

 WINTER

 SPRING

and finally,

SUMMER.

There's a pocket inside to hold it all.

The "flag" was inspired by Teri Anderson's flag tutorial.



I used a lollipop stick colored with a Copic marker.

WHY the All Season Card?

I have an Aunt who is sooooo faithful in sending my family a card for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.  

All these years...I've managed to get a Christmas card out...but that's it.

I think she deserves this, don't you?

I made this especially for her.

 

Thank you again for stopping by today, hope this was inspiring. ;)

POPART Fabulous Birdie

 

  I had all these wonderful pieces left over from my Color Block card...and I tried...for the FIFTH or SIXTH time to work with this wonderful bird I adopted!  Oh, she got a feature in my LESS IS MORE card...

but really, she deserves more coverage.

A girl with this much attitude really ought to have centerstage. ;)

She's got spunk, I'll give her that.  Oh, what I would do for that SPUNK!

Here's to the DIVA:

TO ALL those awesome friends with spunk and PIZAZZ like this ole gal.....

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! ;)

I don't have it...but I AM grateful for the spunky friends God gives me!

  I live a second, vicarious life through their adventures and stories...

....boy oh boy...the stories they share! ;)  LOL.

~From your friend...the safe, scared, (did I mention safe already?), "Stick by the rules...what are the rules?"...kind of gal.  Why you put up with me...I will never know!!!  

CAS-ual Friday 7....your colorblocking is on my mind!!!

MOXIEFAB Trigger Rainbow

Straight Lines Scare Me, But I'll Get Over It

CAS-ual Fridays has Color Blocking this week!  EEEEEEKKKKK!

I love the IDEA of color blocking.

I have been wanting to try it...oh, just for the fun of it.

But as I have tried to work on this for a day in a half.....

....I remembered....

STRAIGHT LINES SCARE ME!!!!

 I am sure there are some deep rooted issues...

......haven't gotten to the bottom of it.

                     

1.  I am borderline OCD, so I don't like to encourage that.

2. There are so many EXPECTATIONS.  

    (Like, keeping it STRAIGHT for example. ;) )

3.  It is just plain HARD. ;(

Enough whiny...sorry...

IT IS FINISHED.

 

OK, I cheated a weeee bit...I HAD TO PUT A LITTLE TILTY, OK????

    It's for my own sanity! ;)  SERIOUSLY!!!!!  

I'm not kidding. ;)

Oh, my favorite part..of course, it is in the Tilty TV...

 

  

How fun is it to frame stuff in a TV?  

I HAD to add a splash of pretty in this calm card.

HAD TO.

Not a biggie, but I stamped the wood grain strips with fun colors too.

The TV and sentiment???

Such a fun set I was blessed to win from PaperCraftsConnection and Tradefish Designs.

Ok, I was scared, but I Got Over It.  I am a better person for it, I am sure. ;)

Thanks for listening to my whining. ;)

Firsthand DP, Rock and Roll

I have only recently bought firsthand DP.  Up until now, I had mostly secondhand paper (pretty and new to me).  However, on my anniversary (I know, not very romantic ;) )...my husband and kids sat in the car while I browsed around a craft store.  Aren't they sweet? ;) 

BTW, we DID go out to eat and he got himself something nice at the sports store-everyone got something!    ;)

 I'm glad I got some brights, because The Play Date Cafe #86

has some FUN, FRESH, FABULOUS colors. ;)

I love these brights!!!  I have three girls...all between 10 and 15.  Fun and fresh is always going on in our house...and they have FABULOUS taste.  If they say my card is "COOL"  or "WOW"...I believe them!  They are in that "cool" age. :)

I purchased some fun paper and added a little surprise ...a pink and orange wood background inked up with the Rock and roll technique from MIM #19.

  

They seemed to like how I used it .....

     They gave me a "Cool!" and "Neat!"

   

 I passed the test! ;)

Thanks for peeking in! ;)
