Can You DIG it



Love a good pun and cute images like my dude here Dudley:



Whimsy Stamps Disco Dude Dudley and Revealers 2 dies



My daughter's fiancé is into dinos, so I think he will find this funny. ;)


I know I do!


Oh how I've wanted to snag one of the revealer dies from Whimsy Stamps...YAY!!!


I've seen a sample on their site using it with a disco silhouette and it works for good ole Dudley too!


Totally picked my colors from this lovely challenge:




These challenges apply too:









Thank you for your sweet visit!

Killin' It Boss Lady



Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strip, Papertrey Ink Market Street Paper, Hampton Art Rongron (planner set sentiment, tribe set image, Boss goals sentiment), Copics, Brutus Monroe Raven ink, Pink and Main Sweater Weather patterned paper (retired pack)


I saw the Color Hues Challenge of olive and mustard and picked up the minimal same colors in Papertrey Ink's Market Street.




This city gal from Hampton Art Rongron fits the scale of the scene, so it was perfect for what I had in mind.

My middle daughter has been growing in her esthetician field, and I wanted to honor her bold strides.


If you own this paper, you'll know it's a little bumpy to stamp on, but Brutus Monroe's Raven ink sat so still on it (I used my stamp positioner to give it a few taps).


A light shade of Copics finished it off.


I set behind it a mustard pattern from Pink and Main that's retired (Sweater Weather).


Thank you for your sweet visit!

You Are So Worth Bonsai Tree



Hero Arts Bonsai Fancy Die, My Favorite Things Stamps Anything but Basic, Whimsy Stamps Jungle Frames, Pretty Pink Posh sentiment strips
 




I know that bonsai trees may not be your typical fall tree, but set in fall colors is passable as a handsome presentation.

Check out the mustard and grey backdrop of the following middle panel of this mood board.

Y'all It's Fall Distress Ink Background



The Ton Autumn Foliage, Picket Fence Studios Fancy Autumn Sentiments stamp and die, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Poppy Stamps tree trunk, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles


I spent the free hours I had one day to make multiple distress ink backgrounds (blended within a background die and water spritzed).


Oh what fun!


That investment paid off, because I can pull from that stash to finish a creation.


The autumn leaves are layered stamps from The Ton (I like to stamp multiple colors in one sitting) and sentiment is from a fancy sentiment set from Picket Fence Studios.


A couple of fun challenges going on right now:






Not only the obvious leaves, but I love the misted water on the umbrella and bokeh vibe (the blended background has been spritzed with water for a mottled effect).
 




Thank you for your sweet visit today!

World Card Making Movie Theater Box Christmas



Oh how fun it was to assemble this card for my movie pal daughter. ;)


We've seen so many together, I HAD to make her a card like this.

My Favorite Things Mini Slimline Outside the Box/Movie Munchies/Movie Night/At the Movies/Heads Up, Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments 2 Glimmer Plate, Brutus Monroe Cardstock



Here's the back:


My Favorite Things Concession Stand Basics/Concession Stand/Concession Signage, Picket Fence Studios A Gnome Winter sentiment



If you look at the right hand side of the concession stand...you'll see a fun winter sentiment. ;)


Back to the front...







There are our likenesses, and yes, she likes to sit RIGHT UP there most times. ;)

You know what?

I'm grateful for the company, so I just lean that seat WAY WAY BACK. ;)

I accidently found out that one specific theater has HEATED seats (I thought I had peed myself when I accidently bumped the button and felt warmth rising...ha ha ha)
yikes!!!

It's one of my fave theaters now, and I look for that long red heat button on the movie seat and leannn back. ;) 

Their chicken tenders aren't terrible either.












 Thank you for your sweet visit!
