Classroom Supplies VSN Challenge

This challenge is to use some kind of classroom supply on your card. I found a couple cute paperclips to use.

I love how this birthday card came out! The image is from Bugaboo. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and blended them with baby oil. I used The Paper Studios All Seasons II for the background. The 'It's your day!' is from Stampendous Party Invite set. The 'Make a Wish' is from TPC Studio Brush Stroke Greetings set.

Whoo hoo! Thats number 4!

Let's Get Physical VSN Challenge

For this challenge you just needed to have some form of exercise or activity on your project.  I know a little boy who plays soccer so I made this card with him in mind either for a birthday or a nice way to go card. This soccer playing monkey is from Doodle Dragon Studios and is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Two down today...let's how far I can get!!

"Girl Power" Challenge

I created this cute and girly card for the "Girl Power" challenge over Dustin Pike's blog! I'm loving the purple and green combination lately. My image is of course from Doodle Dragon Studios! I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Finger Painting Cards!

Yesterday morning I came up with an idea to get my son to sit still so I could do a post. I cleaned up after breakfast, pulled out his finger paints and paper, covered the island stool with an old towel, got the laptop set up, got a fresh cup of coffee and announced "Your going to finger paint!!" he looked at me and his eyes were getting big and he was starting to smile....then he shook his head and said "No, no thanks" well as polite as he was I wasn't giving up without a fight! I gave him something he couldn't resist...his own paintbrush!

There was only one problem with my plan...he's a fast painter! By the time I took 4 pictures and sat down he was done already!!

The best part of this is that its directly linked to a card I made recently during VSN. The challenge was for kids (or kids at heart) to make a card using a food item or use a food as inspiration. But he's a little to young and active to directly help so I made a card for his Great Great Grandma's 90th birthday using one of his finger paintings as a background. I LOVE this idea!! It turned out great and was loved by everyone who saw it. The image was a freebie from Dustin Pike and I colored it with Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil. 

And this is the card I made for her from Me and Tony:

All images are from Doodle Dragon Studios. Colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil. The frogs on the front were all cut out and popped on each level...the legs, the belly and then the hands.  

Fishing Birthday

This was a last minute card. Tony called from work around 4 asking me to make a card for a friend that needed to be ready by the morning. That seems like a lot of time but not with a toddler running around! I really only had about 3 hours. With that said I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

The images are from Doodle Dragon Studios and the Woodgrain paper is from DCWV All About Boys paper stack.

Tin Man, Lion and Flying Monkey

I made this card for my Aunts birthday tomorrow. She loves funny cards so I hope she likes it. The Tin Man and Lion digi are from Bugaboo Stamps and the flying monkey is from Doodle Dragon Studios. I made the background myself it was really easy and I think it came out super cute.

Im entering it in the following challenges:
