Patio Lanterns!

Happy Thursday!


This week Sharon wants to see our cards based on this inspiration photo:




I decided to take my inspiration from the mason jars in creating this card:

The wood beams also inspired the kraft card base.  And of course you would be sipping an umbrella adorned drink under the patio lanterns!

A special thanks to Jeannie whose stamp set I used in creating this card.

If you want to join the party, please link up your photo inspired card over at Crazy Card Party.

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Red Wagon # 240 - Food For Thought

Happy Sunday!

I'm a bit late posting this week's Little Red Wagon challenge.

Tracy wants to see our creations featuring something yummy.

This was my opportunity to to finally colour up a stamp I've had for quite sometime.

And it did take some doing, I haven't used my copics in awhile so my first attempt was not very good and went in the garbage.

Then I was almost done the second version(adding the grounding in pencil) when I spilled gamasol all over it and almost eveything else on my desk.

Luckily it dried overnight and the image was still usable.

So finally, here it is:

It didn't turn out too badly!

If you can, please join us over at Little Red Wagon with your food inspired creation.

Thanks for stopping by!
