Thanks

I wish I could take credit for the idea behind my card but Maile Belles posted a similar card on Ellen Hutson's, the Class Room, that I loved. Although similar, the major difference is that I used scraps of Pop Tone #65 cardstock from the PaperTempress that I've been hoarding! From left to right the colors are: banana split, bubblegum, grape jelly, spearmint, grapesicle, razzle berry, and jellybean green! If your sweet tooth is not screaming for candy after reading this post, you are one very strong person!

Roger Redskin

Goodness, it's hard to believe that we are almost out of days in May but since it's the last Wednesday of the month, its time for a Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop and yours truly is leading the pack with Roger Redskin! Since I'm not a fan of the Redskins, I'm cannot say for certain but I think Roger might be their only fan!

Your next stop is to see what Sharon has created and make sure as you hop along you leave each of Dude Time Doodles' Dudettes and the Dude a comment because once again there's a mystery host that will be giving one lucky commenter a free digi from Dude Time Doodles!

Sleepy Beauty

Sleepy Beauty is by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary fame. You can easily recognize a Saturated Canary image by their intoxicating eyes and gorgeous locks of hair that most of us dream of having.

Whimsy Sunflower

Happy Memorial Day! I think someone has upset Mother Nature since she's turned up the heat to July temperatures and it's still May!

The new Squigglefly challenge that starts today is being hosted by Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals but since I am participating in Squigglefly's One-A-Day-In-May, I thought I better start using the images and not just admire them! After watching Beate's technique Smackin' Acetate, I thought I would give it a try using Sandy Sommerfeld's sweet image, Whimsy Sunflower, to create this one layer card. Fun, fun technique! Watch the video, give it a try and then enter your creation into this week's Squigglefly challenge!

Sam's Rainy Day

When I saw Sam's Rainy Day by Sassy Cheryl's Digis, I absolutely could not resist this super cute image! I've never met a child or a golden retriever that could resist a walk through a puddle! Come to think of it, I still enjoy it too!

Benny Bumblethorpe

What a mess! Just Inklined's mischievous Daisy Bumblethorpe and her incorrigible brother, Benny Bumblethorpe, came for a visit and while my back was turned, Daisy took off to the neighbor's garden to help herself to some new flowers! If that's not bad enough, Benny got into the paint and decorated everything in sight green! Upon questioning, he very proudly stated that he was doing his part to save the planet by going green! Oy vey!!

Louis, Butterflies and Buttercups

I don't know how you feel about it but I hate when a dragon dashes through my garden chasing butterflies and smashes down my pretty flowers with its big feet! But each spring, without fail, that is exactly what happens! Apparently I am not the only person who has witnessed such goings on otherwise, Louis, Butterflies and Buttercups, from the Digi Doodle Shop would not have been created! Louis and his antics is my inspiration to get you to join Team Ruth in the Digi Doodle Shop Challenge to "get spotty"! Join the fun, and you might be the winner of a $10.00 gift certificate to the Digi Doodle Shop!

Happy Birthday

Is it possible to have enough birthday cards? I think not! The sweet image is from Mayzy Art that was a freebie members of The Outlawz stamping community received! Gotta love freebies, thanks Mayzy Art!

Dog Love

When I saw Dog Love by KiniArt at Can You Digi It, I absolutely couldn't resist this adorable pooch! When I combined her with Blue Star Jean digi paper, offered as a freebie during the challenge, I had a perfect union for the new Can You Digi Challenge - Love of Country! So come on now, play along, get started on your Independence Day cards and you might win a $10 gift certificate to Can You Digi It! Need more inspiration, visit the other "IT" gals!

Sherman

It's Monday, time for a new Squigglefly challenge and it's being hosted by Holley's Hobbyists.  The challenge is to Use a Square Peg in a Round Hole or in other words, make a card that uses some thing OUTSIDE the usual, perhaps a different card shape, weird buttons or an embellishment that you would never think goes on a card and inspire us all!

I used Sherman by Squigglefly's artist, Jane Beljo, and made him my entire card, shape and all! And thinking outside of the box, I used pink distress ink because if you had a pink lamb that wore a pink ribbon on the top of his head, would you think his name would be Sherman?

Happy Birthday

Sometimes the best thing you can do is play and I certainly enjoyed myself playing with distress inks, vellum music paper and several different stamps. I liked playing so much, I'm going to do it again soon!

Dick Van Duck Graduate

Dick Van Duck Graduate from Just Inklined is not your average graduating student! No indeed! Since Dick was a wee little duckling, he aspired to be a great scholar and could always be found in the library "quacking" the books! But the time has come for him to go out into the world and leave the academic lifestyle behind. All of Dick's professors are thankful to see him receive his diploma inasmuch as his presence in class was disruptive because he was constantly "quacking" jokes! I know, groan!!

Pop Tones Banana Split

I have been participating in an interactive card design class with Julie Ebersole and friends. For my first attempt I turned to my stash of PopTones cardstock from the PaperTemptress and chose the scrumptious- good enough to eat - Banana Split cardstock, embossed it with black and used Cryogen White cardstock for the sentiment to create my first swing card!

Postman Pearce

I must confess, I look forward to seeing the mailman each day because he is one cutie-pie and I do mean CUTE! He looks nothing like Postman Pearce from Bonibleaux Designs who is stepping livelier because it stopped raining and he's able to deliver birthday wishes without getting soaking wet! Postman Pearce also serves to introduce you to the new Dude Time Doodles challenge that starts today to make a birthday card! Check out the Dude and the Dudettes' birthday wishes and visit Dude Time Doodles for all the details!
