Well Butter my Butt...lol...

Good morning blogland....how's your day going for you? Mine, busy...need to do a bunch of errands, hit the library up today and then back here to do my daily chores....but before I take off for the day, I wanted to share a card I had made for Kenny K's Challenge this week.......ENJOY!!!!!

Now how cute is this...lol...I thought this image was really cool to make another unusual Valentine's Day card....what do ya think? A little out in left field...lol.....

I used Cheyenne from Kenny K...the cactus from Graphics Factory....and the sentiment from Rodeo Randy Set from Boni Bleaux Designs....MS border punch...distress inks and I also used Krylon Antiquing paper spray....that's where the coffee looking paper comes from....I embossed it using Sizzix embossing folders and then just deeply sprayed the paper.....I just love how deep and rich looking it turned out..... here's the inside....isn't this little cupid (graphics factory) just the cutest....to me it looks like he's crashing through the sky to deliver a Valentine's....lol....

this is the left side...I used a rubber stamp from Sweet Pea...

this is the right side...I used one of those huge brads to add the greeting....

and here's what the spray looks like if you are interested...I purchased this from Mike's over in the spray paint section....there are other types of paper spray there as well...you ought to stop and check them out....play some...you might be surprised.....

Well that's all I have for today.....I hope you have a sunny day...hugs from Charm City....

the house that LOVE built-- paperbag

Wooty Woot!! It's Saturday...it is abit dreary outside though, but at least I'm not out in it today....thank goodness...our weather here has been tremendous...as I'm sure it has been where you live....so what better way than to stay inside and play......I made this card for the challenges over at Kenny K's (my favorite things) and Stamp Something (use a digi)......ENJOY!!!!!

I just loved this image from Kenny K (Carmen Electrafying) ...it reminds me of DH's secret fantasy of me coming home with a stamp like this....well he is just going to keep it a fantasy cuz it ain't happening....lol...not that I'm against these stamps, but my body is...things have already gone south, so this would not be a good addition...get my drift...lol....I paired it up with a Magnolia Haunted House...I added MS punches (favorite things...lol)...and on the gate punch I embossed using Distress embossing powder....I just love this stuff..it gives it a sandpaper feeling....paper from Making Memories.....colored everything in using distress inks.... and here (left inside of card) I used Dr. Strange Glove (use a digi) from BoniBleaux Designs.....lol...isn't he just dawling....I remember a cartoon with the Flintstones that there was a DR. Love or something like that...they were held captive in a castle with these flying dino's...anyone else remember that segment of cartoons they had on....or am I the only weird one.....I so can't remember where I got this saying from...sorry....

and here's the other side.....here I used rubber stamps from Stamp Scapes (fir row--tree trunk trio--crooked path)....and Inkadinkado (rolling hills--camper).....I masked the images as I stamped them to make a scene.....my thinking was that the main house was the waiting room and then when you went in to see Dr. Love you had to go down this pathway to the "exam room"....lol.....you can see the tag that pulls out from the right side pocket....

here's the tag...I just used another piece of embossed gate punch and made that into a handle to pull the tag out....added a brad that says love that was embossed to.....

the complete inside of the card.....

here's the tag...you can see the brad better with the embossing.....

Well that's all I have for this dreary Saturday......I hope your day is filled with sunshine and alot of smiles.....hugs from Charm City......

Paper Take Weekly Animal Magic

The challenge over at PTW is to use an animal on your card. Either in the paper or the image or the sentiment. We're being sponsored by the fabulous Wendy from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. Please stop by and check out the images she offers....they are too cute......ENJOY!!!!!

I used an image from Kenny K. Now isn't he or she just the cutest doggie ever....I use to have one and he was as cute -as devious-....lol.... this was actually a free image from his site, but it is no longer available....he does however have a new one up that expires the end of the month....

*****************************

I used distress inks, Prima flowers, MS crooked fence and branch punches, Inkadinkado--admit one and party glass clear stamps, StampScapes--pebbles and crooked limb, stickles and liquid glass (I added this to the top of the glass image to make it feel like glass), and a flip flop charm for the bottom of the glass....

this is the inside....now it's very rare that I finish a card inside and out, so I am very proud of myself....I was thinking I could give this to DH for a special kind of dinner...just the two of us....it's abit cold here for pool side, but we can do patio....I can also grill hot dogs...lol...I used a Prima swirly clear stamp along with Inkadinkado ticket stamp....

just a closer view of my sweet little doggie....sorry about the screw up on the coloring...to much coffee......Make sure you stop back at PTW and play along with us and check out what the rest of the girls did with this challenge.....Have a beautiful day!!!!! Hugs from a sunny Charm City....
