Penguin Pals

Hi there y'all and Happy Wednesday.  It seems like this day rolls around faster and faster each week.  I have had a busy week and with the weather changing so rapidly I have also been sore which in turn makes me kinda grumpy :(  I have found a little time to squeeze in a card for my post at One Crazy Stamper but must admit it was more last minute than I would have liked.

My card today features a stamp once again from the High Hopes line.  These little cuties are adorable and there are also other animals available as well.

Paper Playtime Challenge #4 ~ Use A Sentiment

Hello all!  Welcome to another Monday challenge post for Paper Playtime.  For the next two weeks our challenge is to use a sentiment on your project.  That's pretty easy, correct?  Most of the time we add a sentiment to our cards or projects anyhow :)  The prize you could win by linking up is a set of stamps from Close to My Heart representative, Lucy Kelleher. 

Because I usually have a sentiment on my cards somewhere I challenged myself to make a card with the sentiment as the focus instead of just a part of the card.  This is what I came up with:

Inside:

RECIPE:

Card stock ~ Recollections

Patterned Paper ~ My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline

All Dolled Up 6" x 6"

Sentiment ~ Whimsy Stamps Ticket Notes

Dies ~ Whimsy Stamps Ticket Die

~Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork

Spellbinders ~ Large Ovals Classic

~ Lacey Ovals

Copic Markers ~ BG10, RV11

Punch ~ Martha Stewart

Flowers, Pearls ~ Michaels $1.50 bin

Ribbon ~ Offray White

I am glad you could come by again today.  There have been lots of posts to keep up with in the last few weeks and I am enjoying all my crafting. Join us at Paper Playtime and show us how you use a sentiment. Have a GREAT week.  See y'all soon.

Wellies On A Wobble

Good Saturday morning.  It is once again time for my DT post at Action Wobbles.  I am continually amazed at all of the ideas my design team sisters come up with for these little springs.  They also continue to inspire me.  Please remember to come by the Action wobble blog and their personal blogs and leave them some love.

Is anyone intrigued by the title of my post?  Do I have any British fans who know what I mean?  Well, first let me show you my card and see if you can guess.

the wobbles in action:

the inside:

RECIPE:

Card stock ~ Recollections, Bazzill

Patterned Paper ~ Docrafts Wellington 6" x 6"

Cricut ~ Paisley cartridge

Sentiments ~ CARDZ TV Think Spring

Ink ~ Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink

Punch ~ EK Success

Glossy Accents

Action Wobbles ~TSQ Royal Castle Shoppe

Buttons, Embriodery Floss ~ "Use it Up" Inventory

So, were you able to guess I was referring to wellingtons, also known as galoshes or rain boots?  When I think of Spring, one of the things that comes to mind is rain.  The patterned paper covered with rain boots was the inspiration for this card.  I think we still have some Winter to get through yet but Spring won't be far behind.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I hope you have a great weekend.
