Hang in there! Card

Happy Tuesday! Today is the start of a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we want to see Exotic/Jungle Wildlife featured on your card. When going to the Zoo, I can watch the monkeys for hours and decided to use a fun digi called Moses the Monkey from SK Digis. I colored Moses with my Copic Markers and cut the image into an oval . The Hang in there! sentiment was printed from the computer. I did go to the store and purchase the Safari patterned paper for this card. The intent was to find a couple of single sheets of paper that would work, however I wasn't that lucky. I ended up buying a 60 piece paper stack called Land of the Sahara by The Paper Studio. It was on clearance, but I will now need to make lots of safari themed cards.

We would love for you to play along with us this week at Cardz 4 Guyz. Click here to see more Exotic/Jungle Wildlife inspiration from the design team. It seems many of us were inspired by monkeys. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Thank goodness it's Saturday! I've enjoyed a lazy morning hanging out in my craft room. My hubby volunteered to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity this morning, so it was nice and quiet. I figured he could help build the house and I would make a card for the new homeowners. This Welcome to the Neighborhood Card was made using this weeks sketch at Sketchy Friday. I used the Bird House with Two Birds digital image from SKdigis and I coloured it with my Copic markers. The patterned papers are from American Crafts and the flower brads are from The Paper Studio. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Pot of Gold St. Patrick's Card

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday. I have a quick post to share this Pot of Gold St. Patrick's Card made for the Sketchy Friday challenge. The image and sentiment is from SKdigis Shop and I used my Copics to colour them. Halfway through making my card I almost scraped it. I don't like the horizontal white stripes in the background! I didn't want to cover up the rainbow stripes, but I wanted to follow the sketch. A creative dilemma! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
