2 Cool SK8R Dude

Ok peeps! I finally mustered up the courage and bought a Kenny K. Downloads digi image....then I actually colored it well enough to put it on a card, hooray for me!! LOL I picked up RYDER COLE for my nephew Anthony, an avid skateboarder. I hope he likes it cus' it was a painstaking process for me to color this cutie without making a huge mistake--I was terrified that I was going to have to start all over at least 2 times, but I colored him in 1 try and it was sa-weet!

 I studied the pre-colored image of Ryder Cole then tried to color him like that. I think I'll branch out and use my own imagination as I become more confident hehe

 My altered tag includes the sentiment and metel tool button

I'm going to enter my card for these challenges:

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz challenge- ONE FOR THE BOYS

Craft Your Days Away challenge #41- JUST FOR MEN/BOYS + BUTTON

Paper Playtime challenge #70- FOR THE GUYS AND INCLUDE A SENTIMENT

Ok, that's all folks! Thanks for stopping by on this fine Friday and I wish you all a happy, healthy and fun-filled weekend!

Monkeyin' Around

Hello friends, today I made my card for the Love's To Crop challenge and Amy's challenge this week is a color challenge ORANGE-PINK-OTHER COLOR. I also joined in my first challenge with Paper Playtime, challenge #68 "Say It With Sentiments Challenge using Pet Images! Now, my beagle Maddie is my fur baby but she can definitely be my little monkey sometimes too! And since the ladies over at Cooking With Cricut looked like they were having so much fun monkeyin around, I chose a monkey for my "pet" hehe! 

I went bananas when I found this super fun sentiment from my Unity Stamps collection!

And I just had to make my monkey wiggle it just a little bit, with another wiggle wire attachment--now this lil guy can shake his "monkey" maker! lol I'm proud to say that my flowers are all veryyy old SU! die cuts and paper primas and some equally ancient epoxy stickers, trimmed them to make tiny flowers in the centers, and made the white flower from a 1" circle scrap. I love using old supplies cus I don't have to be so careful and scared to use them--I'm stingy with my "good stuff" sometimes and crafting seems so much more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about a thing, just free yourself and CREATE! Love it. 

Thanks so much for hangin out! Happy Mardi Gras!!! Homemade Jambalaya for dinner tonight yummm!
