Hello Autumn

A skating we will go

     Doesn't she look like she's having fun.  My friend Nancy asked me the other day if I had ever been ice skating.  Since I live in the deep south, that's a pretty legitimate question and most of you would assume the answer is no.  However, the answer is yes.  My first time was in New Orleans on a field trip in school (Geez that was a long time ago!).  One of the malls had a small indoor rink.
    Now this might sound crazy to those of you up north who view hockey as the big local sport, but we actually have a hockey team on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  The Mississippi Surge is part of the Southern Professional Hockey League and they are pretty popular with the local sports fans.  Now I said all that to say that I have managed to find myself on the ice a couple of times on their rink when they have free skate time.  It's been a while, but I can honestly say that I have donned ice skates and most likely it was 70 or 80 degrees outside.  LOL

     I have been slowly adding to my collection of Tiddly Ink Wryn's.  I just love this character.  This is Skater Wryn and I have given her some cool winter colors to practice her moves in.  The felt tree was cut with a Sizzix die and then trimmed down to fit the card better.  I just picked these cute Studio Calico birdies up at Hobby Lobby recently and thought they'd be really sweet on the tree.  I thought the tree needed a little something else and I happened to have cut a Memory Box die out that I didn't use.  When I looked at the little snowflakes I thought they'd be great decorations so I snipped them off and added them to the tree.

Winter Wryn

     Have you been enjoying some crafty time during the holidays?  I'm almost completely done with my DT work for this year so I've had a little play time just to create whatever I wanted to.  I have three posts today for JFF cards.
     Not too long ago I purchased some Tiddly Inks images.  I'm very partial to Wryns and I printed this one out to play with.  Even got a little fancy by using an edge and corner punch to add a little shape to the card base.  I used an old Sketchy Colors sketch for the layout.

     Here's her close up.

skin--E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, R30

I ♥ My Teacher

     First off let me thank you all for your prayers and questions about my dad's condition.  He is still continuing to improve.  He's never had heart problems so that came totally out of left field.  They have that stabilized and now we are just working on getting his knee surgery recovery back on track.   He should probably come home tomorrow.  I really appreciate all your support.  You guys are the best!

     I have ALWAYS loved the Wryn images from Tiddly Inks, but never bought any because I was so intimidated by the hair.  Hair is my Achilles heel when it comes to coloring.  Christy had a great sale not long ago and enabler friends (you know who you are) who kept posting all these cuties pushed me over the scary cliff to give them a try.

     The current challenge at Tiddly Inks is a Back to School theme.  I've used Wryn Grow a Little Love for my card.  She's bringing her blooms to her fave teacher as the chalkboard says.  The idea to create a chalkboard for the background popped into my head out of nowhere and I'm so happy with how it turned out.  I used a couple of There She Goes Clear Stamp sets to stamp some fun chalkboard style doodles onto black paper.  I stamped some kraft with a woodgrain stamp to create the frame.  I used a MFT die to create a piece of paper and used Prisma color pencils in blue and red to create the lines.  The pencil is also from one of the TSG sets.

     Here's a close up of Wryn.

Copics Used:

skin E000, E00, E11, E13, R20

Hello Ghoulfriend!

     Alright guys,  I have to be honest here.  I am NOT a Halloween person.  We don't do Halloween but it's that time of year so pretty much every designer and DT is going to be doing spooky scary Halloweeny stuff.  In this case the Catered Crop has a "Halloween Screams" challenge going on, but Linda has also opened the challenge to fall themed projects for those who don't do Halloween.  Our sponsor is Tiddly Inks.  LOVE their images.  We were lucky enough to be able to use a TI image on our projects this go around and I chose Gossmere.  She's not really scary unless you notice she has a skull on the end of her wand.  LOL  I have zilcho Halloween papers in my stash but was lucky enough to find these wonderful freebie digital papers over at Bearly Mine Designs.  Donna has several freebies you can nab over there for all sorts of themes.  I dyed some more cheesecloth with alcohol ink for this project.  One of my readers told me they found pre-dyed stuff at the Dollar Tree.  Cool!
     I spent about three hours on the computer this morning trying to catch up with all of you.  LOL  I'm finally up to speed and hope to be able to stay on top of things.  Got a list a mile long of DT projects I have to get done so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I won't get behind again.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Bearly Mine--Halloween
Clear It Out--anything goes using orange, purple, or black)
Party Time Tuesdays--halloween
Ribbon Carousel--Halloween spirit
Hooked on Craft--Halloween
Make It Monday--anything goes

     Hope you're having a fantastic day!
