pedal, pedal!

     I haven't figured out how to get my daughters dogs to ride a bike yet, but this guy is a pro.  Art Impressions Birthday Dog Wheelie set comes with everything you need to make this pup pedal away.

     I used my Prismacolor pencils to color him up.

     Remember, Art Impressions allows their retailers to sell their products first, so if you can't find what you're looking for on their website, check out your favorite online retailer like Simon Says Stamp.
     Have a blessed weekend!

Supplies:
Paper--Crate Paper "On Trend", Recollections

Party goat

     Things have finally slowed down enough that I have been able to make a few cards.  This one was made quite a while ago but I'm posting now to coordinate with the release of this set in the Art Impressions store.  AI usually allows their retail sellers to sell the sets first and then they put them in their own store for sale.  Several farm sets are now available at AI like those crazy chickens and this fun Old Goat set.

He seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit.

Copics Used:

goat W1, W3, W5, N3, N5, N7, E00, E01

ribbon R22, R24, R27

     Uggghh!  Tropical Storm Cindy has dropped so much rain on us it's ridiculous.  Lots of flooding and...oh wait!  I think I see a glimmer of sunshine breaking through.  LOL  We've had a huge amount of rainfall in the recent months and the ground is so saturated.  We'll be "swimming" out tonight to celebrate my dad's birthday.
     Hope you're high, dry, and safe.  Be blessed!

Guesting for My Sheri Crafts

     Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card with you that I created as a Guest Designer for the My Sheri Crafts Challenge.  I was lucky enough to be asked to be their Guest Designer for challenge #133 which is "April Showers Bring May Flowers".  Thanks for having me Sheri!

     Sheri and the team want to see at least three flowers on your card.  Please excuse my glaring ones.  My blooms were sprayed with Glimmer Mist and all that sparkle seems to have grabbed the light and bounced it.  I created them using a Nestabilities Dahlia die set, the spray, and a bit of water.  They're the icing on this sweet birthday card made with Art Impressions Stamps "Cupcake BFF's" stamp set.

     I don't think there could possibly be a crafter out there without flowers in their stash so grab at least three and come join in the fun at My Sheri Crafts!

Supplies:
Paper--Crate Paper "Party Day", Bazzill, Recollections, Copic XPress-it Blending card
Stamps--Art Impressions "Cupcake BFF's"
Ink--Memento Tuxedo Black, Candlelight Glimmer Mist
