Animal Antics at the Ink Spot!

Welcome to a new week!  For me this is the first day of the week because my job allowed me the holiday off.  It was a much needed day to play catch up around the house.  I finally got the rest of the holiday decorations packed away and the floors swept and the groceries shopped for.  Phew!

To start off my week I was lucky to have Kelly challenge The Ink Spot design team to make a card with an animal on it.  Extra points if it is funny!  How did I do?

For this card I have used Ice Fishing Riley and Percy from the Riley and Company Stamp Line.  I have also put that together with a sentiment called I Swear It Will Be Funny from the Funny Bones Stamp Line.  The background was made from my paper scraps using a technique called Bargello that I found on Splitcoaststampers.  I really like how it comes out, and it is super easy to make.  

 Splurge on your time and make sure you head on over to the rest of the DT blogs, and check out their projects:

I'm hostessing an outdoor winter activity challenge!

Good morning!  My card today reaches you during sub-zero temperatures....brrr, and totally appropriate!  Today I am hosting a challenge over at the Riley and Company blog.  The subject of your card or project should be "outdoor winter activity."  Mine feels icy and cold...just like my fingers.

The stamp I have used is called Ice Fishing Riley and Percy and can be found HERE at the Riley and Company store. I colored the image with my copics and cut it out with scissors on the bottom and the paper cutter on the rest.  I really like to do this as I think it adds a little visual appeal. Once the image was adhered to the card I used crystal effects on the ice fishing hole to make it glossy.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Hiding in my Craft Room - color it
Chocolate, Coffee, Cards - no circles

Please, also take some time to bop on over to the rest of the design teams' blogs and check out their creations.
