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:

Have a great week!

Celebrate Summer with Riley and Company!

Hello!  Is everyone enjoying their summer?  My kids have been making it a busy one with their various sport teams.  I am hoping to get off of my crutches soon and take the kids to the lake for some swimming!

In the mean time we are celebrating summer on the Riley and Company blog.  Sandye is our host this time around and she has challenged us with a summer theme.  Check out her inspiration on her blog!

I am letting my "hope" for fun show by making my card with Riley Waterslide, that you can find HERE in the Riley and Company Store.  I colored it with copics and used crystal effects to make the water gleam.  The card is made using a technique called the Bargello technique.  I used THIS tutorial from Splitcoaststampers.  

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

Craftin' Desert Divas - summer!

Eureka Stamps - vacation

Markerpop - anything goes

The Crazy Challenge - my summer vacation

Make sure you check out the rest of the design teams' creations!  Have a great week!
