hoot!

Yippie! I recieved Honorable Mention for this Hero Arts Challenge!


Hi!
I think whether you have children or not you have to know how to multi task to keep up with life these days!! So I'm using this sketch for the Caardvarks challenge....

......and these yummy colours for the Hero Arts challenge which is fall colours. I just love the traditional Halloween colours so I made this card......isn't this owl too cute! I coloured her in with my Derwent pencils and used black stickles on her hat and cape.

If I were to put on a cape and hat in the morning this is pretty much what I would look like before my morning coffee!! ;)

Have a great day!

TFL!

materials: string, my fimo buttons, Versamark Dazzle, Adirondack ink Pitch Black, Hero Arts stamps CL329, cuttlebug swissdots folder, nestabilities circle die, stickles (black), glitter pen, ribbon, cardstock, Derwent pencils

preschool, first grade, a birthday.....

forgot about this........like I mentioned Mia started preschool this week and I gave her teachers (she has two) some yummy Bajadera chocolates! This was so last minute...I didn't even measure out my papers just slapped everything together in minutes.

yeah.......lots going on here!!! Marko started first grade and I think I'm having a harder time with it!!!;) He's also started his taekwondo again. His birthday is on the 19th and it's a Spider Man event! I will be making some treats for his class. Mia is back at preschool leaving their little brother Jakov free to snoop through their toys and stuff!!
So basically we're all trying to get some kind of schedule going...not much time left for cards....I'm neck deep in making buttons.....for Kate's Card drive, etc.

Before I go I wanted to share something I saw on Michelle's blog (LOVE this woman!!).....Flea Market Style Magazine! I'm loving it!!

Anyways hopefully I'll have some thing crafty to post soon!
bye! xo

manly

Hey!
I just made it on time for this weeks Hero Arts challenge which is to make a MANLY card!! AND this card is perfect for the CardPatterns challenge too!! Bonus!

so here it is......

My husband is the inspiration behind this card. He likes things very simple, plain and no PINK!! lol. Putting on a shirt and tie is torture (did you all know that Croatians (Hrvati) invented the tie (kravati)!?........he LOVES soccer, meat, the outdoors and he's the best tata (daddy) in the world!!

I stamped the log to make my own pattern paper and framed my sentiment with Making Memories Tag maker. The button is my handmade button. I pretty much use only my buttons and not because I think they're the best but I don't want to use my other buttons (I have PTI, Basic Grey and Making Memories buttons) because they are too pretty to use so that's why I started making my own!!! lol

That it for now........have a great Sunday.....hopefully a nice relaxing one!!
