Doobie Love!

Isn't he sweet?!? L'il C is horse crazy, and takes weekly riding lessons. Her favorite pony is Doobie, and he looks exactly like this little guy. We were fooling around with the Simply Scored tool and some Poppy Parade CS the other day, and voila! "Doobie" has a teeny tiny 1st place ribbon. LOVE! (to give an idea of the size of the "ribbon" the rosette is just under 2 cm diameter. Thanks goodness for sticky strip which is holding it all together! ;o)

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Simply Scored, Two Step Owl Extra Large Punch, Poppy Parade CS and Stampin' Write, Whisper White CS, Sticky Strip

Many Mustaches Card

I have to admit it....I don't "get" the mustache craze! :o) I think it's hysterical that there are SO MANY mustache things out there now, and have a friend that agrees. We send each other unusual mustache pictures when we come across them, and the other day she sent me a snow globe with a mustache in it. As a thanks you, I had to make her this card! And since a mustache doesn't really "belong" in a snow globe, I had to stamp the mustaches in color that don't really belong either! Enjoy!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Concord Crush CS and Stampin' Write, Peach Parfait, Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Writes, Whisper White CS, Simply Scored Board, Pear Pizzazz DSP.

JOY Banner

Eeeks! I loooove this! It's been so fun to create and decorate with! Have to thank my friend Val for lending me her (retired) 3D 5 Point Star Die for the Big Shot so I could play with it and make it! (hint...hopefully in the next week or 2 I'll have another fun project to share with you showing this retired die off...depending on if I can get over my CHICKEN FACTOR or not... :o) Anyway....I have this hanging in my front hall, sorry about the weird angle of the photo, but it's hard to shoot towards a mirror without a flash or other weird background image showing up! The second photo shows a close up of the embossing, but I'm not sure if I like it embossed or not. The un-embossed version gives a much cleaner seam, but the embossed version gives a little extra texture. Anyway you make it, I must say, I do love it!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
3D 5 Point Star Die (retired), Cherry Cobbler CS, and textured CS, Old Olive Textured CS, Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Simply Scored, Timeless Type Medium Sizzlits Die, 1 1/4" Circle Medium Die, Sticky Strip, 2 Way Glue Pen, fishing line from my crafty stash.
