HB Old Fart

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight, Vickie has chosen our challenge and it is "Masculine Birthday".  It just so happens that today is Humor Me Wednesday at Catch the Bug and the Birthday Bash challenge is to make a humorous birthday card.  These 2 challenges go hand in hand!

I went with Gus, because he always makes me laugh!  The image is colored with pencils and I've added beads for embellishing.  I was tempted to add some glitter, but since it's "masculine" I didn't...it was hard though!

Christmas Critters

Good morning!  We have another fun challenge for you at Catch the Bug; today we would like to see "Christmas Critters".  This is a great challenge...there are so many fun critters to choose from at Bugaboo!

I went with Make it Snappy-Reindeer Trio and colored them with pencils; the stars are accented with glitter.  I went with some bright papers and the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Snap Me

Hello!  It's time for our monthly challenge at Flat Friends; this month Em would like you to use a sentiment on your card.  Sounds good, right?!

Hmmm, sentiments....  I rarely use one, so this was fun!  I loved Em's new images for March; do you notice anything different about this cutie?  She has a nose and a mouth!  How fun is that?!  This image made me think of this fun paper that I had in my stash; I used a bunch of the different patterns and went with a collage type card.  (I used a sketch from The Paper Players)I've colored the image, cut it out, and adhered it to a Polaroid-style image, then added a bunch of die cuts, brads, beads, and some fun, sparkly lips (found in my Valentine embellie bin). The sentiment "Snap Me" refers to the Snapchats that my 15 year-old daughter and her friends love to send each other.  I really had fun putting this one together!  I hope you will break out the sentiments and play along with our challenge this month!
