Mo's Pumpkin Patch

When I saw this image from Mo's Digital Pencil, I knew I had to have it. It reminds me of last year when I went to the pumpkin patch with Cole. He tried so hard to carry the pumpkins! He may be able to pull it off this year...He is a big boy of 2 now!

I colored this image to match the pictures I took last year...gotta match the outfits ya know!

For those that are fans of Mo's digital images...there will be a new line of actual stamps coming soon...so keep your eyes peeled!

This is another Michelle B at Just Painting Around inspired "scene" card.


Card Details:

-----------------------------
Stamps: Mo's digital image, Studio G sentiment

Cardstock: Black (SU!) and Debbie Mumm DP

Ink: Versafine for the sentiment

3 Clovers Thursday Challenge #25-Summer Bounty

The challenge this week on 3 Clovers Thursday Challenge is Super Summery! Make a great "summery" card!

I thought to myself...nothing reminds me more of summer than all the bountiful fruits and veggies growing in everyone's garden!

I used to can all sorts of fruits, veggies, beans etc when my children lived at home. I don't can anymore...except a batch of apricot pineapple jam here and there. I miss that yummy bounty!

On to the details of this super summery card:

I changed the layout of this darn card so many times and really thought about just throwing it out, but in the end...I think I like it...I really like it :-)

This is meant to look like an old time kitchen shelf full of freshly canned goodies. This kitchen wall has the old time flowery wallpaper, ruby red wainscoating and white beadboard on the bottom(made with my scorepal). I think you can see better detail by clicking on the card to enlarge.

I am glad I didn't give up on this card...I think it will be a favorite!

I hope you can join Kerry and all of her team in making this a fun challenge!

Happy Father's Day Dad! On the Farm!!!

I made this card for my Dad. I used a retired Stampin Up set name On the Farm.
My Dad lives out of town and has nicknamed his homestead "The Ranch". I thought this best fits his lifestyle!

I again fashioned this scene after Michelle B's technique of piecing a scene. I just love this effect!

Each element is stamped, colored and mounted individually. The only thing that bugs me about this set is that is not proportional...look how big that hog is compared to the farmer...LOL I would hate to get in that piggy's pathway!

I punched the ground and fence and added this on to the sponged sky. I then used my nesties to cut out my squares (which really simplifies this process). I mounted the two squares on some red and added them back into the "scene".

I used the SU! retired cloud template for sponging the sky.

3 Clovers Thursday Challenge- Snoopy Paper Piecing

This week's challenge at 3 Clovers Thursday Challenge is Paper Piecing. I had such a grand time with this challenge. I made this card, ripped it apart, and then started over again. Another one of those cards that bits and pieces came to me in my sleep. I wasted some darn good cardstock to get the effect I wanted.

I started using a sketch challenge, didn't like that, then didn't like the DP I used so ripped it apart again.

This card was inspired by the work of Michelle B at JustPaintingAround. She creates some of the best scene cards I have ever "scene". You really should go browse her blog...tons of fun cards to see there! She does have some tutorials mixed in her posts on how she creates her scenes (sure wish I would have followed her suggestions as I am sure it would have been much easier that how this little card was born LOL!)

The umbrella and sun as well as the water are all pieced with Stampin Up cardstock or DP. The image was colored with copics.

Now, if only I was sitting on a beach somewhere with Snoopy!
