"Make a moo or two" challenge

This is my first challenge for "Make a moo or two."
This week's theme is dots and stripes. Here's my little piece.
These are really FUN to make! Thanks for the challenge!

Wednesday Stamper Challenge

This week's Wednesday Stamper challenge is Be Square! So here's my 5 1/2" square card,
done with stamps from Delta and Quietfire Design, Ancient Page Coal Black Ink,
and a cuttlebug embossed background, thermal-embossed in places
with Top Boss Gold EP.

This week's Ismaki sketch challenge is "in the round," and the option is to use
no patterned paper. Great challenge, Kianel, thanks! The Madonna and Child stamp is by Toybox,

My four year old grandson picked WEBBY from the names in the draw for this little piece .
Webby, please e-mail me with your friend's full name and postal address so I can send it to her,
and let me know what you would like me to write in "your" card to her, which is posted here.
Also, please send me YOUR full name and postal address so I can send along the
beautiful calligraphied rubber stamp (from Quietfire Design) which I used
in the piece your friend will receive. Thank you for liking it!

Happy Birthday Mitra!

Today is Mitra's birthday! You'd know her as the creative genius behind Impression Obsession rubber stamps.
I know her as a talented stamper, my design team boss, and an enterpreneur extraordinaire. In honour of her birthday, Impression Obsession design team decided to do a birthday challenge this month.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mitra! Hope your day is as special as YOU are!

Here's the card I made for Mitra...with Impression Obsession stamps, of course.

The beautiful heart, designed by one of Mitra's tremendously talented stamp artists
(Leigh Hannan) was stamped and embossed on red velvet paper.
The sentiment was stamped and gold embossed.

Please join us in wishing Mitra a very happy birthday!

Also, don't forget to check these wonderful Impression Obsession
designers' blogs to see their fabulous birthday cards to Mitra!

Art

This week's Wednesday Stamper theme is to use the word ART somewhere in your creation. This is mine. The image is from Crafty Individuals,in the UK, and the sentiment stamp is from Quietfire Design here in Canada, done from Suzanne Cannon's lovely hand calligraphy. Thanks for visiting today!

Today's Created by Hand challenge is to stamp on fabric. For this piece, I used an old linen hankie of my mother's (I'm lucky to have inherited a nice little stack of these),and stamps from Quietfire Design. The flourishes are stamped with Clearsnap Metallic Extra Lilac ink, and the sentiment is stamped with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink. The piece is 6 1/2" by 6 1/2," and has a little "hanger" on the reverse.

Although I really enjoy creating things like this, I have no more space on my happy room walls, so if you're interested, please leave me a comment telling me about the person with whom you share a closely woven relationship. On Sunday, I'll do a random draw, and the person whose comment is drawn can then pay it forward to that person in their relationship. I'll mail it for you, and will also include a card for the recipient, in which your comment will be incorporated. Finally, I'll also send YOU this African Proverb stamp "I am the connections that I weave." This was done from the beautiful hand calligraphy of the very talented Suzanne Cannon of Quietfire Design, and is one of my favourites. Please check back on Sunday May 18th. for the winner, then you'll have the day to contact me with a postal address for delivery.
Thank you for visiting, and enjoy your day!
