Week Begins

Another week begins, and this one has a lot of committments for me-vet appointment, meeting at school, NHS is putting on a talent show Thursday night...not sure how much studio time there will be. Good thing yesterday I had lots of fun playtime!

So here's a mate to the card I showed you yesterday using another Riley the Moose travel stamp. I started with this red background paper and I used some Inkadinkado stamps from these fun little Posh set. I stamped the words and car several times in black to cover the background. I added some black and white polka dot paper tape. I die cut 2 of this fun oval shape, one in white and one in the same red as the card. The Big Ben Tower (Cherry Pie) is stamped with Versa Mark and some grey embossing powder-since I didn't have any regular brown powder. After embossing I cut it out and attached it. Then I stamped the Riley the Moose stamp on white and colored it before cutting it out and attaching it. I tried to make his shirt get a bit of a British Flag look to it, but it was an after thought and I couldn't put on the red. Lastly, I added some Ranger Dimensional Pearls on the 2 die cuts.

I like the Paris card better, but this little moose guy is still a lot of fun to use.

Thanks for visiting. I appreciate you stopping by.



Relaxing Today

I am going to lay low today and do a little school work and make a little art upstairs in my spare room studio.

Yesterday was so beautiful and in the 40's, the hubby and I went and walked the beach. Then before we ran some errands Dave and I went out for some yummy pizza for lunch at When Pigs Can Fly. And last night, we got to watch Maine play Boston University of TV and Maine won!!!!!! This weekend they swept BU both nights and last weekend they beat BC both nights- and they are the top 2 teams in Hockey East-never mind being really high ranked in the US. They are just on a ROLL! Now Maine is ranked #3!!!!!!! They were at 7th or 8th last fall so they have been playing their way right up to the top of the ten Hockey East teams. We're going to see them play when they play UMASS Lowell in 2 weeks and when we bought the tickets we figured UMASS would roll over them but now I am not so sure. Maine is ahead of them in points so it will be anyone's game.

I can't wait!

So this is a fun little card I made the other night. I love how I mixed some pretty layering with this playful little Riley the Moose tag. I made the tag on white paper and colored it with some Copics. The rest of the card is made with some images stamped directly onto this green American Crafts cardstock. Credits for the stamps-

Eiffel Tower in black (My Sentiments Exactly), writing background in brown (Cornish Heritage Farms), swirls in blue (Prima), clock in brown (Pink Paisley), Made in Paris (Stampa Rosa) and NO5 sign in mango (Pink Paisley).

I appreciate your visit.

Have a great day!
