And the Wolf Makes 3!

I know these cards are rather looking alike, but I think they'll make a fun set and I will produce more and sell them that way.

I'm so glad I tried the SWAT Challenge #116 with Mark's Finest Papers one more time. Thank you Vickie Yeakley for hosting this fun challenge!

Apparently, it was '5 times the charm' for me this time!

Be Bear Aware!

The signs are everywhere on the trails in the northwest. Carry bear spray, hike in groups and listen and watch for the signs of bear.

We were fortunate enough not to run into one again this year but we both always carried our bear spray. I don't think you'll need the spray for this momma and cub though.

This is a copy-cat for the mfp SWAT Challenge #116. I'll make the wolf tomorrow and it means I've finally found a use for the footprint stamps I bought last year. I consider that a victory!

Moose Tracks

In Yellowstone there is an ice cream called Moose Tracks. It has caramel, mini peanut butter cups and chocolate swirl in it. I thought of it while making this card.

The background is stamped with moose tracks and the front piece is, of course, a moose!

This was my 5th attempt at creating a card for the mfp SWAT Challenge #116.

I think this was so hard for me because I kept using stamps that required a center piece rather than being able to offset it like this called for.

Watch for a possible wolf and bear sighting to come :)

Tag You're It!

What a fun Challenge this time from Friends of Speedy TV! It is to make at least 2 tags. I chose Christmas since the holidays are speeding towards us. I intend to make more but will have to settle on submitting these 2 for this Challenge.

The basic paper is my home made stock and the car is from an older mfp set while the sleigh is from, well just a Christmas set. These took a little planning but with the back stamped "To: and From:" before the embossing was done, I can attach them to presents quite easily.

Get ready because I hear jingle bells 'a ringing!

Time for a Challenge!

I have been on the road home from Yellowstone to Florida and am now all set up to make cards and join in on the fun again.

I am entering this card in the Mark's Finest Papers Oriental Challenge #55. I was able to combine the saying from the Calm & Wisdom stamp set with the Lanterns stamp set from mfp. I had fun adding the embellishment of thread for the longer fringe.

I believe these little lanterns would make any patio rather gay with friends around!
