OMG!!! Kenny K Is Having A DT Call!!!!

Anyone who knows me knows that Kenny K is one of my most favorite Digi companies! His images are so "me" in style! When I found out Kenny K is having a DT call, my first thought was, "OMG, I have to apply!" But then I got to thinking about how many people would be applying and figured I wouldn't really have a chance. So I thought about it and tossed the idea around in my head...

Around, and around, and around...

I tossed the idea around so much, that I felt like I was tossing a salad!

You know what they say though, we're our own worst critics! And mama always said, "You will never know, if you don't try." And mama was right. I have to try, or I'll always wonder, "What if I had..."

So, here I am Kenny K!


My first example is one of my new favorites. This is my first attempt at doing an altered clock. My friend, Dan, loves Mystical, Magical and Fantasy themed items, so I wanted to give him something different, this year for Christmas. The image is from Rick St Dennis. I apologize that the image in the photo isn't super clear to show off the coloring, but It took me several attempts to get a decent picture of it. All the sparkle on the image, plus the glare on the glass made it difficult to get a perfect photo of the clock.






This next one is one of the most favorite cards I have ever made. My first attempt at a side step card! This one was so much fun to make, and plus I love Halloween! I even incorporated acetate into this card, to be different. I made another of these that I love, also, but I don't want to bore anyone with posting two types of the same card. The images on the card are from Stamping Dragon Designs.





And, since this post is for the Kenny K DT call, and Christmas is fast approaching, it's only fitting that I show you my Christmas cards for this year. Sometimes I think simple is the way to go. Some images and papers go so great together, that you just don't need or want to add a lot of "extras." I love Kenny K's new Santa image and found this awesome glittered cardstock that I knew would look great with Santa. The layout, I felt, was perfect for Santa and the papers, so all I really needed was a little extra "bling" from the silver Christmas tree trim.





Now, the waiting begins. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get to be one of Kenny K's Krafty Girlz!

Thank you, Kenny K, for the opportunity to apply!

When Bears Go Camo



Let's celebrate those wonderful military personnel who serve our country. This cute little bear is a Dustin Pike Image (Doodle Dragon Studios. I wanted to make the bear different, so I printed him onto camo patterned paper and then paper pieced the heart with a white cardstock heart colored with a pastel yellow promarker. The army green star patterned paper was cut out using nestabilities. The textured paper behind the image is some old paper from my stash, that I am trying to get rid of. I've had it since I started card making and I don't like it, so I've kept putting off using it. Card layout was made by using the sketch at Doodle Dragon Studio's challenge blog.

Red White & Blue For You



Another Red White & Blue card... this time using an image from Dustin Pike (Doodle Dragon Studios).

I used the sketch from Pollycraft. The background papers are all from my stash. There are 7 stars on this card...One yellow (on the flag) and 6 blue. Four of the blue are glittery brads. The two stars on the textured ribbon are punched using a punch from Creative Memories. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set by Stampin Up and is punched using the word window punch by Stampin UP! The sentiment background is punched using the Modern Label punch by Stampin Up.

Since I dont have a donkey image to use for the card...I'm sending this card to Michelle Oatman, who was in an accident recently and lost use of her right eye. You can read all about her on her blog: Stamps, Paper, Scissors and Donkey Smiles.

A Fishing We Will Go




It's Summer time, and Father's Day is just around the corner! What a perfect time to celebrate both! This weather is perfect for fishing, and this card reminds me of how my dad used to love to fish when we were younger. He'd take us all to the lake with him. I can still remember the first time I cast my line and it went in the tree. Dad had to climb up there and get it out. I still think of fishing when I think of summer, but I admit that I'd prefer not to bait my own hook! LOL

My dad is one of the strongest and most awesome people I know. He's my hero, like in the song, "Wind Beneath My Wings." I love you,dad! :)

For this card, I have used the Sketch at Critter challenge. The image is from Dustin Pike (Doodle Dragon Studios). The new background paper is from my recent trip to Hobby Lobby. (What can I say, I love paper almost as much as I love punches!) I spent some time cleaning out closets and sorting old clothes today, and found this green shirt with these buttons on it... And I thought they would be The perfect color for this card. (I don't know why I ever bought a green top anyway, since I've never really liked green.) Might as well recycle! The circle with the sentiment is punched using a circle punch from Marvy, and pop dotted for dimension. The green shape behind it is made with photo corners punched with an EK Success photo corner punch.

I almost forgot to add that I colored this image with my new Promarkers! Wow! I am loving these markers soooo soooo sooo much! I'm already ordering more colors!
