Try Stampin' on Tuesday - or Saturday :)

I absolutely love the meerkat set from Stampin' Up.  Their sweet little faces make me smile!  I colored them in with watercolor pencils, an ancient Megan Elizabeth sentiment, and DCWV Safari Chic paper. 

I based the layout on the Try Stampin' On Tuesday's sketch:

Stay Wild, My Friend

I love the Always Playing With Paper sketch this week:

Turned it on it's side,it's perfect to showcase some really fab paper:

Older (hoarded) DCWV Safari Chic papers, Recollections stamps in Kaleidacolor Autumn ink.  Stash brown ribbon. Check back on Wednesday for the new Words 2 Craft By Challenge!!

OWH Sunday Sketch Challenge #223

This week's challenge and my response:

Stamper's Best image, Safari patterned paper, TPC Studios sentiment, Offray ribbon.  A bit more subtle that I had intended, but I like it!!

OWH Sunday Sketch Challenge #176

This week's sketch challenge over at Operation Write Home looks like this:

My versions look like this:

DCWV Safari papers, Sizzix crocodile texture plate, Cuttlebug chevron embossing folder, K&Co Beyond Sentiments vellum stickers, scrap ribbons.  The dark layer on the right hand card is a glitter paper, but it is OWH friendly - I promise!!! 

I tried a few different embellishments in the lower left corners.  Multiple textures with the different embossing and ribbon made the cards a little busier than I like.

OWH VCMP Photo Any Hero Card

Handmade By Julie's challenge is to make an Any Hero card using a personal photo.  Here is mine:

Sandy may have Punch and Ciara, but I had my kitties.  This pair is long crossed the rainbow bridge (I think this was taken in 1988!), but their cuteness lives on!!!!  My recent photos are all digital, so I didn't have one of my current orange tiger Timone, and my labs Casey and Tucker.
