Just pretty

This card was designed for a challenge to use your favorite college teams colors. OK, I don't have a favorite college team. So, I used the colors of the individual who posted the challenge. I have no idea of what school this represents. The doily was made with a Tim Holtz die using printed tissue paper. The flowers are a Penny Black die.

Mojo Monday 444

This is my take on the Mojo Monday sketch this week. I used one of the Tim Holtz Mini Crazy bird stamps. I think I am addicted to them.

Courage

The theme for my mixed media canvas challenge this month was courage/bold. I love playing with the crazy birds, so this time I decided to use the minis. The leaf stencil is from Magenta.

Hot Air Balloon

The Monday Greetings challenge this past week was "Let there be sky". I used my favorite cloud template to create my sky and then added a Tim Holtz hot air balloon. I colored the the balloon with Zig real color brushes.

Hippity Hoppity

The Monday Greetings challenge this week is "Anything Goes". Here is another fun Crazy Bird stamp with bunny ears from Tim Holtz.

Crazy Cats and Birds

The Saturday Paper Ala Mode challenge at The Outlawz this week was "Anything Goes".   I have been having too much fun making these mixed media cards using the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds and Crazy Cats.

Sketch Saturday #393

This is the card I made for the current Sketch Saturday challenge. The birds are from Hero Arts and the sentiment from Dina Wakely. I used Tim Holtz Tissue tape as my background stripe.

Cute Card Thursday #406

The challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday was "Anything Goes". I have been having a lot of fun playing with the Crazy Birds and Mixed Media.

Happy 60th birthday!

The final coloring challenge at The Outlawz was this past week. I have been having a great time making these cards with the crazy birds. My hairdresser will be turning 60 in February, so I had to make him a great card!

Crazy Bird Birthday

Another Tim Holtz crazy bird card. I am loving this mixed media technique with these birds.

Crazy Bird Birthday

The Paper Ala Mode challenge at The Outlawz this past week was "Anything Goes".  I decided to play with a technique that a friend had shared. The background is made on a cereal box in which paint was lightly applied with your fingers. You then stamped onto the first layer. Finally, paper from sewing patterns and music were added. I went one step further and stenciled the alphabet on using texture paste. The birds, of course, are from Tim Holtz. I love these crazy birds!

Crazy Bird

The Tuesday Color Challenge at The Outlawz was a Tic-Tac-Toe board. I chose the row of yellow, yellow green and green with the addition of a ribbon.

Butterflies and a Napkin

The background on this card is a napkin. I used Tim Holtz butterflies to embellish it.

Happy Bird-Day



The Monday Greetings challenge at The Outlawz was to use embossing. I used the embossing for my greeting, since you need to have a greeting on this card. The bird is from Tim Holtz and is on a wobble.

Happy Bird-day

I have been making birthday cards. These are two of my favorite, using the Tim Holtz birds and balloons from My Favorite Things.

A little birdie....

The Monday Greeting challenge at The Outlawz was to use twine. This is one of the new birds from Tim Holtz and he just looked so distressed, that I decided to wrap him up in twine. He has one googly eye and one big eye.
