Party Animal

This week over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the challenge is to create something with an animal. I received my fabulous images from Jerusha and as soon as I saw this image I knew what I wanted to do, I'm so thankful that she included two of each image, so I could create the 3-D card. I had to use the computer for the sentiment because I didn't cut it out correctly and the sentiment is slightly changed from the original...not on purpose I just had anytime in my mind not any day! LOL. I dug through my scrap box and found some red and thought maybe red and blue, but then I remembered that I had some scrap die cuts of kraft paper and voila I decided to go with red and kraft. It's so nice when you can use your scraps...they didn't work for the last creation but you can get 'em to work with something else if you save 'em!! Okay okay enough blah blah blahhing!


I also made this card for KLSNS June Sketch challenge on Paper Craft Planet. Yes, I joined PCP this weekend I'd been resisting for awhile, but finally gave in. Carolyn can be quite persistent :P! I had started something completely different only to come back to my first idea because I didn't like how the first card was turning out. I don't use pink too often, so this was fun! This image was another image I received from Jerusha, we swapped images a few weeks ago. I love getting new images and trying them out. Once I get a job maybe I can purchase some of the ones I've gotten through swaps.


Tomorrow is a busy day we will be at Karmanos Cancer Center all day. We have to be there by 7 am so we'll need to leave here by 5 am and they told us we will likely be there until 8:30pm. So thats quite a long day, with the drive that'll be 16 hrs or so. Tim's sister is driving Mitch to his ride and we should be able to pick him up on the way home. Well time for me to get going to make sure we have enough goodies to eat packed and I have to go get Mitch, oh and I want to pack scrappin goodies to keep me busy! Well best get my arse in gear!

Have a great day!!
