FARMbEaR

Old McBear had a farm, E I E I O...
Time again for the Hambo Hoedown and this week it's down on the farm.  The image this week is Bear Farmer and the challenge is "Anything Goes".  Sometimes when the challenge is open, it's hard to come up with ideas.  This week was like that.  That's why I'm posting so late.  But I hope I did okay.

I added a smaller image and more DP on the inside.

Read the Book

The second post in the same day.  This one has a card.  I played along again this week at the Hambo Hoedown.  Gotta love progressive challenges. It's great for you to get freebies and for the site to have their images used.  I've played along for quite a few months.  I look forward to seeing what the challenge is every Wednesday.
So this week the challenge was to "add your own sentiment".  And if you use a Hambo Stamps image, you get the next week's image free.  Here is what I created.

I popped up the image and front sentiment on homemade black foam squares.  Then popped up the book, hands and arms on more foam squares.

I added the ribbon to imitate a ribbon book mark.

Witty Nurse

I'm running late with this post. I usually have my card posted for the Sassy  Studio Designs "Dare to be Sassy Thursday" challenge before the day it's due. I've had it done since Monday, but I got side tracked and didn't a chance to post it.  So this week's challenge at "DTBST" was to create a funny or witty card. Here's the link.  I thought my Sassy Nurse Heather would be good for this challenge.  So here's what I came up with.

Stuff I Used:

Image-Sassy Studio Designs Nurse Heather

Colored with Copics

Skin-E11, E13

Hair-E31, E34, E39

Eyes-G02, G05

Lips-R20, R22

Gloves-V12, V15

Shoes/cross-R24, R29

Uniform-shading B91, belt buckle Y26

DP-DCWV the Pocket Full of Posies Stack

Cardstock-Recollections

Ribbon-Darice "Trim Accents" trim value pack

Sentiments-Computer generated

I popped up Heather on foam squares. When I was putting the card together, I only had the green and blue ribbon on the front. And had the main panel ATGed down. It looked bare, so I had to try to pull the panel up enough to put the sparkly orange ribbon on.  Some how it worked and I got the ribbon on and the panel adhered back down.  Then adhered the banner and image.

I think this would make a great 21st Birthday card. 

The idea for the card came to me in a dream one night.  Does anyone else dream about making cards and challenges?  Or am I just a little crazy?

Thanx for peepin' and please comment and follow me.
