Birthday Kitty

Time to play along at Sassy Studio Designs "DTBST # 167". See it here. This week's challenge was to "Think Green and Recycle" something.  So when I saw the SSD "Pin up Cat", I knew I had to buy it and make this card.  I used the labels off of 3 cat food cans and created a background panel.  First a pic of the recipient of the cat food.  "Neka" my cat.

Neka

 Now the card.

I Did It!

I did it! I won the challenge for my card last week at the Hambo Hoedown

This is the first time I've won a card challenge.  I like the Hambo Hoedown because if you play along and submit a project, they send you a free digi set that you can use for the next week's challenge if you like.  I found out about the Hambo Hoedown from Lyn (screen name: Rebeccaof) on Split Coast Stampers.  http://splitcoaststampers.com  Also one of my favorite sites.

I'd like to thank Lyn for telling me about the Hambo Hoedown.
Monica & Tim at Hambo for having such a great site and challenges.
All those who left comments.
My nephew, Sean, for being adopted so I could make you a card and have the paper left over to make this card.
All those who helped to make this win possible.

Now it's off to start on the card for next week.



 

Hambo Hoedown 98

I played along again this week in the Hambo Hoedown.  http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/  Because I played last week I received the refrigerator digi for free. This week's challenge was "Leftovers".

I used some argyle patterned paper I had left after making a card for my nephew's adoption back in September of 2010.  The heart button is also from the buttons I got for the adoption card. 

Digital stamp: "Refrigerator" by Hambo Stamps

DP: DCWV the Stack 5

Sentiment: Computer generated

Accessories: Heart button, Embroidery Thread, White gel pen stitching

I popped up the Fridge, the fridge doors, handles, artwork and sentiment.

Image was colored with Copics

Here is the original card.
