myasperations 4-6-24

     I am honored to have served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp sets several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) It is always fun to see the images Beccy invites me to use and this time my card features Beccy’s new sets named Goat Club. I used a pre-colored digi (mainly because Beccy’s coloring is always stellar) plus  2 sentiments from the set.  (I knew that I wanted to create a Father’s Day card with this set, so created a computer generated sentiment for the front the card that helped in that task.)
     I love that Beccy names the characters that she creates, and this adorable Kid is named “Tator”!  (I think that is the cutest name EVAH!!)
     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz Monday Greeting Challenge: Love and Friendship (It is easy to see that this excited “kid” loves his old GOAT!)

Supplies: 

·   Precolored Digi and Inside Sentiments- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Goat Club )

·   Swirly texture on little Kid added with Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- Computer Generated

·   All other items from my stash.

     I had fun making Easter and Spring cards this year, especially using this sweet little fluffy duck from a Beccy’s Place digi set. For this card, I created a fun backdrop for the little cutie with a free background subway art and delicate little gem butterfly and flower stickers.
     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz Tuesday Color Wheel (although a bit more pastel in tone, this card includes 6 of the 8 colors on the wheel), Park Hopping-My Happy Place (I used the wonderful “inspiration” listing that sponsor Makira provides, and found that my card fits into one fun ride named  Egg-spress  at Pleasurewood Hills Park, Suffolk, UK) and Outlawz Sunday "Happy Easter" poem (my card reflects the line "May your Easter be happy" because the little duck just exudes happiness!) 
Supplies: 

·   Digi- from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Easter Joy)  

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Subway Art- Freebie from TLC Creations (April Subway Art)

·   Inside Sentiment- Computer Generated

·   Gem butterflies and flower stickers-Hobby Lobby

·   All other items from my stash.

     I wanted to enter one more card into the ABC Christmas Challenge before the current one closes. The instructions for making a Faux Envelope card provided me with a perfect way to meet the ‘F is for Faux' prompt. And it was fun to use so many items from my stash to create an unusual card!

·   Instructions for making a Fax Envelope Card found HERE

·   Front Sentiment- “Thinking of You at Christmas” sentiment- from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cardinals)

·   Weathered wood patterned paper- Hobby Lobby

·   Assorted snowflake stickers and other items from my stash.
