Catch the bug Free Friday / rocking horse

Friday November 30, 2012 

It's the end of November (how did this happen?) and it's Friday so that means Free Friday at Catch the bug  http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/   Jodie drew an awesome ROCKING HORSE ..How many of us remember rocking horses growing up? I mean the wooden ones not the plastic ones of today's. I loved my little rocking horse and I remember I had a red Annie Oakley outfit complete with leather fringe, cowgirl boots and cap guns. Boy those were the times. This reminds me so much of my little pony.

Thought this would be a cute card for a child, like my grandchild. I think it has one of my grand kids name on it. I kept it kind of simple with the red and gray. I like the round shape and the little ho - ho- ho stickers.. cute huh?

ANYTHING BUT A CARD CHALLENGE

 

This image is GARNER he is a re-release. Doesn't he look like he'd make a great anniversary, love, happy birthday, I'm sorry, get well --heck any card?

I decided to make a tag, it's quite big 3x8 but I wanted the image to be large enough to color and I knew what I wanted to do.. Shock - as I have a mind block when it comes to tags. I love how it came out. I have a whole box full of assorted yarns and chose some awesome yarns to go on the tag.

I hope you check out the Paper pretties blog and see the other DT creations.

Sunday Stella Sketch 124

Sunday Stella Sketch Sunday 124 http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/

 This is the card I made for the Sunday Stella Sketch 124. I used Ruby Christmas tree image. Woo Hoo another Christmas card made.  I used lots of old papers, I have about 4 12x12 Christmas pads and just chose papers that I thought looked good together. I used some old stars from my local craft store. I felt that the left side of the card was too bare. I like the way the stars kind fill that void.
