Pretty Painted Pony...

This is posted earlier than my usual Saturday or Sunday - helps with 2 inclement weather days at school!

This card is based on the digi challenge at
There's Magic In the Air with Nina May. When I first looked at the image I saw a welcome baby card. With the color scheme added to the challenge it seems more appropriate for a baby boy. I am entering this in a few more challenges that are listed below the pictures.

Oh by the way, I accepted the challenge by the DT member Kim (who just happens to be my daughter) who keeps asking, "Is your card done yet? Is your card done yet [over and over!], did you finish the inside?" She is definitely my motivator and inspiration! Love ya Kim!

The front...

And the inside...

As you can tell, I do everything Kim tells me to do, yeah right, like she does everything I tell her to do! LOL

Other challenges met:

1. 365 Cards - to use metal (by the way, love the new blog style!)

2. The Corrosive Challenge - to use 2 favorite embellishments (brad and punches [feet on inside]

3. Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - to honor new life, I chose a baby theme

4. Cute Card Thursday Challenge - again a baby theme and new stash of metal brads

5. The Fresh Batch Challenge - the sketch I followed

6. Our Creative Corner Challenge - sketch

6. Stampin' for the Weekend - new beginning, again baby theme

7. Cupcake Craft Challenge - a baby card

8. By the Cute and Girly - something new, I chose new baby theme

9. Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Something new, ditto

10. Creative Card Crew Challenge - distressing, I sponged edges of mats

11. ABC Challenge - to use layers, I did, inside and out!

12. Crazy 4 Challenges - to use dots, OK I didn't use a lots of dots

13. Papertake Weekly Challenge - New Beginnings

and of course

14. There's Magic In the Air - painted pony digi and color challenge

That's it for today, hope you like my card and didn't notice that I almost cut his ears off - that comes from being cheap and trying to save my paper, I printed it too close to the top of the CS. I think I need to sacrifice CS for design.

Have a great day and keep warm!

Winter Wishes...

Well, not exactly winter where I'm at...HAWAII!

Yes, we're still at Kim's and will be leaving on that big silver bird tomorrow afternoon. Makes me so sad :( to leave, we have had such a great visit. We didn't focus on Christmas as much as we did just being together and getting to know our gran-puppy Malie. Such a cutey and she did warm up to us pretty quick. Of course, giving her lots of treats broke the ice!

Kim let me dig into her stash of supplies to complete the card below for this week's TMITA challenge. It was so much fun to see how she organizes and all the different supplies she has. Now I'm motivated to go home and re-create my space and get the Mojo goin'!




She gave me 'another' lesson on coloring using her Prismacolor markers - I 'thinks' I better start saving my money...

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

1.
There's Magic In the Air - use digi moose and follow sketch

2. Charizma Cardz - anything but Christmas

3. Crafty Creations - No rules!

4. Creative Card Crew - anything goes

Next time you hear from me I will have left Paradise (high 70's all week!) and I will be back in the cold Midwest! Maybe I can pack this wonderful weather and take it home?

Hope you had a great Holiday and I wish you the very best for the coming New Year!
