Egg Hunt

Posted on April 10, 2017 3:38 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today for the Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS424) on Splitcoast, we’re going on an egg hunt! I was pretty good at hunting Easter eggs when I was a kid. In fact, my dad used to make me put some back for my sister & brother. Waaaaaahhhhhh… not fair! Then there was the prize Falstaff egg. No different than any other..just had the word “Falstaff” on it. And I have no idea why, other than it was a beer my dad sometimes drank. So I’d put some back, but if I had the Falstaff egg, I was keeping that puppy!

My CAS card has a big ol’ bunny face, a big ol’ rainbow egg (not the Falstaff, obviously) & and Easter egg hunt sign, in case you didn’t know the way. Colored & fussy cut the pieces, added some grass & clouds and a-bee-a-bee-a-bee-a that’s all folks!

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are Copics I used.

Mail Dog

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT628) is a tribute to National Puppy Day. While I don’t have a dog in real life, I do have a cute one on my card & he’s learned to put mail in the mailbox. What a champ! And on the subject of dogs…the last dog I had was a blonde cocker spaniel named Tigger. We also had a conure (parrot) we named Odie. We called him Odie (after the cartoon dog on Garfield) because he thought he was a dog. He learned to bark from Tigger, but his bark sounded kind of far away. We realized he was imitating the dog when he was barking from the back yard. The parrot we have now is named Linus (after the character on Charlie Brown). He also barks because he learned it from Odie. Guess I also have a thing for cartoon characters, lol. Here’s a pic of Odie on his favorite cup.

To make my mail dog card, I put together 3 different images..the dog w/ the fence is one. Originally he had a big stick in his mouth but I drew a letter to replace the stick. The lovebirds on the branch is another & the third is the mailbox, which originally had a big smiling daisy w/ a letter in its leaf. So there was some masking going on here. After I colored everything, I used a self made cloud stencil & sponged in the sky, & stamped a lines bg, tone on tone on the blue frame.

Here are the Copics I used.

Easter Bunny

Posted on March 20, 2017 7:21 PM by Julie 3 Comments

What a fun couple of challenges on Splitcoast today! When I read the Technique Challenge (TLC630), I just KNEW I had some baby wipe bgs already made. Sheesh..I made them so long ago it’s a good thing bgs don’t have expiration dates! And as luck would have it, they were good Easter colors. Can I get a high five, y’all!?

So, for the CAS (CAS421), Bunny Hop, I also happen to have a cute little bunny that hadn’t seen ink yet. Colored him then cut around his little bunny body to insert the die cut window. Added the greeting & some fussy cut Easter eggs I stamped on more of the wipey bg & we’re done.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it, the Copics I used.
