And the Cow...

...jumped over the moon!
One of my favorite parts of being around little ones is the reading books and nursery rhymes while rocking and snuggling.  "Hey Diddle Diddle" is a classic, with a great rhythm.

This sweet cow from rubbernecker just screamed "moon jumper" to me.


The cow is colored with colored pencils and the moon is covered with Stickles (glitter glue).
Materials:
  • Stamps: Cow (SKU:569-06) and sentiment both from Rubbernecker Stamp Company;
  • Ink: StazOn Jet Black; Tim Holtz Antique Linen (for edges)
  • Paper: Patterned Paper from K and Company;
  • Accessories: Spellbinders dies, foam tape, Prismacolor Pencils, sandpaper, Stickles, circle and border punches from EK Success;

The Forgetful Elephant

 Today, I was inspired by this weeks sketch at Card Positioning Systems (CPS).

Here is the sketch #226:
And here is my card:

Details:
  •  Stamps: Elephant (SKU:569-09); and Sorry (SKU:568-03) both from Rubbernecker Stamp Company;
  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black;
  • Paper: K and Company and HOTP patterned paper;  DCWV embossed card;
  • Accessories: Copic markers, google eyes, foam tape, Coluzzle templates, CuttleBug embossing folder, Spellbinders die; embroidery floss;
 Unfortunately, I am one of those people that ONLY needs to make belated birthday cards...no matter how hard I try...they are late.  Hopefully the sweet look on this elephant will encourage forgiveness and understanding.

 Thank you so much for stopping by, and thanks to the CPS team for this wonderful challenge!
