Annie Oakley get your guns!

Hello again,

Today I am sharing the card I made for my Mum’s birthday last week, she often talks about the year all the girls in the street she grew up in got Annie Oakley outfits for Christmas (the boys got sheriffs outfits) all with cap guns and the fun they all had running around in the street re-enacting stories from the traditional wild west of America and the Television series Annie Oakley…

I was a lucky winner earlier this year over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I was thrilled to discover an image called Sugar ‘n Spice dolls Sage as Annie Oakley which of course I had to have as one of my prizes, I found a newspaper article which showed two different costumes for Annie Oakley from the fifties and sixties, Mum can remember that the skirt was red and she wore a white shirt underneath the vest but she cannot be sure of the colour the vest was.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White 5” x 7” card

Hello again,

What a long week last week was, still no answer from pain clinic, buck passing again... 'it's not my area' strange that I can have a physio who understands and can print text book images of what I'm talking about but Dr's....

Still sharing some of the cards I made last month, this one is headed for a teen science whizz...

I downloaded and printed a periodic table to create the nerdy sentiment... overlaying cardstock scraps (held with washi) and running it back through the printer until I had all the letters I needed

Here's my card:-

Okay so the paper I used came from a $2 shop I chose the area with some random patterns and colours mixed through it and used a stencil for the first time with some red and white Colorbox ink to add some more interest to the background paper.

What I used:-

What I used:

Green graffiti paper from stash

White card blank

Black and white cardstock from scraps (large and small)

Polka Doodles image Science Geek

Faber-Castell Pencils

Francheville enamel stickers

Bella Droplets enamel stickers

Memory box stencil ‘zippy dots’

Red and white Colorbox ink pads

Bugaboo Christmas in July Recipe Day 5

Hello again,

Well we are past the half way mark in this years annual Christmas in July celebration and challenge week, today brings us to Humour me Wednesday and a recipe challenge.

Recipe:

Make it Funny (Crabby Cat and Sentiment)

Use scallops (Lawn Fawn Stitched scalloped border)

Bling (sequins)

Layers (four)

I chose Crabby Cat Christmas from my collection of Bugaboo images simply because I had to use this hilarious sentiment from Create with TLC from last years Christmas Digi Club, my Uncle will probably receive this card and it will give him a laugh… Paulette has relaunched her store this year and right now only a fraction of the Christmas sentiment kits she has in her collection are available with more to come undoubtedly as the Festive season approaches. This month Paulette has join forces with Desire from her Design Team to host an all new Challenge- Anything goes with a TLC image or sentiment challenge.

Here’s my card:-
