From the herd

HAY everyone!!! LOL I received this image of Edwin with a chicken from someone awhile ago - I never bought him, but I think I might need to now...he is adorable!!!! I coloured everything with copics. I made parts of it stand out (decoupage) - the egg, the chicken and Edwin's head for a different effect. The horse and chickens are popped out too. I should have taken a side view of it to show you...sorry! Next time!!! Inside the sentiment says "Happy Birthday From the Herd" which is appropriate for my family since we are so HUGE!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment - you know I love them and appreciate them!!! Have a great day!!

Stamps: Magnolia (Edwin with chicken, sheep, horse, hay bale); Little Paper shop (chicken, sentiment inside); Cornish Heritage Farm (chicken wire background)
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa
Ink: copic markers

A few birthday cards

My family is coming over on Sunday to celebrate January birthdays so I had to make the cards. This first card is for my Mom - her birthday was on the 10th. She turned 76!! I used Tangerine Tango CS & DP and I just loved how this turned out in real life. The colour is my fave!!! I paper pieced her dress to match the DP and added glitter brads from Doodlebug. This Tilda is from the Valentine collection.

This card is for my Dad - his birthday is on the 31st. He will be 77! Crazy!!! I am the youngest of 6 kids - my parents were 39 & 40 when I was born! My oldest brother was 18 and was already moved out by then! Anyways, on to the card! The stamp is Classic Car from Little Paper Shop - I coloured it with my copics then used the colorless blender to mess up the brown a bit to give it an old rusty look - not sure if I achieved that, but I think it looks ok!

This one is for my Brother in law - his birthday was on the 12th. The image is from a TAC set that I want but someone sent me a bunch of images so that will have to do for now!! The sheriff badge was a stamp I got at Michael's ages ago. I totally covered it with Crystal Effects, then proceeded to stick my finger in it! DUHHHH!!! So it is REALLY thick!!! LOL

Hope your week is going great - it's HUMP day today - only 2 days until the weekend!!! Which I will spend Sat. cleaning the house & Sunday visiting with family!!! Not sure if I will have a post from now till after that, so have a great weekend!!!
