HAVE YOU HERD

I must be into cows, not knowing I just posted a QKR Challenge card two days ago using a cow...haha

I cased Peppermint Patties at My Favorite Things using the cow from The Whole Herd.  I realized I made the card too big when you can't really see the cow background.  Of course, I did four and continue with CAS.  One I stitched, one I used watercolors, some colored in PS and others using copics.  I topped them off with pop-ups for dimension and an extra punched cloud.

Monochromatic "thinking of you"

QKR is having their Challenge #204.  I'm using their adorable Whistling Cow.  The theme is monochromatic (I'm using shades of brown in the copic E family).  I love a challenge!  I'm also keeping with my plan of CAS for the next two weeks.  Of course, making 4 cards for my stash.

I made the sentiment and cloud design in Design Studio and cut it all out using my Cameo.  With the help of copics, stitching, and pop-ups for dimension, I'm calling them done.  Thanks for dropping by.

No udder brother...

Two brothers...each unique!  My oldest brother is gravely ill so I continue sending him fun, happy cards.  Well, I can't leave the other brother out, so he gets a card too!

I used Udder Fun Ants from Doodle Pantry.  I cased my friend Dawn Frost...loved her card.  I used the pre-colored image. I changed the word "friend" to "brother".  I think the milk can svg came from the Silhouette Store which I tweaked.  I made my own background since I didn't have the wonderful Impression Obsession splatter stamp.

There still lots of time to join us at Doodle Pantry for the Ants in the Pantry Challenge #4 : Anything Goes.

Loving Cows for Mary Hannah

I saw these adorable Loving Cows (from the Silhouette Store) that Sue created and knew I had to case for my grand daughter.  It will be one of her Valentines.  I made two for her: one to hold, tear up and carry around.  The other can be displayed and then put in her memory box of cards.

Off to the beach tomorrow till Sunday, but my husband and dogs will keep the "home fires burning" and secure.  We have security and security cameras in the house.  I can go on my phone or IPAD at anytime and see what the puppies are doing...haha  I can usually find my DH napping in the den chair with the puppies sleeping on top of him.

just an angle view...forgot to some the sentiment and cute hearts on the back

Dream a Little Dream

When does any baby or child look the sweetest?  Sleeping!!! So, I just had to dedicate a double page to "sleeping innocence".  I chose the set "Time to S-moo-ze" by Little Scraps of Heaven.  So sorry for the outside lighting pictures.  Anyhoooo, I'm keeping 5 pages very soft and girly and the other 5 neutral just so it doesn't look like the same thing all the way through the book.

Just an udder day...

Time for a one-step card.  I merged two Doodle Pantry pre-colored images... Moo Sheep and Jug and Bucket.  I have used "Moo Sheep" so many times and in so many different ways...I really enjoy this little image set.

For the life of me I find it hard remembering which company's dies I use on a card...this time the fence is from Die-namics and grass die is from Poppy Stamps.  The milk container is from the Silhouette Store.  The cloud svgs are mine.

An-udder birthday

Cheryl, at Cafexpressions, became a cyber friend when we were both collaborating on SVGCUTS.com forum over 4 years ago. Little did we know, her living in Michigan and me living in South Carolina that our paths would personally cross. She and her family moved to West Virginia...ok...a little closer.  We continued our shared interest with svgs, cutting machines and digi images. Heading to the beach with another friend, I called and asked her to join us...see did.  We all had a grand time coloring and making cards. She fell in love with the SC beaches and our weather.  1 1/2 years later, due to her husband's business, the family moved to Greenville....what were the odds. What's a little ironic, is that we still spend more time conversing on the internet or phone than actually visiting each other's house...haha  We manage to take some trips to the local craft stores together. If I ever run out of glue, at least I know more glue is just 6 houses away...lol

This is her birthday card.  I was instantly attracted to it when Doodle Pantry posted it this morning as one of their new releases....and there still a sale going on at the store.  Moo Sheep comes in black/white and pre-colored, along with fun sentiments and matching paper which I also used. I TOTALLY CASE'd Jennie Whittaker's fun card.

I got the biggest giggle when I saw this week's FREEBIE FRIDAY image from Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps. ...genius Jodie! 

I made several of these cards.  So many sentiments I will be putting on the inside on my card: ...I miss you!  ...another birthday already!   ...it's been too long since we've spoken.  ...half the school year is almost gone.

I also used"trees" from the Winter Bliss Collection from SVGCuts.

Fly over to Catch The Bug for some wonderful card interpretations of "Holy Cow".

Utterly Missing You

        OWH is having a challenge with a farm theme.  I purchased this little cow svg from Treasure Box Designs.  She is just a swingin'! Paper was from the Little Sizzix  pack called Country, cut a tree limb, did some inking, some stitching, added a bow and hope to call it done....haha

Moooochas Grassias Deloris (+ freebie)

I have several thank you cards to send, so hope none of those people are reading my blog today...haha

No mojo yet, so I totally scraplifted Deloris' adorable thank you card.  Just to add a personal touch, I added some scallops to one, along with some ribbon and a button I dot-painted with a brown copic marker to match the cow, but I totally love Deloris' just the way it is.  The cute stamp is from the set called Bovinia Buttinski's Gang from Lindy's Stamp Gang.  Okay....thought this would help get "my feet wet" and help get my groove back.  Slowly but surely! I've decided to entered this in Rhonda's "Anything Goes" challenge at The Latte Lounge.

Deloris's card: Mooochas Grassias

I seem to be on an animal movement...haha  However, I am still trying to do some svgs that I want to work with soon, so as promised, here is today's freebie.

Both A2 size card, MS punch, copic markers

This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with today's card, but I have big plans for this svg soon.
