Blooming Child....I am a flower child

......saw this little poem (author not given) and thought this would be cute with the free digi from Bugaboo.  (Click image so it will enlarge and you can read poem.) I "played down" that she was a clown and emphasized she was a flower child....like me back in the late 60's....haha  

           This was a real challenge because I don't like clowns (don't hate me) and I'm still a cold, cough, sneezing, aching, sniffle human being.....haha  cough cough sniff sniff

        The background image is from a set by Trina Clark called "Garden Time".  The challenge is for Catch The Bug Birthday Blog (Tuesday).  

       

Stitching, copics, PSE, A2 size, Deloris gift or ribbon, rhinestones,  pearls, glitter

I started the poem different ways from it's original. .....

 " I'm your little flower, Dad. ... and then I also typed 

 " I'm your little flower.....   (can use for anyone)

Thank You Sew Much... Sledge Hammer... + freebie

 My easel card is for the Bugaboo and Delightful Inspirations challenges.  The bear image is from Delightful Inspirations.  I used a Trina Clark flowers and pumpkin image.  I used watercolor pencils and copic markers, along with some glitter pens.  I did a lot of sewing and added buttons. Will add sentiment later....perhaps "Thank You Sew Much!

       Some people questioned my sanity and if I really used a sledge hammer.  Yup, you just wouldn't believe the big brads and how impossible they were to press.  The hammer gave me instant results. I also have a large rubber mallet for stained glass, but that didn't work.  I now keep the sledge hammer under my work desk and if my husband needs it, well, he can come and get it.

My newest craft tool:  sledge hammer

As I sat outside in my lawn chair under the shade tree, drinking my Carolina Sweet Tea, and watching my dear husband sweat and mow the grass, I pondered as to what svg I should create.  My main purpose to being outside of course, was to provide my DH a cold glass of water, and tell him what a wonderful job he was doing, but the bugs were bothering me, so I headed inside.  The next things I saw flying were bad words, not grass....for the lawn mower pooped out!  Ahhh...let's make a lawn mower svg!  All of this is true, except I mow the grass whenever possible since I'm now retired and perhaps it's helping me burn a few calories.

(Posted a "raindrop" svg earlier today.)

Bugaboo  is having a A Stitch in Time Challenge (stitching and Fall colors). Sew....I dusted off my old reliable sewing machine and went to work.  I made 4 different cards and will post one each day. I used  Bugaboo bear and Trina Clark images, stitched the frame, banged some small grommets in, added some buttons, and used copic and glitter markers. This is also a OWH Challenge for today.

Happy Birthday with a cherry on top!!!

        Such a cute digi stamp from Meljen's Designs.  I added my svg cherries with stems, some glossy accents, embossing, Trina Clark's cupcake image and called it "Happy Birthday with a Cherry on Top".   I think the card could even be used for an adult's birthday.

Size: A2 (Vertical card)

Plant seeds of friendship

No svgs to offer, but have two svg sets to highly recommend.  I used rubber stamps, digi stamps, digi carts and copic markers.  There are SO MANY things you can do with sets from Svgcuts.com.  I used several files from the sets, Robin's Return set and Moonlight Garden Party set. I also used stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and Clear Dollar Stamps. Lastly,  digi stamps from Trinia Clark and Friends.
