Come Here Often

I made my stepdad a birthday card using a super-cute image from Sassy Cheryl's Illustrations called Come Here Often. I drew in the floor to help make the scene look like an old-time ice cream/soda fountain diner. I printed an IU logo on the hat and shirt because that's his favorite basketball team (Indiana University). I used Copic markers to color the image, added three tiny red buttons and the Happy Birthday clip. The image is on foam squares to give it a little dimension. The message on the inside was along the lines of the Shake, Rattle and Roll theme, as I made up my own little rhyme. Many times I try to make up my own little poems or rhymes for my cards, it helps to make it that much more personal, I think! Here's a look at my card.

So get on up and do The Stroll and enjoy your day with some soul! Have a wonderful day!

Moving House

Can someone tell me how to find more hours in the day, Please? Somehow my list of things to do grows faster than my list of things done - LOL! Anyway, this month's Progressive Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz features a cute image called Moving House by Hetty Clare Art. I used Copic markers to color it, then cut a grunge frame with my Silhouette Cameo. I added a little saying about moving day with flower and butterfly buttons (the shanks were cut off) and I'm finished! Take a look and let me know what you think!

Have a wonderfully colorful day!
