Tractor Easel Birthday Card

Jay's father has great love for the land and tractors.  Thus the inspiration for easel this card! 

I found the instructions for the easel card here!   Following the tutorial, I put the card together, then selected the graphics, lightened the background using paint shop pro, added the sentiments and printed.  Using glitter markers, I colored in the cornstalks in the background and traced over 'The Greatest Gift', which added a little sparkle.  The tractor and 'Dad' are cut with the Cricut and SCAL. I punched holes in the red/black layered rectangle then strung twine through the holes and tied on the backside before adhering to the background.

Using the same corn graphic design on the inside, I printed and colored with glitter markers.

I got a pretty good giggle when Jay went to sign the card for his dad..... he didn't want to 'ruin' the sparkling cornstalks, so signed the card up on top, under the flap!!! :)

This card was entered in the 'Old McDonald had a farm' challenge over at Challenge Up Your Life.

Enjoy your day!

Happy February!

Happy February 1st!  Woke this morning to fresh fluffy snow...simply beautiful as it falls magically from the sky!  Sharing a Beary Special card with you this morning!  I had fun playing with words in photoshop this weekend!

Butterfly Kisses!

The minute I received my January Memory Works Express kit, I knew I was going to do something with 'Butterfly Kisses', but wasn't sure exactly what it was.... So as usual, I surfed and surfed and surfed until my hearts content.  I finally decided to put together a stand-up Butterfly kisses card.   I will attempt to upload directions later this week!  Here's the Butterfly Kisses Card! Enjoy your day! ~Rhonda

  

Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire....

The sparkles, chill in the air and my scrap room are telling me Christmas is just around the corner!   There is just something about the Christmas Season that makes my heart sing!  This year all gifts under the tree are adorned with a handmade Christmas tag!  Wishing you a Season filled with warmth, happiness and love! ~Rhonda
