Three, three, three cards in one!

I made these three cards for the Paper Makeup Stamps design team call.  I just love their sweet fairies! 

Since we have several musicians as friends and in the family, I could give this card to just about anyone. I’ve mentioned before that I belong to the Idaho Old Time Fiddlers.  We really enjoy going out to play for community events and at care/retirement centers.  They all really seem to enjoy the break in their routines and to come and share some music with us.  Sadly, I haven’t been participating much this year.

Isn’t Ally just adorable.  I can just see her having a summer tea party out in her yard!  I found another trick to make some crinkly ribbon.  I saw this on the Tattered Angels blog. 

They used nylon ribbon.  It looked like organza which is what I used.  All you do is use your heat gun to slightly melt the ribbon.  It only takes a second to melt to the correct point so be careful.  I actually melted a few holes in my ribbon but thought it lent a little more to the shabby look and that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!!! 

I added a little porcelain rose to my button on the bow.  It was sitting on my desk and it matched everything so perfectly that I couldn’t resist!

I wanted to watercolor an image as well so painted up Penelope.  She is one of my favorite PMS fairies.  For some reason I couldn’t get a very good photo of her.  The colors are kind of washed out on the image.  I distressed all the edges of the DP to make it look kinda’ grungy.  I love that look!

I haven’t mentioned that my sister, Alice, had foot surgery on Thursday.  Yesterday, Alice, my mother and I went to the cemeteries to lay flowers on our families graves.  It was quite humorous how my mother was carrying the buckets of flowers and water and Alice and I were just being lazy and not helping her.  I was holding Alice’s hand to help stabilize her and at the same time, nursing my sore rib.  My mom said she had wished that she would have brought her camera.  I told Alice that I would catch her if she feel but she said “NO” cause then I would hurt myself even worse!  What a sweetie.

I haven’t worked on my Digital Two for Tuesday project lately and I need to finish it up before I can work on  anything else!!!  They are due to Cora by June 6.  I can’t wait to be able to show it to you.  I’m excited to see what the other designers have chosen to do with these beautiful images.

I do have a few things already done that I haven’t photoed yet so I’ll get to that post when I want a break.  And you never know, I might even have some Squigglefly sneaks come my way!!!

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day and I believe it is a holiday in the UK as well.  Have a good one everybody!!!

Blessings,

Christine
