Colorful Vintage -- Crazy Amigos Challenge

I've been so enjoying Jacqueline's white embossed backgrounds, that I had to give it a try here.
I used stamps by Anna Griffin and Hero Arts. The four squares are all from Crafty Individuals.

Another colorful image from Crafty Individuals. Background panels made with stamps from Hero Arts and Tim Holtz.

I just love the way that dog's paw rests on her shoulder:)

Crazy Amigos Challenge

The challenge today at Crazy Amigos is to incorporate a proverb or saying into a card. I used a saying by Mother Theresa. The stamp is from Stampabilities.
The image is a photo stamp from Stampsmith, stamped on glossy cardstock with Ancient Page ink.

Crazy Amigos Challenge

I don't think I've ever participated in this challenge before, but as I was blurfing this morning I came across someone who had created something for today's challenge of "cozy." As my eyes then fell upon this as yet uncolored House Mouse image laying in a box of "stuff," I figured I would have to join in.

I colored the image with Copic markers (which in my opinion give new meaning to "Coloring for Dummies.") They make coloring everything so, so easy! I've even found that they are very compatible with Staz-On ink and glossy paper when stamping photo stamps.

The paper is from Basic Grey's Mistletoe and Pear. My Michael's had it 70 percent off because it was on Christmas clearance, so I was lucky enough to find the 12x12 pad for $7.

As yesterday was my birthday, DH gave me a gift card for Michael's. The best part of the gift though was that he came with me to Michael's while I looked around for just the right thing. He looked terribly uncomfortable, but he stuck with it.
