It's Hambo Time!

Hello to all the new peeps following along  :) So glad you are here!
To see why you should become a follower click here , lots of prizes to be won. Woot, Woot!

This week at the Hambo Hoedown the challenge is to make an easel card. I knew when I saw the challenge what I had it mnd. My son just completed Karate this week and I wanted to make him a card. He struggled through it, but in the end was able to complete the classes :) I am so proud of him.

I used the digi image from Hambo Stamps called 'Wee Henry Karate'

I coloured up Wee Henry with copics and popped him up. His little ribbon says 'I did it'-perfect for how proud my son  felt when he passed.
I didn't need to use anything to keep the top section up as the layer of vanilla seems to be holding it up.
Thanks for stopping by :)

As some of you know I have 3 children under 8. Life can sometimes get crazy busy. I try and take some 'mommy time' to make my cards but it seldom goes without interruption. Even though daddy may be home, mommy can do things daddy can't (at least that's the way they see it!)

Which brings me to my card. I made this Christmas card for the Digi Darla Challenge Blog 'snow fun with bling'. As I created this card I was pulled away at every step. Every step. Those kids of mine have radar that goes off every time I go into my craft room. Seriously!

I looked over my card and thought I definitely have the bling (on her hat, cuffs and boots). BUT, I was so upset I didn't remember the snow...or so I thought.

Take a peak at that green paper! Yep, snowflakes! Score :) So I can offically enter this into the challenge.
I think I may go back and add some versa mark snowflakes up top, if I get a chance to sneak away :)
Have a great night!

MelJen's Challenge Time

It's anything goes over at MelJen's Challenge Blog.

This week I chose to use an oldie but goodie called 'baby shower'. I just love this image, it's so fun to colour :)

Here is my baby shower card for an upcoming boy shower

The background paper I've had for over a year, bought from Micheals. The brown ribbon is SU, the digi is coloured with copics. 
I added sparkles to the umbrella and diaper. Which got me to thinking, if you had all the money in the world, would you put bling on your baby's diaper?
Yep, random odd thoughts today-lol.
Have a great day :)

ps-still lots of time to enter into the Clear it Out Challenge and wins some goodies!

If you missed the giveaway news you can check it out here

This week at the Hambo Hoedown, it's time to make a masculine card. This is perfect as I need to make a Christmas card for my brother. I used the digi stamp by Hambo called 'Anta Claus', here is my card

 In the photo  I added 'brother' in photoshop to give you an idea as to where I will be putting his name. I coloured the ant with copics, and used my chalk marker to add dots to the digi's ribbon. The snowflake and ribbon are from Stampin' Up (old stash). The rub on sentiment is from Making Memories. Thanks for stopping by :)
