Zebra Baby

Hallo,
  Not sure if I will get time to post later so a quick one now :) I have a long list of errands to get done and hope to squeeze in some craft time too.....
  I took my puppy for a short card ride and a long walk in the woods this am and she loved every minute and would have probably walked alot longer if I would have ahd time.
We walked for an hour. She is getting better in the car and I am hoping by taking her for walks in the woods via the car she will get to like the car ride better knowing she gets to explore in the woods.
  I did this card to match the baby box for my DH's niece that is having a baby in a couple weeks. The theme for her baby room is Zebra's and as you might have guessed, they are expecting a little girl.
  The stamp is from old Cornish Heritage Farms - haven't seen it up on the new store yet but I am sure it will be in time. I loved coloring the baby pink - made me smile.
  Well better get in gear ....

Zebra Baby box

Hallo,
   I have been dying to show this one off - and since my DH's niece should have gotten it yesterday or at least tomorrow (and she doesn't look at my blog I am pretty sure) I will show it to you today.
  One of my DH's Nieces is having a baby and the theme for the baby room is Zebra's - so this is a gift box with a memory book inside made just for her. (I love zebra's too so this was fun - hard part was choosing which of about 6 zebra stamps to use :)
    The main image is from Cornish Heritage Farms and colored with copics, layers cut with Spellbinders dies and edged with a silver metallic pen.
  The Zebra butts is a stamp from Rubber Stamp Ave. - stamped repeatedly in rows and colored in rainbow colors with copics.
  The mama and baby zebra running is a very old stamp from Graphistamp - and I don't think you can get it anymore except maybe Ebay. I stamp that one in long rows and colored with copics also.
  I used rows of both the smaller stamps along the sides and on the top, along with some zebra paper and zebra ribbon - and the inside has zebra paper too with a bigger design.
  I did the memory book cover to match the box and the inside pages are in rainbow colors with a zebra stamp on one corner of each page.
  All for today - off to the craft room, now that I have warmed up from my morning walk - a brisk mid- 40 ish this am but with wind chill about mid-30's.....

Birthday Butts

Hallo,
Quick little prepost for you today, as I am at work.....
Did this card last week as a Birthday card for one of my DD's friends.
The main image is from Mo's Digital Pencil - colored with copics and cut out.
The Zebra butts stamp is left over from the cigar box I did earlier this week so my DD asked me to put in on her friedns Birthday card :) - I don't know who made the stamp - its about 3 or 4 years old to me, unmounted and before I kept track of that kinda stuff (preblog....). Colored with copics also.


All for today - Take Care

Zebra Butts

Hallo,
Well I didn't get much going on my 'big' project yet - did manage to pull out stamps and do some initial planning so maybe I will get started tomorrow.
I did however get another cigar box altered. I found this one at a thrift shop with the felt lining already in it - it is a Zebra print so I went with that.
The Zebra on the cover is from Stamps Happen - www.janlynn.com
I colored him with copics - it is accually part of the stamp.
The other pattern on the cover is a stamp from Outlines Rubber stamps - www.outlinesrubberstamp.com which is also colored with copics in a gray striped kinda thing to compliment the zebra.


The little postage style stamp of 'Zebra butts" is an unknown unmounted - If anyone knows who makes (or made it) please give me a shout.
I stamped many of these and colored them with copics and put them all around the edges on the outside of the box.
The third picture shows off the 'zebra butts' better :) and features a stamp of mama and baby zebra from CHF - www.cornishheritagefarms.com - also colored with copics.
And more rows of the outlines stamp.


All for today - should do a bit of picking up before dinner. My DD is doing the cooking tonight :) - I am very glad some days that she loves to cook. I also cruely forced my kiddos to do some extras housework today so I could get some errands done - mean 'ol Mom.
I should have done yard work instead of errands however as it looks like it might try and rain tomorrow -
ahhh well - plentty of housework still to catch up on....
All for tonight - Take Care
