About Me

My photo
I would classify myself as an artist. It took me a while to finally accept that monicker, but that's what I am; AN ARTIST!!! I have a wonderful hubs that supports my "talents" in most all avenues, except maybe when the credit card bill comes in the mail...LOL And I have 4 great kids and 5 beautiful grandchildren that I love to pieces. Come on by and sit a spell and "STAMP 'TIL YA CRAMP!!! & "CROP 'TIL YA DROP!!!"

Diet.....?????.....what a dirty word!!!!!

Now this is the type of diet I can handle....
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Isn't that the cutest pig meat you have ever seen.
Its a stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps!
                                  (click ^ there to purchase this one)
He's called Wheely pig....and its was designed by Mary Vogel Lozinak.
She has designed a lot of stamps for VLVS...so be sure to check out her
other designs while you're there.

A little bit about how I created this cutieeee..
I stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with 
color pencils and blended with OMS and a paper stump.
The saying was computer generated.  I used a new pennant punch from Creative Memories to create the border at the top.
An 'art deco' embossing folder was used on the orange-y layer.
Bakers twine was used for the tightrope.

I tried to create a "Circus Big Top" feel.


Here's a close up of the glitter gel pen I used for the wheel.

What a great card, Crystal. Love the pig, too. It does have a bit of a circus big top feel with the pennants across the top. The glitter pen adds a lot, too. TFS.
