Curt's Other Options

Chrystal would like to encourage Curt to be a snowboarding superstar. It is nowhere near as dangerous as a stunt cow, you know, so long as you don't fall down.

Here she is in her glory, freestyling down the mountain. The cool wind in her feathers, snow swirling behind her. And look at the crowd; they are just eating this up. You cannot even see their faces for all of the camera flashes. Ahh, this is the life, the excitement, the attention, the adoration of the fans, the MONEY!

If however, Curt cannot make it as a snowboarding king, Chrystal would like him to know she is willing to take him on as her pool boy, so long as the thong fits.Cow blinking Pictures, Images and Photos

You guessed it; it is Teapot Tuesday again. (Yes, I am aware that today is Wednesday). Check out Mothermark's blog for the complete background story. Even if you do not want to participate, you have to go see her teapots - She has the most incredible collection!

As for the card deets... Image is Penny Black (like you did not see that coming), and is colored with Prismacolor markers. Her hat is embellished with Liquid Applique, and the snow, both underneath the board and that which is flying is painted with Twinkling H2Os. The letters are punched from one stamp that has the complete alphabet (SU), which were then sponged with some Green Galore (also SU) to soften the harsh white. The sparkly paper is from DCWV (Glitter Mat Stack) and the trees were a gift from a friend; I don't know by whom, sorry.All this comes together thanks to SCS Sketch Challenge #237.

Next week another teapot and another story. Right now the water is boiling - gotta run...

Classical Hedgie

So a few posts back I mentioned that Princess A is now a member of the elite Silver Strings. She plays the violin, by the way, I don't know if I have mentioned that.

I liked the congratulatory card I had made for her so much, I decided to use it for Cheryl G's "I've Got the Music in Me" swap on SplitCoastStampers. Princess A's does not have the little heart brad, but otherwise they are identical. (In fact, I have been thinking of adding one to hers as I think it gives a little something something)

All other cardstock is SU, except for the dp which is, as usual, unknown. The white panel is embossed using the music embossing folder through my Cuttlebug. Hedgie is from Penny Black and is colored using my prismacolor markers. (Another thank you shout out to Main Squeeze!!)

Congrats again to Princess A; we are all so very proud of you!
