Special Delivery

I just love this image. Helene at Alota Rubber Stamps has been really adding some fabulous images. You know what I love most about her... ok one of the things I love most cuz she is just the sweetest person you would ever want to meet. She listens to her customers. You need a certain image... she really tries to go out and add that image to her enormous catalog of images. Example... furniture for our Tilda's and friends ..done - more backgrounds for scene's... done - romantic valentine ... done - DONKEY'S... done! And wait until you see the brand new wagon set coming out! Oh my I love this set, can't wait to ink it all up! I see so many possibilities with it.

This card is made with one of Helene's old favorites re-done and added to the Internet! And I love it! So fun to color! The ARK, don't you love it. It even has two donkeys on it!!!! Now this is a larger image, so planning the card doesn't take much cuz there isn't a lot of room to play with. I colored with my Copic's and used my air compressor to do the sky, grass and water. Man I need some practice with this thing. I don't get even smooth mist like it says. I get more spirts and nothing then big spirt... I need help!!! Any words of wisdom for anyone that uses the Copic system.

Ok back to the card. Now as soon as I saw the image I knew I wanted to use the JoAnn's Debbie Mum Noah's Ark papers stack with it. Love these papers, all of the animals sparkle! I used a blue card stock for base, one of the simpler papers for the back ground, matted the animal print and the image with the same blue and zig-zag stitched everything... just love that!

I found this fun piece of fringe ribbon in my stash and used it at the bottom of the card. The arrow photo holder is from 7-gypsies, with a Making Memories mini button brad. My sentiment Special Delivery is from Papertrey Ink and is punched with the Stampin Up Window Word punch.

I had a few pieces of scraps and decided to not waste a thing, so I used them to decorate the inside just a bit.

Feel so good to get back into the groove of making cards again. And having some new images don't hurt right?

Well better get going... I haven't said anything here before... but I started the Wii Fit on December 26th (Christmas Gift LOL) ... yep it is what the 7th of January and I still even thru being sick, have done it every day. Some days more than others but I have done it every day! I hope this will actually help shed some very unwanted and unhealthy pounds. So gotta go and do my time before I will allow myself some blog surfing.. that is my reward!

Hope you have some fun planned for the day!
