The Cow Jumped Over the Fence

Moooo!!!!   Frances, our June CCEE Stampers hostess, says it's time to pull out those cow images and join the CCEE Stampers in our cow challenge this week.  This is a new cow image released by Rubbernecker that I just received a couple days ago, so it was very timely for our challenge this week.  He's such a happy cow running in the green grass and trying to jump over the fence.  He's truly having an "udderly" great time!

The fence image is from Rubbernecker's Kittie Kits Chicken Coop Scene and the grass is from Kittie Kits Cause a Scene.  The scene is mostly water colored except for the black crushed velvet I used on the cow's black spots and pink crushed velvet on the inside of its ears.  Here's a closer view, but it's still kind of hard to see the crushed velvet.

Please visit our CCEE Stampers blog to check out what Tosha, Joanne, Shirley, Cindy and Frances came up with, as well as to get the challenge details for joining us!

Have a moooooo-velous day!

Life is Caaaa-rrraaaazy!

Man, oh, man!  Where do the days go?  They just fly by anymore.  I haven't had time to keep my blog updated this past week, so I thought I'd share a few projects I've made but didn't get uploaded starting with the most recent and working back to last Friday.

Tuesday of this week, was Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday and she showcased the cutest crossword puzzle teapot.  I had purchased this birdhouse at one of my local hobby stores quite some time ago and decided it would be perfect for altering for this challenge!  After I painted it with white acrylic paint, I covered it with designer siding using a crossword puzzle  I copied out of my local newspaper.  I used SU's largest oval punch and Cuttlebug embossing folder to create my rooftop.  The little flowers and "for you" sentiment are SU rub-ons.  The bird is a QuickKutz die.

On Sunday, my friend Cathy (aka Mutnik) and fellow Rubbernecker DT member, was chosen as the Featured Stamper on SCS!  Here's the cute I Smell Chocolate card of Cathy's that I cased, obviously changing mine to cows in Cathy's honor of her love of cows.  She is one mega-talented artist!  The cows are SU's Very Punny, and my grass and flowers were created with my Kittie Kits Cause a Scene by Rubbernecker.

MarilynPrestonn was Queen for the Day on SCS.  I cased her adorable bee card changing mine to these hilarious fishies by Rubbernecker.  I colored them with my Twinkling H20s and gave them googlie eyes.

For those of you who know me, and Sheri (ksnurse) obviously does, you know I love penguins!  I just think they are such cute little creatures and just watching them walk their goofy walk makes me giggle.  Sheri sent me these darling penguins she created with her Cricut for my birthday this year.  Stef, over at SCS, had us go to the cutestfood.com website for the Inspiration Challenge on Saturday and I chose the penguin egg for my inspiration piece.

Don't forget that today is the last day of the sale going on over at Rubbernecker (see my post below).  You have until midnight (EST) to place your order!

That's it for now as I'm off to a hair appointment, a little shopping, and then plan to stamp this evening!  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when I'll have my weekly CCEE challenge card posted!

Happy Hump Day!!
