Here's my project 
Lawn Fawn has some fantastic interactive
die cuts and with their wonderful choice
of stamps I always have fun creating. For
this card I used Pull 'n Pop Tab (tutorial). LF always
has excellent tutorials for all their stuff and
they are so very helpful. The little raccoon
is from Holiday Party Animal and all other
stamps and dies are from Sunny Skies. I 
followed the tutorial and created my own
scene. I used Grassy Hillside add-on to make
a background for my critters. The "pull" tab
makes the kite pop up and out! Great touch!
All images were colored with Copics.

PIP Challenge 2442

  A brand new challenge over at PIP Challenges.
This week's sponsor is SheepSki Designs
 Without our amazing sponsors the 
challenges wouldn't happen. 
SheepSki Designs is offering the 
random winner THREE DIGIS!!
The PIP Design Team has some awesome
inspiration. Be sure to visit each  
blog for additional inspiration!!
Here's my card...
I printed out the Toucan image and cut it
out. Copics were used to color the image.
I added some white dots to the leaves and 
flower, and the eye. I left space on the lower
right so I can add a sentiment if, or when, 
I may need one. I raised the colored image
with mounting tape to finish.

awesome stuff! I know I did! lol!

Sorry to say that I am a slacker this week.
😕
My excuse is Grandson...
I wanted to make my card but during the
week I had numerous appointments and
hoped to work on cards over the weekend,
but after 2 days with my darling boy, I 
was bushed!! AND, achy. BUT, I do
hope you all go and checkout 
They have lots of fun there. I have some 
great die cuts and stamps I'm eager
to create with. I'll start making something
soon so I am ready for their next sponsorship!

sure to go shopping!!
Here's my card...  
I printed out my lovely image and cut it
out. Then I colored it with my Copic markers
This fun image from  Pattie's Creations 
was ideal for a friend of mine when we are
both in FL! Apparently, this image was 
after we ate some delicious seafood! OR,
maybe the yummy Creme Brulee. I stamped
a sentiment to the perfect background 
cardstock I had. I raised the girls up with
mounting tape. I could use some of that
tape for random parts of my body too! LOL!
