Got Dirt?

This is for the sketch at Stuck On U Sketches and
The three ribbons for the challenge at Pratical Scrappers

The owl for the challenge at Frosted Designs.
The picture is of my oldest daughter many years ago after she came home from the annual fishing derby. What a mess she was but caught a fish! Now she is in her late twenties and she looks back on this picture and says it is one of her favorites. Hard to believe because I don't think I could get a picture of her holding a fish now. lol Thank you for looking and thank you to Stuck on U Sketches, Practical Scrappers and Frosted Designs for a very fun triple challenge!

Thank You Card



Quick card I did for our neighbors. We all share different fruit from our yards as they ripen.


doodle charms apples cut @ 2" on shadow and welded with a plantin schoolbook square for the slider part then apples cut on regular and middle one was pop dotted to slide over the edge of barrel. The barrel was cut twice @ 3-1/4"? on shadow then one regular. Thanks was from opposites attract shrunk down to 1/2" in design studio to fit. Used swiss dots and tiny mosaic embossing folders, Tim Holtz tea dye ink and misc brads and ribbon.
