Outlawz Sunday CAS with and Owl and Pure Innocence from My Favorite Things

This is my final week as a guest designer over at the Outlawz CAS (Clean and Simple) Sunday challenge. I really have enjoyed being part of a design team and hope that one day I will have the opportunity to do so again. This week's challenge was to use a button as the focal point of our card. The first thing that I thought of was an owl winking. Not finding one, I had to just draw one myself.

Then, not completely sure that my owl was drawn that well, I decided to use some button papers and this simple little girl from Pure Innocence by My Favorite Things and do a second one. I forgot to take a picture of the colors used on this one though :( The Outlawz team decided to post both :)

Caroling Snowmen from Meljens Designs

Aren't these caroling snowmen from Meljens designs just so much fun. Very happy and I want to just pinch their cheeks! It really, really puts me in the holiday mood :)
I thought I would enter this into the Meljens challenge as well as Friday's Color Challenge for the Outlawz, anything goes with a Christmas twist, this week.

Colors Used

Little Garden Sally from Art by Mi Ran and Mojo Monday #360

I just love this Little Garden Sally with the watering can from Art by Mi Ran and decided to combine her Anything Goes with the Mojo Monday challenge. I added an embossed tree to one side, a black die cut to the left, the ribbon is kind of see through with little flowers and the topper to the button I made myself with a Pearl Pen.

Outlawz CAS "HOWDY Partner" from Mo Manning

Continuing this month as a guest designer on the Outlawz CAS (Clean and Simple) group I enjoyed working on this weeks prompt, using one of the many ways we use to say hello. Since my husband is originally from Texas, I had to use this whimsical stamp from Mo Manning.

Outlaws Friday Color "Angel" by Pink Gem Designs

The Friday Color Challenge from the Outlawz was to use an angel. When my brother and I were little, my mom used to call us "angels" whenever she was annoyed with us. I didn't realize that until I was an adult. I always thought it had been a term of endearment HAHA! This Angel is from Pink Gem Designs.

Copic Colors Used

The background papers were made through a class I have been taking online called Stretch Your Stamps 2. I made lots of fun pieces of paper and have no idea how I did each one! I'm not great at keeping notes because I really think I will remember. She is Copic colored with Sakura gel pen added for the halo and stars. The edges of the circle cut angel have some Distress Inks in Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves.

Mojo Monday #359

Mojo Monday always has a new template for carders to try. I find it very difficult to follow a pattern (I'm awful at sewing because of that!) However, I gave it a try but then didn't know what to do with my little Pure Innocents from My Favorite Things, so I just put her on foam squares on top. Does it still count?
I used my airbrush to make the ribbon and the flower match and used my own, homemade melted beads for the dots.

Waving to You from the Outlawz and a Fun Folded Card

As an honored guest designer for the Outlawz challenge this week, I had a lot of fun playing with the word for this week, "wave." Those of you who follow my other blogs know I love finding a unique way around challenges whenever possible (my "Inchies" can be found on my TangleStreet blog), so this challenge allowed me to do that. It was suggested that we do the wave of a hand, a wand, people going up and down at a sports event, or any way the word wave could be used. It got me thinking about my mom getting me those stinky permanent waves (anyone else remember those?) when I was little. I had/have poker straight hair and I think she always wished for a cute little curly headed child. Thus, my entry was Permanent Wave:

And, then, just for fun, I made this quarter fold card that I found on Splitcoaststampers by Jana O'Brien that I thought would be fun to use when sending out Zentangles, photos, or a check to someone.
