EBTKS sketch challenge #13

The girls at EBTKS had a fun challenge so here is my first ever challenge post. I'm new to this so please be patient :)

My stamp is from an old (retired) Stampin Up! set I have called "Best of Cluck". I stamped the image twice then watercolored the rooster on one image and the egg on the other. I also used crystal effects on the egg to make it shine. I used Starzon in timer brown on my "woodgrain" background stamp for the card base. I also embossed it so it feels like real wood. The base color is SU Close to Cocoa. I mounted the image on SU Chocolate Chip and then on SU Real Red papers. I then used some hemp twine and a corduroy button to finish it off. I really enjoyed making this card. What do you think?

April fools

As an April fools joke I made my family a TV dinner ( out of cupcakes ). We all had a good laugh and the cupcakes were really good!

Tulip time

Steve and I took the girls to the tulip gardens on opening day. They were sooooo beautiful (this tulips were very pretty too!)

Well hello friends and family. I finally did it, I have created a blog. I have been very inspired by my friend Jen to do this. She has a beautiful blog http://www.jenshearsdesigns.com/ . Go check it out. She has some really great cards and creative ideas she has shared. Let me know what you think.
