High Hopes..Anything Goes with Loungin' Lou

Welcome to a new challenge at High Hopes . It's an easy peasy one for ya.

ANYTHING GOES

 These old characters just crack me up. I'm using Loungin' Lou  and sentiment Caution 

So other details to my card... Papers are from Echo Park This & That. Wooden watch embellishment is from Prima and button from stash. As you can see this card is quite simple as it's for a man. I paper pieced the robe.Nice when you need to do an image in a hurry if you don't have time to color. I did it just cause I hadn't in a long time lol.

The inside can have any sentiment ie Birthday ,retirement etc..

Some close ups.......

Thanks for popping in !  

Graphicat Sketch 23-Just sitting here thinking of you

It's time for a new sketch at Graphicat Sketch Challenges

Today I combined a Sugar Nellie stamp with a sentiment from Graphicat Designs stamp set called Coffee Girl. Fitting for this image eh...they all fit this image but this one was the best. My papers are from Authentique. Flowers are from WOC and the chipboard spoon and cup are from Maya road.So cute huh?? 

Now onto Courtney's project.She did a smash page of herself and sister .

She also used the same sentiment as I. The sister quotes are stickers from Bo Bunny. Not sure the papers lol.

Just for You .....

Hi there ! Sorry it's been quiet.Between having the stomach flu for almost a week and then playing catch up.I tell ya it's hard to do.But I did make this card to show you. It took me a bit to color her up.I'm not completely happy with how it turned out but I think it was time to walk away from the image lol.

I don't know what it is about cameras and reds?? They just don't pick up the color right.It'd more of a dark peachy red. and those blossoms look orange and they are more on the red side lol. And the browns ,you don;t hardly notice them so now my ribbon stands out lol .Oh well.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenge
