DUSTIN PIKE SPACESHIP CARD!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

First I would like to welcome my new followers, Jojo, Allison and of course my DT friend over at Dustin's place Domi!!! Thanks so much for joining my blog! Thank you also to all my followers and non followers who so kindly leave me the wonderful comments each day....I love to read what you have to say, and all your kind words are sooooo appreciated! Thank you all!

Well as it's Wednesday, I figured I would post a little Dustin Pike image......he has some cool images coming out tomorrow and the DT have had some fun creating with them. This image is an older one, but still on the same lines as the new releases! I will post the new ones tomorrow! The freebie today is the Moon background which is fabulous to color and put together with Dustin's space dragon!!! I feel like a child when I color these images and kind of get lost for a while!!! Such fun!

This card is a springy card that I have seen some people make before, I had wanted to give it a try and so the lovely Betty Benton over at Stamptv was nice enough to give me the tutorial info so I could give it a try! So now it's my turn to pass the info on to you lovely cyber friends.... just click on the "Springy card" words that are underlined and that will take you through to the tutorial. These are super easy to make but are really cute when they are done. The little space alien bounces when the card is moved.....so cute.

I colored this one in copics (my colors are limited as I only have a few of them!!), then I glazed over his eyes and around the yellow part of his space ship to give it a little shine. The dp is from DCWV All About Boys stack, and I mounted the little alien ontop of the dp using pop dots. The wording is typed on the computer and also mounted with pop dots. Let me know what you think!

DUSTIN PIKE CARDS!

Good morning everyone!!

Wow, it seems forever since I entered a post!!! I've been MIA since I came back from vacation.....been trying to catch up with things and not doing such a good job of it. Vacation went a little different than planned....after riding out a storm we got the boat stuck in tooooo shallow water....hit a metal pipe and needed to be towed into a marina and spent the week there! Could have been much worse than it was coz the marina had everything we needed...electrical hookup, hot showers, laundry facilities, pool and private beach. So we ended up making the most of a not so good start, then had to wait for my brother in law to bring our truck and trailer down to the Keys to pick the wounded boat up!!! Now we need to get the propeller and housing fixed! As our fellow boaters let us know......the bigger the boat the bigger the problems!!!

On Thursday we finally got our air conditioner fixed.....whooo hooo!! so now we can sleep with comfort once more.

OK enough of that stuff, onto the cards. I haven't given any credit over the last few weeks to Dustin Pike's fabulous creations, so today it's his day! I love this Wednesday Freebie design and really enjoyed making this card. The card sentiment on the inside says "You can always count on me!!!"

I colored the bird in copics and prismacolor pencils, glazed over his beak and claws with paper glaze. I just couldn't resist turning one of the birds upside down....coz that's how I feel since I've been back home!!!! Anyway, let me know how you like him!

Don't forget to check the other design teams creations and Dustin's blog too!
