Ready, Set, Go!


Today is the day AFTER the third Wednesday of the month and this is my Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers--Kelly, Jeanette and me--are back with another challenge for July, our 39th month!  That means we are into our 4th year--YAY!



Jeanette provided the challenge for July: We are celebrating Jeanette's dad’s 90th birthday.  This is what she wrote:

My dad's birthday is in July. He was born July 27, 1930. The Ready Set Go theme for July will require a little research. My dad will be celebrating a milestone birthday later this month so in honor of him I want you to find some fact about the year he was born (1930) and use it as inspiration for your card. Easy peasy, right?

 

Need a jump start? Here are a few things I learned about 1930 (BUT you are not limited to these ideas!)…The Mickey Mouse comic strip made its first appearance on January 13, 1930..


Ready? Set? Go!

I did read all of the remaining dates and items that Jeanette listed, but I went right back to the first one--Mickey Mouse!  I have a few very old stamps with Mickey and Minnie, along with some fun patterned paper and of course, a mouse ears cap brad!

I picked a fun stamp from Rubber Stampede called Mickey Presents--I love this iconic and traditional look of Mickey!  I colored Mickey with my Copic Sketch Markers and layered with the same colorful cardstock as I used for the stamp. The patterned paper is from EK Success called Disney-Mickey Icon Outlines. The sentiment is from the Short & Sweet stamp set by Stampin' Up.  The mouse ear hat brads is the final touch along with some yellow baker's twine and black nail heads.


It sure was a fun card to make and I hope the Jeanette thinks I honored her dad.

Here is the inside of my card:


Please be sure to check out the other Ready, Set, Go cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card. Kelly is up for the next theme, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on the 3rd Wednesday in August!

Hat-Bee Birthday



This is the card for the 31st round of the Unidentified Image swap on SCS.  It is a group of ladies who are a part of a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The unidentified part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--that is today!   The image for this round was provided by me.  I will swap the cards and include the next image that Darlene, our next hostess in their return envie.  And then we get to do it all again--for round #32--in June!

Yes, I did sent a Whipper Snapper Design image that just makes me giggle.  There have been many colors used on the hats on the cards that I have received--that is one of the things that makes this swap so fun!

I used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Clear Glitter Pen on his nose and the wings, to make them glimmer a bit.


Here is the inside of my card:


If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations today or in the next few days.  I hope everyone in the swap liked my image and that you and like my card!
