Bicycle Works

This is the one of the cards that I made for Lianna's Rainbow swap that she is hosting on SCS.  We each made 10 cards of the same color and this one is obviously black--though not a rainbow color!  I have had this stamp for a long time, but I think this is the first time it has been inked up!

My second card for this swap will be posted on Tuesday if you want to check it out!

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Lianna and the others swappers like my card!

Mystery Revealed

This card is for a Mystery Swap on SCS. A group of us are doing a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same mystery image, sent to us by the hostess. This swap was created by Forest Ranger—Jeanette and we are now in our third round!  Tracie is the hostess this month and she sent us this sweet image and the matching sentiment.  She will swap the cards and send everyone the next image, which will be provided by Kelly.  We then get to do it all again!

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Tracie and the others like my card.

Dueling Darlings go to the Dogs!

If you are looking for my {PIN}Spirational Challenge or TCCCB Post , please scroll down. It is another three post day!

It is the 15^th of the month and that means we get to show off a new Dueling Darlings challenge. For the March Challenge, Shelly and Carol are the Darlings who decided on the theme.  Shelly is a Darling and Carol is a Diva, my team!

The theme or challenge they picked is "For the Dogs".  This is what Carol wrote for the Divas:  This month rather than going with the traditional St Patrick's Day holiday/theme, we searched the weird holidays for March. On the 10-13 it is Crufts--the worlds largest dog show and on the 23rd is National Puppy day.....thus leading for the theme "for the dogs". I hope you are liking your kits....as an extra bonus question....if you would like to share. Did you have a pet growing up...if so what kind and name.

Here is the inside of my card:

I did have a few dogs growing up as we lived on a farm. We typically had collies and I still love them today.  We do not have any dogs now, but we do dog sit for a couple of friends a few times a year--and love it!  I am also on the Humane Society Board and spend time with many shelter animals. 

I hope Carol and the other Darlings enjoy my card.
