It's a Boy!

Hello everyone...hope all is well with you!! My mother was in the hospital again this weekend so we are a little discombobbled  around here!! My grands were still here and then a friend from out of town came to visit  so needless to say...I haven't even thought about stamping, blogging, or the computer!! All is well with Mom...she is doing much better, the grands are safe at home and George, my friend, Patsy, and I went out to eat ...life is good!!!!! Anyway..... it's my turn again to host the TLC challenge on Splitcoast and I have a fun, trendy challenge for you today!!! We are going to make sun rays!!! You can use up your paper scraps and use any design you want....how fun is that !!!

To make the rays you:
1. Pick out your papers...you can use patterned paper or cardstock. You can also stamp or emboss it for a little texture.
2. Cut the strips at an angle, wider at one end and thinner or to a point at the other end.
3. Adhere the rays to the background cardstock or patterned paper...you can add a sun or use a stamp as the center image. I have seen the rays used as a flash for a camera and also as a background for a beach scene. I also saw the cutest card using white rays over a white sky with white snowflakes for a winter scene.
4. You can even use sun ray dies if you have them
5. Be creative and have fun!!!

My card features the cute little airplane stamp from Rubbernecker and the sentiment was created with a hand drawn banner and sentiment stamps from Rubbernecker. Various Bo Bunny and My Minds Eye papers were used for the rays, sun, and hills. Sewing was done around the hills and sun and the background is Bashful Blue card stock. The Twinery twine and a button finish it off.

I have a few pictures of our new baby, Chestnut. She is a 15 month old Quarter Horse that we adopted a week ago. She is so sweet and gentle and our Sundance has taken over as her Mom!!! Midnight won't have anything to do with her...Midnight is the dominate horse so she is being a bit testy about the new girl on the block!!!

Thanks for stopping by today...have a good one!!!!
