This Is How I Roll - Giddy Up

I live in the country - WAY out in the country as my sister would say.  Its funny though, when anybody asks me where I live I always say "just outside of Ottawa" which in the whole scheme of things isn't wrong ... if your "just" is a 50 minute drive!  Anyway, these two collections from Carta Bella really struck my fancy the moment I saw them - Giddy Up boy and Giddy Up girl.  I haven't even opened the girl package yet, but I simply LOVE the boy one already. 

My son was playing with an old tire we had in the back yard, my husband hung it up as a tire swing, but prior to that our little man found it so much fun to roll it up the hill, then down the hill, up the hill, then back down.  I don't usually do multiple photos, but I had so many similar photos for this memory that I thought I would put them together.

Guest designer for Great Impressions!

Finally I can spill the beans, a few months ago I was asked to be a guest designer for Great Impressions stamp company.  I had applied for their design team but did not get selected.  But was so over the moon excited when asked to be a guest designer. I did up two cards.  Both coloured with Copic markers.  Please stop by their blog and see what others have been creating with these stamps!   

Hang In There
For my first card I used the Ride Em' Cowboy (G470) stamp - and paired it with Carta Bella's Giddy Up collection - I simply love how this paper perfectly compliments this stamp.  I used a sentiment from a totally different stamp collection "Hang In There"

 

 Just The Two Of Us



For my second card I loved this walking away image of this couple called Forever (G451) , I can envision them walking through a meadow gazing at all the wild flowers and simply enjoying life.  I tried to keep the colours light in this as I knew I wanted to use Prima's Lyric collection for this.  The sentiment was perfect for this, again from a Stamp Of The Month from previous months.

 

 

Well folks, there you have it, I hope you enjoyed looking at my creations as much as I enjoyed making them - and I sure did enjoy making them. If you want to see these cards in person be sure to pop into Auntie Em's Scrapbooking in Cornwall.
