Ike's World Challenges August Mid-Way Post!

Is anyone else pinning for fall weather?  At my age I hate to rush the seasons but this summer heat has me beat!  Here we are at the mid-way point of Ike's World Challenges #147 Anything Goes with an option of Animals!  So to match the heat I am taking a safari trek to watch some giraffes!   These are from the Animal Silhouette Set by Ike's Art.  Ike is having to deal with a change in the Zibbett platform so we temporarily cannot link up to the images.  We hope the platform will be back operational soon!

I made the super cute giraffes a beautiful sunset sky with Distress Oxide Sprays and some Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays.  The tree and leaves at the bottom are freebies from a papercrafting magazine.  I fussy cut the animals and the tree inking them with Distress Inks before gluing the tree to the background paper and using foam tape for the animals.  The sentiment is a stamp included in another papercrafting magazing layered on some patterned paper.  I hope you enjoyed our journey and can feel the wind sweeping across the grasses!  But now it is time for you to grab some crafty goodies and join in the challenge for August!  It beats cutting the grass, weeding the garden, any of those awfully hot and sweaty jobs outside!  Hope to visit your blog after you join the linky party at Ike's World Challenges!

 

Ike’s World Challenges Midway April Post😊

 I don’t know about you all but life needs to slow down just a smidge so I can catch up!  My azaleas and wisteria have bloomed and been washed away before I could even get more than a quick pic of them!  Oh well,  it is mid-April and time for me to show you the cutest dang image in the world by Ike’s Art 🥰.  This set is Gnome’s Beach Set!  This took me back to my 12 year old self and grabbing these little suckers at the fair!  I got this set last November? maybe, and although I have NOT wanted to rush our cooler weather away, I was eager to use this one!  So here they are all dressed up (well, you know what I mean!) and ready for Ike's World Challenges #143 Springtime/ Anything Goes!

Started out all markers until sooo many of the Spectrum Noirs were dried up so fast track to acrylics for most all of the background and markers for the gnomies.  The sentiment is from Park Lane at Joann’s  and I just snagged it today for these guys spring break photo!

Now come on and get busy creating some fun makes for the challenge this month!  We are on challenge number 143 Anything Goes/ Springtime!  I skipped right to summer cause it is hot as blazes here!💥

As I was typing away at this I realized my project can be Anything Goes or Sringtime! (the spring break photo part cleared that up in my head)   I know my mind is a terrifying place to be most of the time!  See ya soon!
