Today I am sharing 2 projects with you. The first project was one I did with Jordan and was his homework assignment for last week. Their task was to disguise their turkey so he would be spared from being Thursday's entree! The concept was totally Jordan's idea- he wanted his turkey to be a rock star. First grade and already into the rock star thing...hehe. He knew he wanted to use my guitar stamp and we used my cricut for the clothing.
Before the transformation: After transformation: Tommy Tunes the Turkey
Jordan was thrilled with the outcome- the dude looks so cool. Don't you just love the do-rag, haha.
Ok on to my card. Todays card is for Sunshine Monday where we feature Sunshine & Giggles stamps. Today I used A Visit From Santa stamp. I followed the sketch challenge over at
Midnight Madness. They provided a great sketch and also requested that this weeks card be a Christmas card so this challenge fit my image perfectly. I also had a little help from Jordan on my card. He's always asking if he can help when I'm making a card and the usual response is an adament NO! For this card I actually asked him if he wanted to help. I wanted this card to have a child-like and vintage look.
My dp is from My Minds Eye Signature Christmas line and already had a distressed look. I sewed around the edges and distressed them with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.
For my stamped image I used versa mark and embossed with chestnut embossing powder by American Crafts. Jordan wrote the letter to Santa and I sponged with my distress ink. I used my nestie label 4 for the sentiment, which was computer generated and 2 gemstone brads, ribbon, and my little stocking charm that I found in my stash.
This will be Nana & Papa's card from Jordan this year.
