52 Questions Week #21 Challenge:
Create a project featuring your favorite Cartoon!

I called my sister and we talked about all the cartoons we loved as children.  It was a great time of remembrance.   Beverly was the real cartoon expert.  She remembered 'Fractured Fairy Tales', 'Dudley Doright', 'Rocky and Bullwinkle', 'Mr. Peabody', and many others.  My parents would join us some Saturday's for the fun.  There favorites were 'Wylie Coyote and the Roadrunner' (poor Wylie just couldn't catch the Roadrunner) and Bugs Bunny and Friends.  I chose to depict "The Flintstones".  So my tag is of 'Dino'.  Did you know that 'Dino' was the first purple dinosaur ... being prehistoric he predated 'Barney.'   Well on to my tag:

52 Questions Week # 20 Challenge:
Create a tag/project featuring BUGS and CRAWLIES!

I had a great time with this week's theme: 'Bugs and Crawlies.' There are lots of crawlies I DO NOT like to think about (snakes, worms and grubs). I would be a gardener if I KNEW that I would not run into 'Crawlies.' Some of my favorite 'Bugs and Crawlies' are ladybugs, butterflies, caterpillars and lightning bugs. I only really like caterpillars because they turn into butterflies. Won't you come join us this week and make your favorite 'Bugs and Crawlies' on a tag or a mini album page? Each week we have a new theme for our tags and mini album pages (see guidelines below). Here are my 'Bugs and Crawlies' for this week:

Tag base: ELEGANT EDGES, page 46, cut @ 4-1/2" using the Oblong-s and Shadow-s features.
Dirt and Sign: WALK IN MY GARDEN, page 105, ; and cut @ 3-1/2".
Ladybugs: WALK IN MY GARDEN, page 118, and cut @ 3/4".
Butterfly: STRAIGHT FROM THE NEST, page 33 @ 1-3/4" using shift and Layer/Shadow feature.
Materials used were:
Cardstock (The Paper Company)
Patterned Cardstock (The Spring Fling Summer Days Combo Stack – DCWV)
Inks: Dark Brown Fluid Chalk (Colorbox)
Pure Red Writer and Chocolate Brown Writer (EK Success)
