Riley Peek - Shit Creek Survivor!

Riley and Company will be releasing 19 New Funny Bones sentiments Tonight Thursday May 23rd, 10:00 pm est. Please come by for the Release and Blog Hop that will start on the Riley and Company Blog! Leave comments along the way for your chance to win some awesome Blog Candy!

All New stamps will be available for purchase at Riley and Company at 10 pm est.

When I first saw this sentiment, it reminded me of a time years ago, when I was having complications following surgery and my Mom would say I had a shit cloud over me! So to remind myself that I am a survivor, I made myself a bookmark. I am writing this ahead of time, and when it posts I will be in having another surgery, yep I'm a little scared, but I'm going to keep this in my book to remind me it will all work out in the end!

I paired the new 'Shit Creek Survivior' sentiment with Fishing Riley, and coloured him with copics and cut him out. The tag itself was made with the Shapeabilities Page Maps. I covered that with dp then stamped the image onto it. The clouds were made with a die-namics and the top of a cupcake punch.

Please make sure to come back tonight for your chance to win some Blog Candy!

Have a Great Day!

MMTPT167, Fishing Riley Referee!

Hello, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT167! This weeks challenge was to make a masculine card, with vertical black & white stripes, or horizontal rainbow stripes, and a fishing theme...I think I got everything! lol

This weeks Destination Station is to Chip in Ohio, he is the husband of fellow teapotter Karen (Redbugdriver). It sounds like Chip has had terrible problems with his foot resulting in his latest surgery (partial amputation), requiring him to be away from home for the next 3-6 weeks at a rehabiliation center. Hopefully this happy mail will make the time fly by!

I used Fishing Riley and coloured him with copics.

I love how this turned out, but I can't take full credit, I was inspired by this awesome card from PickleTree!

MMTPT107, We're Going Fishing!

Well I'm in shock...2 challenges in a row posted on the day the challenges were posted! say What!

This is for Todays Teapot Tuesday MMTPT107, Gullable Gill Jumped Up The Hill And The Boys Swam Panicking After! I love Cindy's Titles and stories, what an imagination she has!

This is Fishing Riley, from Riley and Company, and I thought he fit the challenge and would be perfect for this weeks Destination Station!

I coloured Riley with copics, and you probably can't see it in the photo, but his fishing pole was made sparkly with a copic atyou spica in lavender.

This is an easel card, the base is elegant eggplant with some daffodil delight and dp from Cosmo Cricket. I used circle and inverted scallop nesties for the image and mats.

For the bottom edge on the inside I used a Fiskars edge punch, and a MS fish punch popped up.

Have a Great Day!
