Hellooooooo! And welcome, once again, to my little corner of Blogland!! So . . . guess what? I made it to and from New York City in one piece! And I had THE BEST TIME hanging out with my sweet and silly DT sistah, Debbie! Here's a picture of the Statue of Liberty taken during our ferry trip to Ellis Island.
And here we are having dinner before going to the theater. I'm the one on your right in desperate need of a haircut! (Notice the bottles of wine behind us! All I can say is . . . delish!)
Okey dokey . . . now that I've had my little "getaway," I need to get back to "work" 'cuz it's time for another fun challenge at
Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog! This week's challenge theme is . . .
"Layering"
So here's the deal . . . my sister, Dee, asked me to make a card for a friend of hers who is former military and retiring from her job with the Veteran's Administration. Dee requested "fatigue" paper . . . and, as luck would have it, I actually had some!! Amaaaazing!! So, here's what I came up with . . .
For this week's card, I decided to make a "twisted easel card" with one of Mo Manning's little "soldiers"! This is "Soldier Girl" and is available
HERE in Mo's online store. This image is also available as "Soldier Boy"
HERE. Instead of paper piecing, I decided to color her uniform with Copics . . . and just used lots of colors dotted on here and there. I kinda like how it turned out! Here's a close-up . . .
And a bit of a side view . . .
