Walken in a Winter Wonderland, Shakey Head Card

Happy Holidays! Mine are crazy! It's lots of fun, but the fun and preparing for fun just never ends. I can barley keep up with The Crafty Pad. Have you seen our latest challenge? It's "Send Someone A Smile". (please no Christmas or Birthday)

This is one of my joke cards. I like to do a silly one here and there. On an earlier post I did one of these with the phrase "Walken On Sunshine".

This is 80% computer done. The hardest part was the research to locate my best background, head shot and jacket choices. I just cut out the full card and score. Cut out the jacket and Christopher's head. Create a spring and attach to the head and use double sided tape under his elbows to wrists. Tape the spring low under where the jacket will go. Squeeze the image lightly to secure to the card creating a slight raised bump over the spring. Adjust spring behind the jacket neck. Bingo, goofy card to make someone smile.

I gave one of these to friend last year. She placed it on the hall table and when anyone passed by the breeze caused the head to shake. Great goofy fun! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and Happy Mother Spirit to all!

This silly card is entered is these card challenges...if I could find one that fits:)

Sing a Song of Christmas, #150 with The Crafty Pad. Free Santa Label Digi too!

Howdy! and Happy Holidays! It's a new challenge with The Crafty Pad. Challenge #150 is "use at least three punches". We offer a prize too! This week we are sponsored by Crafty Emma's and you could win a Crafty Emma's Store £10 voucher to spend in shopping. While you are here visit The Lavender Kitties for a FREE Santa Label digi. Click on the Lavender Kitties Free Stuff button.

My card is counting a cricut as one of the punches and Marvy helped me with the other two. I followed "Case Study" for the layout and I've taken my colors from "Pals Paper Arts". I really missed playing challenges with these folks.

I've used Debbie's digi stamp "Rudolph and Robin" this week (available at The Crafty Pad Design Store) and played with it on a graphics program (Corel). I broke up the image to use the characters independent of each other. I found a nice watermark image of a homey snow scene and placed the digi images "in the snow". With this I made a card liner and punched two holes (through the spine) and ran ribbon through to secure. I also took little Robin and made a little glittered covered medallion stamp out of him for the front of my card. The lace is machine sewn and the bow is handmade. So much fun making this card. I barely got it submitted in time for The Crafty Pad DT group. But I so wanted to play Case Study and Pals Paper Arts.

I hope you are inspired to play our challenge at The Crafty Pad. Drop by and see our fun at play. Merry Christmas!
