Everyone needs a hero.

Well it's another weekend. I'm hoping to get some scrapping done today. I have a scrapbook retreat coming up next month that I am hosting for 10 ladies so I need to get a move on and get some info out to them.

But before I get started on that, I thought I would share a quick little card using a svg file from Lisa over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  She has some adorable files and digital paper to chose from.

I like to have cards on hand that I can grab when the need arises, and I think this would be a great thank you card for the right person some day. These super hero files of Lisa's are so cute!

The red pattern paper is also from Lisa's shop. I had this blue vinyl  paper in my scrap box from another project years ago and finally found a place to use it. Makes his super hero suit look a little shiny and I like the texture it adds too.

Have a great Saturday.

Here's how I did it...

A2 card base in white card stock
Pattern Paper and blue mat printed using Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Summer Brights digi paper
Mat sized and cut using my Cameo
Super hero cut at 3.75"
Sentiment from My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings
Twine from Twinery
Cuttlebug embossing folder Seeing Spots
Button from my stash

SKdigis Blog Challenge Inauguration Blog Hop

Welcome to the SKdigis Blog Challenge Inauguration Blog Hop!

I am warning you...this is a long post but I have so much to share with you today. So hang with me.

SKdigis and the wonderful Design Team invite you to join us as we kick off this new challenge blog with some inspiration using the cute and creative SKdigis images.
If you've come from visiting Sonia, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to join in the fun during our Challenge Inauguration Blog Hop, click HERE.
Each designer in the hop line up is featuring a project using one of the many digi designs you can find in the SKdigis online store, even some freebies!

I decided to create a fun wobble card using two images from SKdigis online store, this cute mouse and the wheel of cheese. 

the mouse is on a wobble.

I used my Cameo to color the mouse and cheese and then cut them out.  The pattern papers are all scraps left over from some 6x6 paper packs. I finished it off with some black twine from the Twinery. The sentiment is also printed and cut from my cameo. Finally, my little mouse is mounted on a wobble so he wiggles..a bit tipsy from all that wine I suspect, LOL.

Blog Candy Alert!!!
Oh my goodness, so many chances to win during this hop. Where to begin! Each design team member in the blog hop line up is giving away a $6 gift certificate to SKdigis online store- that's 14 chances to win!! 

For a chance to win my SKdigis gift certificate:

• leave me a comment here letting me know what you think about my little mouse. 

On September 7th, I will pick one winner who will receive my $6 gift certificate to the SKdigis online store. Yeah!!
