Hello my fellow bloggers! We
had an awesome Easter and my brother-in-law joined Hubby and I for Easter dinner. I would like to start by saying that it was
fabulous which is due to the awesome cooking of my favorite Chef, Pioneer Woman,
Ree Drummond. My twice baked potatoes were a hit. I also made a 10 lb. baked Ham,
roasted asparagus and Ree’s Crème Brulee from this season’s Pioneer Woman on
Food Network. I love Crème Brulee but never had to nerve to make my own but, because
I love Ree and all her country living which includes her awesome recipes I had
to try it. With that I will just say that there were only happy faces at dinner last night. I hope you all had a
wonderful Holiday!
Our new challenge is up at Craft Your Passion and this week our theme is “Shaped Cards.” That means no Rectangular or Square cards are allowed. I can’t wait to see what you all create. So to get you inspired the CYP DT has lots of ideas; you can visit them here. So without further ado our sponsor this week is Kenny K.

For my shaped card this week I
used a gear/circle shape that I created in
Adobe Illustrator with a little inspiration from none other than Google search. There
are so many things you can search on. Just type in a question, phrase or word and it will find
a resource or an answer. I found a multitude of images with Steampunk inspiration for my card on
Google.
I used BoBunny Timepiece collection for
my DPs and Bazzill cardstock with a gear cut by hand (yes, I do that occasionally) and embossed with my Cuttlebug.
Then I used Brushed Corduroy to distress the embossing and make it really stand
out. I used the gear to create a circle easel card to display my gorgeous Val Ventura
digi stamp.
Wow, did she take forever to
complete! I love these stamps and they are fun to color but it took me 2 hours
to color her with planning and testing.
These are the Copics I used to
color Val Ventura, my new Steampunk baby!
I’m entering this project in
the following Challenges:
Thanks for letting me share my CYP
card with you this week!
