Built Tough

Mornin' y'all!  I am happy to report that I finished up my batch of scrapbook pages yesterday, so hopefully today I'll get them photographed for future blog posts and I can start getting some things ready for the move.  I also framed several pieces of artwork, which I've been meaning to do for a long time (cheap Michael's frames, but better than nothing).  I need to sit down and make a list of the things I need to do before next Monday.

In the meantime, you *know* I'm sneaking in as much craft room time as I can manage, so here's a card for today:


I tried mighty hard to resist Rhino Ready when it was introduced as an Online Exclusive, and then my friend Krissy called my kid Rhino Ryan which is the most fitting sobriquet ever and then I had to have it.  Sadly for me the dies were already sold out but I don't mind doing some fussy cutting.  Anywha, I made this for the current Paper Players challenge:


And the new-to-me Creative Colour Challenge:


I used Blackberry Bliss to stamp my rhino and his bird friend as well as the sentiment, the card base and grass are Soft Sea Foam, and I used Boho Blue to color in the rhino.  I have colored in the rhinos from this stamp set in several different colors just because it's fun.

Anyway, it's about time to get Ryan slathered up with sunscreen and head out the door for soccer camp.  And then I'm going to start that to-do list and see what I can get done before he gets done with camp at noon.  Cheers, y'all!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Rhino Ready
Ink:  Blackberry Bliss, Soft Sea Foam, Stampin' Blends in Boho Blue, Blackberry Bliss, Gray Granite
Paper:  Soft Sea Foam, Thick Basic White
