SUPER BIRD RACE CAR NOW AVAILABLE!

VALLEYSUNSHINE@HOTMAIL.COM

We are breaking with our tradition of releasing our images at 7PM Central Time on Saturday this week...our final freebie week. Super Bird Race Car is now available upon request. Why are we releasing the image early?? Because it's supposed to be a beautiful summer day tomorrow and we plan to spend the day in our backyard having a bit of a "Staycation" in our pool...getting wet and enjoying some much needed R & R! Pop us an e-mail and we will begin answering the requests this evening.

We will attempt to keep your wait-time for the your new image very short! We honestly cannot wait to see what wonderful cards and projects you create! Thanks for stopping by and your wonderful support of Sunshine's Stamps!

MMSC10 FEATURING MALCOLM MILK TRUCK

MMSC 10 - THE MILKY WAY

I made this card today with the current Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 10! I really like this sketch. It wasn't as difficult as some of the MMSC sketches but a fun one, none the less.

I wanted to make a decidedly 'country' looking card using the current sketch. I had these fabric tags lying around and they were just screaming to be used. It just happened that I had coloured this image of Malcolm with gingham on his mud flaps so the tags tied right into my "theme".



These right and left angle shots allow you to see a little more detail. I have used rhinestones for the cab lights and the headlights. The gingham ribbon was just perfect for the card. The Embossed Zig Zag Border Punch by Martha Stewart adds a really cool country look to the card too. I paper pieced Malcolm Milk Truck and then adhered him to a piece of white card stock and cut that out too. That fine line of white really makes Malcolm pop off the card, don't you think??

I kept the inside of this one simple for a couple of reasons...one was that I hadn't used multiple card stocks on this one - just a piece of layering weight paper that had been run through the Cuttlebug. The other reason was much more practical...I was tired and the men working on our basement were making so much noise under my office floor I could no longer concentrate!

That concludes my creativity for the day! Hope you found something to enjoy and maybe discovered a smidgen of inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!!

MALCOLM MILK TRUCK - HERD IT WAS...

Malcolm Milk Truck

Today was the day the "destruction crew" arrived to our basement...or what used to be our basement. They arrived at 10AM and left at 5:30PM - the intervening hours were exhausting! The never ending banging, crashing, stinky air and loud voices of 5 human wrecking balls turned our normally quiet, serene household into an exhausting mix of noises, smells and people!! In the midst of all that, I made two cards....maybe I shouldn't have...but by hook or by crook I am posting them here for you to take a look at.

Sunshine's Stampers have been busy uploading as well and I will post where to find their lovely creations as soon as I find them all myself....I tell you, this flood has thrown my whole schedule outta whack! If in doubt, click on the links to my DT's blogs on my sidebar and hop on over to their blogs to see they have posted recently.

OK - enough is enough. Here is the first card I made this afternoon. I hope you like it!

I decided to put a few images of Malcolm on this card. The image that looks white in the centre is actually silver but hard to photograph. I have used rhinestones for all of the lights and headlights for the trucks and white dew drops in the corners. Here are a couple of angles to get the proper perspective of the card; along with a close up of the trucks to show that they are actually raised at three different levels on the card.

Finally the inside of the card has been finished with the same dp as the outside of the card and the rear end of the first milk truck. The sentiment has been placed on a die cut sent to me by one of my Stamptv Wild Roses!!

That's all for this card. I hope you liked it and it gave you some idea's. Thanks for stopping by and it's my hope you come back to see the next card I did this afternoon!

Well, I am happy to report that we have Internet access on the slightly damp modem that has yet to learn how to swim!! Let this be a warning to all of you out there...it's never to late to send your modems to swimming lessons!! Avoid disaster...lessons save modems lives!!

In case the modem conks out we are releasing this weeks freebie image early. If you love this guy as much as we do, send an e-mail to the addy listed above {ummm...that would the addy in the big green letters} and we will be more than happy to send it to you. Of course, we are asking you to understand if we do not respond right away, it may mean our damp modem has sucked in too much water and gone to that watery ever after...and we will have to wait on the Shaw people to bring us a new one Saturday evening. No matter, if you send us an e-mail we will make sure you get a response no later than Sunday!! Promise!!! {Pinkie swear!}

Flood Report:

Our basement is now, for the most part, empty. They are arriving in the morning between 8:30-9:00AM to demo the basement. Apparently they will have the rooms gutted and the floors all ripped out tomorrow. Holy smokers!! Now we figure out how we are going to have the room put back together!! We were planning on renovating the basement next year so this is an opportunity to do it early. This is one of those glass is half full scenario's . Kind of a lottery of sorts...unfortunately...its kind of a sucky way to go about getting the basement upgraded. Those of you that know me well, know that I wait all year for summer because my boy's are here. This is not exactly the way I had planned our summer holidays to go, but they {the boyo's} are pretty great and going with it!!

Thanks to everyone for their terrific well wishes and e-mails. It is a dire day that I cannot find the humour in it. :) It's kinda what I do!! Thanks for stopping by and we look forward to replying to your e-mail requests for Malcolm!!
