Zebra Feather Arrows!!

Hi everyone and welcome to a brand new week!  Hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Ours was nice but busy and now it seems that I have a nasty sinus infection and a touch of the flu--blech!  So I hope to get some projects done in between laying on the couch today, lol!  And I've got magazine projects to get done, I need to whip myself back into shape quickly, I HATE being sick!  My daughter's 14th birthday is this week on the 25th so she's having a sleepover with a few friends--OUTSIDE--in a tent, LMBO!  My non-nature-adventure daughter sleeping outside--we'll see how long it lasts, lol!  I'll make a bet with you that it doesn't last very long--in fact if you leave me a comment today on this post with "the time you think my daughter & friends come crawling back in the house"--the closest person to the actual time will win a $25 gift certificate to Emma's Paperie on me, hee hee!  (shhh..don't tell her I have this bet though, lol)  And what she'll love even more is us going camping for Memorial Day Weekend--we haven't told her yet--when we do you'll hear her scream, lol---no electronics, no facebook, no showers--she just LOVES it!

-The winner of my blog candy from this post is Autumn of My Creative Side!  Congrats Autumn! Email me with your details!

*********************************************************
Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!!



Today the Magnolia-licious DT has a fun blog hop for you and we've all used the same stamp "Right Through My Heart" from Magnolia-licious. You can find all the blog hop details (including how to join in on the fun for some fabulous prizes) on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog HERE.  I decided I wanted to go over to the WILD SIDE with this stamp to show how you can use it for a multi-tude of things!  This time it's funky fun using my favorite animal print and colors (hmmm....matches my craftroom, coincidence I think NOT, lol) for a card and a fun matching purse!!


So I pulled out some zebra paper from my stash and my favorite colored cs from PTI (aqua mist) to create a WILD SIDE card!  I had bought a bag of feathers from the craft store awhile back, so I was happy to see some black feathers were included.  I distressed the edges of my zebra paper then skewed the layers for a more funky look--not so perfect!!  The sentiment is from PTI's Handwritten Notes" which is one of my faves and it says "Listen to the whispers of your heart"--dontcha' just love that! And the big bow was made with my Bow Easy.  Those black pearls were made with my black pearl pen from Viva Decor--I love making my own pearls whatever size I need them to be and you can use the Gloss Gel Pens to create pearls as well (see here for both).

 
This stamp is so cute--I love Tilda as a little warrior, but when you stamp her she doesn't have an arrow in her hand thru the bow! Strange huh--so I made her an arrow with a toothpick that I colored with my black copic and attached some white feathers to the end of the arrow.  I also restrung her bow with a scrap of Scrappers Floss.  The bow was coated with diamond glaze for some shine.  I also colored her lil' bag of arrows like zebra print and then gave it a coat of diamond glaze as well (and there are a lot of stickles thrown in too).  Hey, my warrior gal is FUNKY FABULOUS!!



And lemme tell ya there is nothing better than a funky fabulous ZEBRA PURSE to go along with the card (yes, I know I have a few real ones myself, hee hee).  You can find a great purse template on the Scor-Pal site HERE.  My purse has a magnetic closure so you could add some small treats and gifts or a gift certificate inside.  I added some more fun feathers, a Prima pearl center to the closure and ribbon handle.  I had a ton of fun creating this project and I hope you had fun viewing it too!

Now for the next stop of this fabulous Blog Hop you need to hop over to Becca's Blog HERE (her post goes up at 6 am est)--so if you are hopping before 6 am make sure and stop back by her blog cuz' she always have something fabulous for you to see.  While you're waiting hop on over to Claudia's blog HERE.  And don't forget to stop by the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog to see the rest of the hop details and join in on the fun!!

Have fun hoppin' and I'll see you back here tomorrow with a Gina K Blog Hop!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Gorgeous! Love the colour combo! Sure is stange that she's about to shoot nothing! Love the toothpick!!
    I think your daughter and her mates will come sneaking and giggling back inside around 1:25am... just late enough to wake you after you've finally nodded off!! Good luck xx

  6. 2:15 a.m. :-)
    Love all the girly projects!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Suzanne I love the wild side of your project! Love Tilda's zebra arrow holder and the arrow that you made her! The purse is just as cute as can be love the feathers on both.

  11. Boas, zebra print, and Tilda - oh my! Great project!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Gorgeous card and project!
    Your daughter might surprise you. Usually it is in the wee hours of the morning when all they get tired and go to sleep (if they go to sleep) and everything gets too quiet for her. I will guess 3:30am.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I love the color combo-it really stands out!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm guessing that your daughter and friends will drag themselves inside around 3 a.m. I think that having friends with her, she may last longer than if she was alone or with just one other person.

  27. What a funky card. Love what you did with the feather and the arrow. I always thought the arrow had been shot and that is why it wasn't there. Who knows. I am so with your dd on the camping experience - been there, done that, don't want to do it again. My guess is that they will last until 2:00 am - you have to have time to talk and laugh outside before reality hits.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Suzanne this is adorable ! I love the take you used on this sketch and as always your coloring is awesome .... great idea on the tooth pick my have to use that on mine.
    Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'll guess 1:45 am before they pack it in...

    Love the card and purse! You always are thinking outside the box; what a great idea to use it for treats or gift certificate!

    Hope you are feeling better... take care and rest!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Suzanne this is so adorable hun! Love the beautiful gift set! Those colors ROCK!!! And your altering of Tilda is PERFECTO! Love it!!!

    As for your daughter...I think she will be in at 10PM because they will be bored off of their rockers! lol! I too am like your daughter and so NOT an outdoorsy girl either! lol!

    Hugs~ Kim

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is too cute, love the feathers. That purse is just awesome! You are sooo crafty!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hope you're feeling better soon. I think you're daughter will make it until 1:15am I had to laugh about the arrow. I had just told my daughter she didn't have one and it was just wrong and she commented she had already shot it because the string wasn't pulled back. Ahhhhh. Out of the mouths of babes. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  37. Suzanne - you rock! Love what you have done here! You have to let your wild side out now and then

    ReplyDelete
  38. Beautiful card! The purse is so neat! My guess will be 1:45am:)
    Michelle

    ReplyDelete
  39. Your card is absolutely gorgeous.... I love it......and your purse is the cutest thing...I will have to go and see about making one too....
    For your daughter my time will be....when the sun goes down and its start's to get cold...so around...8:30pm......

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ooooh, I love this funky card and purse! It's amazing!! And, I love the idea of using a toothpick for the arrow...very clever!

    I'm guessing your daughter will come back inside around 1:30am, which is longer than I would last outside in a tent, LOL! Rosemary :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow Suzanne, this is gorgeous! I love the colors and feathers. I thought it was strange the arrow was missing, the string isn't even pulled back. LOL You made is look great! Hugs!

    Ohh... maybe she just shot the arrow?:)

    ReplyDelete
  42. First...love the card and purse girlfriend. A little on the 'wild' side. ;-) Great job, and I now see another stamp in my future. LOL

    Ok the camping. Well if DD was campting with me, I'd say all night, as we camp in a 45' motorhome, air, running water, 45" plasma TV, microwave....you get the picture. LOL Tell her to come on down to Myrtle Beach. :-)

    But since she is outdoors and not an outdoor person, I will say 2:10. They will probably stay up that late chatting and then get tire and when everyone gets quite, they will probably want to come indoors.

    Hubby and I started off with a tent and I absolutely love camping then too. But I was an outdoors person.

    Love ya, Pat J

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love the black and white and the bow! It's still getting pretty chilly at night so I will say before midnight. Of course if she has your determination she will stay all night!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Suzanne you are so creative I tell ya! This is just so darn cute! I love the aqua with the black. Gorgeous! I hope you feel better soon. As for when your daughter will come in....ummmmm....she may shock you and just stay all night!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. The card is adorable. I love the zebra paper. As for your daughter - I'm guessing 11:23. Much more for teenagers to do inside.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This card is stunning!
    I love the aqua colors.

  47. Very cool project, love the colors of it!

    I'm guessing your daughter will stay out all night, she'll put on a brave face and she'll be with her friends.

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is super cute. I bet it is looking adorable in your room! I really think your idea with the toothpick is awesome. I would ahve to say that they will be in by 11:33pm lol...Poor kids, I hope thay have fun being scared together. Hugs, Lisa

  50. Suzanne your card and purse are too cute. I love the zebra stripes.
    I think your baby will make it until atleast midnight.So how about 12:16 How uncool is it to come in before midnight? They will start to wind down and have enough junk food by then. Funny. My daughter was prissy too but when it came to being with there friends it is amazing what they can do.

    Hugs,
    Pam L.

  51. I love it!! Great Zebra design papers and the image is STUNNING!! Xx Marley

  52. It was not that long ago that I was 14 and having sleepover's with girlfriends...I doubt those giggly girls will be asleep before two (especially since they are outside and away from the "rents"). Once they stop gossiping about boys and classmates they will start getting spooked. I'm betting right around 3:00am...lets go for 3:03.

    Love your creativity and tips on coloring with copics! :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great card...I'll say they come in @ 2:50 am

  61. This is such a fun and creative card and purse set. Love the wild theme that you have going on these and the colors are perfect. Of course they just happen to be one of my favorite color combos as well.

    As far as your daughter's camping adventure. I'm going to say that she's going to tough it out til 7:00 AM. I have faith. lol

    As to your daughter staying in the tent. My guess is she'll be back in the house 12:37am

    ReplyDelete
  65. I am guessing they change their minds and never make it to the tent! You always have the best sense of humor and the most wonderful cards.Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Feel better soon! I bet those girls will be in before 11:45pm...too cold even in your area... Hope there is no rain in the forecast!

  68. I love the feathers and your arrow. It was a nice touch to use the toothpick and small feather.

    I love this card.

    As a former Girl Scout leader, I think the girls will be coming in about 11:15.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Finally!! I've been waiting for somebody to come up with an arrow! I thought that would be the first thing that everybody would add as an embelishment, but you're the only one. Awesome colouring job. And I love any colour scheme with black and white. Love the matching zebra print for Tilda's arrow case.

    I cheated a bit and googled the weather forecast for your area. Don't know how accurate your weathermen are...they're predicting thunderstorm. If that's the case, I'm thinking your daughter and friends won't even go out there but will stay in the house...LOL.

    Hugs.

  73. Stunning creations Suzanne, love this Tilda, your detail is wonderful! Guess the girls maybe back in by 1 ish when it the tent starts to leak lol! Hope you are feeling better soon, take careX:)

  77. Hi Susan!

    I love your project. Now, I need to learn how to do one myself for my daughter who will turn 10 on the 28th of this month. She is having a sleepover also but not outside. I just had a daughter that turned 14 on the 7th. If your daughter doesn't like to camp I would say the least time will be an hour and max will be 2 hours. Have fun and get well.

  78. I actually sent a reply to your e-mail. Wonder where it went? I think they will run for the house about 10:48, once the bugs get to biting and they cannot last without the facilities and the radio!

    ReplyDelete
  79. What a fabulous card and purse. I love Tilda's look as a warrior. Usually she's so cute and adorable. LOL! Great new look for her. Let's see. Not a nature girl, huh? I'm going to bet she makes it until after dark so I'll guess 10:24pm. Hope you are feeling better very soon! It awful to be sick when the sun is shining. Take care!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Gorgeous! I just love the feathers!

    LOL. My guess is that they will come crawling back in at 2:30am.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love your application of this stamp. You always blow me away with your designs.
    I'm guessing your daughter will be in the house by 11:00pm - especially if there is a storm brewing.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Love the combination of colors and the coloring is amazing! I bet your daughter comes in around 10:11

    ReplyDelete
  83. Love your coloring! I'm guessing your daughter will come inside around 12;50 AM. It might get too cold for them. In any event, they will have a blast! Susan

  84. Your projects are just so cute and fun! Love the aqua and black together, the Viva Decor pearls, and your coloring of the image is as awesome as ever! My best guess on DD's "camping" out is that they won't make it past 11:15 p.m. They should be about talked out by then and getting uncomfortable! LOL!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I love it!!! I thought the same thing about my daughter's 1st camping adventure outside. Since she's 14, I would have to go a bit later so she hopes you won't notice like say maybe 2:00 a.m. Probably about the time the cell phones will nedd recharged! lol

    Love the card too! Had a good laugh with that too since it matches your blog header!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Love the card - everytime I see zebra print I think of you. I think your daughter and friends won't be sneaking in...I think they'll walk right in around 12/Midnight when the neighborhood gets quiet and scary.

  98. Hi Suzanne, I think this is one of your tuffest challenges. A girl's camping sleepover usually lasts outside about 2 hours. So if they head out around 10:30 I'll go with 12:30.

    Hope you're feeling better soon. Oh BTW your project is wonderful. Beth.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Hi Suzanne, I love your card and purse just too cute!! I will say your daughter and her friends will make to 4:20am.

  102. Finally, someone not only noticed Tilda had no arrow, nor a string on her bow, but you did something about it. Nice Work and attention to details. Feel better soon.
