| Lucas! |
Isn't he a doll? An 8 yr old chocolate lab/ golden retriever mix, my husband and I adopted Lucas from the local shelter. He's got such a pretty variegated color, lots of deep browns and reds (and whites, the little old man!). We just adore him : ) Boss, the original mascot, and still king, of McLion Design is adjusting well. Lucas has pretty intense hip arthritis, so he can't climb onto the sofa or the bed, which is a relief to Boss, who adores both, so that is a help!
On to business!
The Facebook contest has been kind of a bust-- though I did get 5 new likes over the weekend (progress!). If you're reading this post and want to help out by sharing the McLion Design Facebook page on your page and encouraging your friends to like/ support McLion, I'd very much appreciate it! And remember, if you link to us/ share directly from the McLion page, I'll enter you into a contest to win any item in the shop, or the three-pack of Tim Holtz Distress Inks I posted the other day!
My husband, being in the Navy, is on duty at least once a week, so while that is a bummer when it comes to a warm bed (he's a straight-up furnace!), it is good for productivity! After a small hiatus from creating yesterday to help Lucas settle in, I made two new sets of cards tonight!
The first is this butterfly card I'm calling "Flight"-- very elegant, perfect for a bridal shower or as an inclusion in a wedding gift:
Materials Used:
My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday Paper
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Ranger Crackle Accents
Martha Stewart Butterfly Classic Punch
Recollections ivory pearls
Swirl cling stamp
white embossing powder
I also made this next card this evening-- probably my favorite so far! It obviously took me a little longer (and I made those rosettes by hand, darn it!), but I adore the result!:
Materials Used:
Ivory cardstock
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder
My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Cling stamps
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint
Perfect Pearls gold powder
Martha Stewart card stamp set
Pretty neat, huh? I just adore these cards! You can buy the butterfly card here and the bon voyage card here.
I'll be teaching some classes at the Hobby Lobby in Everett starting in a couple weeks- if you're in the Mukilteo/ Everett/ Seattle area, I'll keep you up to date about times/ dates/ subjects!
Thanks for keeping up with the blog, guys!
