Riley's OFF THE EDGE! :)


 
Woohoo, Happy Tuesday!
 
Lucky, lucky me! Today is my turn to post the challenge on the
I decided to think really outside the box
and throw down a "Off the Edge" (of the card!) challenge.
 
So I inked up one of my very favorite, love him so much, bestest Rileys EVAH -
I colored him, the background sky and basket w/ my prismas
and paper-pieced the balloon w/ designer paper.
 
I also decided to be a bit bolder and make my own 'mountains' and
cut out a few circular patterns with my nestabilities and adhered those down -
ta-da! Instant mountains! :)
 
 
 
And of course I had to decorate the inside of my card!
I used the uber fabulous FunnyBones sentiment, also from Riley and Company,
as this is one of my VERY favorite quotes of all times.
I used it for my daughter's graduation 2 years ago
and it just speaks volumes while being light-hearted and whimsical!
  
 
 
SPEAKING OF RILEY AND COMPANY ....
Time to get *SUPER* excited!!
We are about to have a brand new stamp release!
**Squee!!**
 
Stay tuned - there will be a hop, lots of DT inspiration,
and a chance to win!

That's it for me -- have a best, blessed day!
 
Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings

  1. That is one of my favorite Riley stamps :-) and I love the DR. Seuss quotes. I used one on a card last week? I can't remember... but I had this one printed as well.

    Adorable layout. So happy, cheerful and fun!
