Hippo in a Hot Rod Convertible


Hello My Sweet Friends

It's Friday and the the weekend is just around the corner.  Do you have any special plans??  I will be making some new creations and sharing either here or on my Hugs4TheHeart FB page.  I would love it if you stopped by and said hello.

Today I am sharing my DT project using this adorable image from artist Sandra Caldwell named:

Hot Rod Hippo #1627  (Link to this image in Sandra's Etsy Shop)

Here's the link to her FB Group:

Sandra has so many amazing and adorable images in her Etsy Shop.  I really hope you will check them out - you will not be disappointed.  They really will make you smile.




She really makese smile.  Maybe it's because it reminds me of my mustang convertible I had a few years ago.  Plus I love hippoes.  

I colored this cutie using Copics and colors used are:

C01, 03, 05 (Hippo)
R35, 37 37 (Hot Rod)
Y13, 15, 17 (Dress and Bow)
White Gel Pen 
Small Flowers

I added the flowers the way to create the look of a frame.  I wanted it to look like she just bought this car and was ready for a long road trip but having her photo taken first.  

I hope she brings you a smile!!

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.  Your comments always mean a lot to me.

    We bought a new car this weekend but I didn't look this glamorous driving it, I'm sure :) Love the flowery border too, a great way to frame her :)

Pretty in Pink

Happy Happy Saturday My Dear Sweet Friends I've got my Fitztown DT hat on today and I am sharing an altered small composition I made using one of the gorgeous rose images from Fitztown . Here's how I make my altered composition books whether they are the large or small ones. I used a small file and lightly sanded the front & back of the book until all the shine is gone.  I added the cardstock to the front and back using glue. I used my bone folder to make sure the cardstock was adhered well. I used Copics to color the roses. Fussy cut out the roses and attached to the front of the composition book with glue. Used my bone folder to make sure the image was adhered well. Added a strand of faux pearls to the left side. This really is a quick and easy project.  I actually like to make several ahead of time to either give as RAK's or gifts to family, friends or co-workers. Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your feedback and comments....
