S.W.A.K. Action Wobble

It finally rained in California!!  I guess fall is officially here.  Although it was short lived and we are once again wearing shorts and shirt sleeve shirts, it does finally feel as if we are truly heading towards the holiday season.  So we are in the craft room creating cards for family and friends and working on our DT projects :)

Today I want to share this sweet card with you as I post as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team!  The Action Wobble is located under the sentiment S.W. A. K.

"I miss you so much!  S.W.A.K."

This adorable digi stamp was made into a postage stamp.  Using Photoshop, the digi stamp was colored to look vintage.  A bit of gold color was added throughout the stamp to make it look aged.  

An Action Wobble was added to the card (under the S.W.A.K.) to add fun and interest to the card.

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.

Thanks for stopping by!

Feel better soon "Stretch" Willie McCovey

Anyone that knows me knows that I have been a HUGE San Francisco Giants fan since I was a little girl.  I would beg my family to travel the nearly four hours to Candlestick Park to watch the Giants play as often as possible.  When I heard that one of our beloved Giants, Willie McCovey, was not feeling well, I decided to make him a special card.   My hope was to brighten his day just as he and the Giants have done for me on so many occasions.  

Today I want to share this special card with you as I post as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team! 

This card was inspired by this Giants bobble head.  I thought it would be fun to make this Giants image into a moving figure by adding an Action Wobble.  

So, the figure was print and cut using the Silhoutte Cameo and the Action Wobble was added to make the figure shake!!  A baseball image was added behind the Giant to complete the look.  

"Sending you a GIANT hug"

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece

I must say that I am a proud aunt to an amazing niece, Alex, who is currently attending graduate school at Marquette University.  She is studying to be a nurse, which warms my heart.  Alex has always been a compassionate young lady and one day very soon she will be a fabulous nurse.  

Recently Alex celebrated her 22nd birthday and of course I had to make her a cute card with an Action Wobble. Today I want to share this card with you as I post as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team! 

 This card started as a free, uncolored, nurse image coloring page character.  

 It was then colored in Photoshop to give it life!

With a few embellishments the card was finished.  The Action Wobble is under the image of the nurse.

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.
