February is definitely the month for the color red, and not just because of Valentine's day (or, if you prefer, Single Awareness Day). February is also the month of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® campaign.
Our featured ingredient for our Catered Crop Recipe Swap is the color Red!
I chose an oldie but goodie stamp I found in my stash from House Mouse. How could you not love this adorable little guy. His belly is full. I also dusted off my Prisma pencils. They needed some love. The yoyo flower is made of fabric from my stash.
Playing along is easy as cherry pie.
- Just use the color red somewhere in your project.
- Include a link to us at Catered Crop or just add our button, which you can grab on our sidebar or at our {button gallery}.
- Link up and link often, but be sure you link up by 8:00 PM EST on Saturday, March 3.

The colors and your coloring are wonderful
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute image and great coloring too!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Dawn....this is such an adorable image. I need to do some research, there use to be a lady named Sue who stamped with lots of House Mice images and made the cutest simple cards. In fact, she was the first card maker I followed. I haven't been to her site in years and wonder if she is still around.
ReplyDeleteAnother question....do you mail your cards and how? I've just retired and started making my own and the higher postage doesn't upset me but I'm afraid they cards will get flatten, torn or ruined in the system.
I still haven't tried doing any coloring...my extent of coloring my own is to use a black or white pen to add stitching..some day soon!
Oh he is just a Cutie for sure!!! He just had to take a bit out of each one didn't he....? Love how you created the background for him to!
ReplyDeletePerfect package!!!
