Color Throwdown Challenge 109 Card

I love doing card challenges, but find I never get much time anymore. I've had this colour challenge open in my browser for almost a week before I finally sat down and did it. I loved the colour combo.

Colour Throwdown Challenge #109


Here is my submission:







It is now available for purchase at Barefoot Cards.

Preparations and New Products

We've been so busy lately with stocking up for upcoming fall/Christmas shows and with acting on new designs we've had in our heads. Seems we barely sleep a lot of the time!

We've got lots of new products that will listed soon. Many adult products.. and also new products for the kiddos. I'm so excited about them!

In October we have a session planned with a local photographer. She has given us a few sets of photos already... here is just a few of them.





If you are local in Southern Alberta, Tammy is an amazing children's and family photographer. You can check out her site at Tammy Thomsen Photography

Watch for updates on new product lines here. Hopefully within a couple days!

New Monkey Hat!

We just launched our new monkey hat, to add to our growing list of creatur hats.



There are several customizable options for these hats.... we can simply add a flower:



We can change the inner ear colour, edging and add a flower:





And we can make it in any size to fit newborns all the way to adults.

Here is a couple photos of my daughter modelling one:







I LOVE the long braided tassles on this one. So cute!

It is perfect for any little monkey in your life... boy or girl!

It is now available for purchase in our Esty shop:

Barefoot Creations

A New Card

I've been so busy creating, I haven't been blogging.

Since I've been doing a lot more papercrafting lately, I thought I would start participating in some sketch challenges etc.

This challenge was given by Jitterbuggin' Challenge

Entitled 'Born To Be Wild'.

Here is my take on the sketch:








I really like how it turned out. I used two cricut cartridges: Animal Kingdom and Plantin Schoolbook.
