Meatball Makeover

I just love that title!

That is the name of the image I used in today's card!

Meatball Makeover

and it's available now at the Fresh Brewed Shop!

Since it's Wednesday, it's time for a new challenge

at the Freshly Brewed Challenge Blog

And this is the start of the Month Long Challenge!

That means real, live in-the-mail prizes for the winner!

I honestly had a blast with this card!

The image cracked me up the minute I saw it!

She's just so darn cute!

And with the challenge this week at Fresh Brewed

this is one of those cards that just put itself together!

The challenge is to create a card using:

2 patterned papers

2 shapes

and 

2 embellishments

My patterned papers are from the DCWV School Days pack.

My shapes are a Star and a Circle

and my embellies are buttons tied with embroidery thread.

The banner and "birthday" text were written with my Cri-Kits pens

and the banner is from SVGCuts.com "Day at the Carnival"

I tried to color the Meatball to look like a traditional spicy meatball,

like my Grammy used to make!

I tell ya, getting that color combo isn't very easy!

No one in the world makes meatballs like my Grammy!

She is an "old skool" cook who actually tasted the raw meat mixture

before making and cooking the meatballs...

I think she finally quit doing that with all the scare about raw meat,

but there's nothing on this planet like sinking your teeth 

into one of her meatballs!

YUM!!
