Teagan's Challenge

Teagan has a great challenge on her blog. The colors are gorgeous! Check it out here!

Another Dirty Girl Challenge

Here's another Dirty Girls' Challenge. This one is layering (DTGD08Michelle) and layout (DTGD08Holly). I used another bird image from Flourishes' Birds Galore. The paper is Basic Grey "Back to School?" and the ink and paper colors are Sage, Rose Red, and More Mustard. I used my coluzzle and My Marvy Scallop Circle punch to do the owl layers. The eyes are brads. I also did some piercing in the corners of the plaid piece.

This is our cat Mali that we rescued from a farm. She was emaciated and full of fleas, but she took to the litter box like a champ. Since we got the dogs she has taken to using the dog door. She brought us critters for a while, but once we belled her, that practice ceased (she says with fingers crossed.)

Watercolor Garden Vellum for Laurie's Challenge

I found an old scrap of paper with images from Watercolor Garden (retired SU) and decided to use it with vellum for the SCS DGchallenge by Laurie. I embossed the vellum with my cuttlebug and sponged it with More Mustard to get the embossing to pop a little. The other colors are Eggplant Envy and Old Olive. I stamped the sentiment on the vellum cardstock and adhered it with brads. Hope you like! If you don't have a Cuttlebug yet, I recommend them. You can use your 40% off coupon at Michaels (although sometimes it takes some "persuading" with cashiers).
I think my card could have used a thin ribbon. I'll have to go through my stash and see what I can find.

Evil Eye Video

I found this on Stampin Starbuck's blog when I was checking out her kwerner challenge and had to share it with you all. I could watch it over and over. This baby is brilliant!

More Birds Galore and DG Challenge

DTGD08Jenn

Jenn Balcer's challenge was to use a beautiful cake as an inspiration. Not hard at all. I think Olive and Black are the ultimate color combo! I need to decorate a room in these colors! Have ya'll checked out the Dirty Girls Challenge at SCS? You can follow the link above (purple) to get to the challenges. They're keeping me busy and my kitchen table extremely cluttered! (My laundry is also piling up! :} )

Hitchcock Meets a Kwerner Challenge (#17)

fter I made this card, I realized, it's very "The Birds". That movie TERRIFIED me as a child. The suspense seemed so intense. This is my new Inkadinkadoo set and I'm determined to ink each of the stamps. It's such a great set! It's called Birds Galore. If you linked here from Kristina's sight, check out the other posts with this set. The images are SO cute!
The sentiment I used is from Sincere Salutations. HOpe you like!

Dirty Dozen Challenge # 1

I got my new Flourishes stamps that I ordered and couldn't wait to ink them up. I decided to ink them for Julie's white space challenge over at SCS. I only recently got Pumpkin Pie ink and absolutely love it. I've been using it quite a bit. I also used my Scor-Pal for the first time to make the box. I found that harder than it looks. I need to figure out some dimensions for regular size cards and boxes that fit perfectly in the middle. I used glue dots to "ruffle" the ribbon just so. I haven't added a sentiment as I'm not sure what this card will be used for.

This next card was forJody's ribbon challenge. Follow the links for each of these challenge for the details abotu the challenge. There is a contest if you are interested! I tried to make the ribbon look like it was holding the image suspended. I may have to play with this design.

Today was hot and extremely lazy. I always feel so guilty when I spend time stamping and surfing blogs and have no "necessary" project completed for the day. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow. Hope you had a nice Tuesday!
