It's Friday!

This week's Friday Fun Challenge is being hosted by Sherry of Stamping When I'm Not Working. The challenge is to make a masculine card without using any shade of blue or green. I used my new Ambrosia paper from Basic Grey, including a slate grey color which looks a bit blue in the picture, but believe me, IT'S GREY. I used last week's Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge for my layout (SC187).

Stamps: Image and Sentiment by Hambo Stamps
Paper: PTI White, Basic Grey (Ambrosia Collection)
Ink: StazOn Stone Grey, Copic Sketch Markers (T5, YR09, R29, YR14)
Accessories: grey mini brads

Friday Fun!!!

Hi all! It's Friday again, and that means it's time for our weekly Friday Fun Challenge! This week's hostess is Jimmi, and her challenge involves using BLING on your card. For details, visit Jimmi's blog, here.



Here is my Blingy card. It's hard to tell in the pic, but the bloom is completely traced over with Platinum Stickles and it shines like crazy! The dandelion stamp is from Hero Arts, and the sentiment is from SU's Short & Sweet set. This is my first card using the new In-Colors, Kiwi Kiss and Pacific Point. I added in SU's Close to Cocoa and PTI's Vintage Cream, which I stippled with Close to Cocoa ink. I also used my Nestabilities scallop square die cuts, SU's word window punch, and Kiwi brads. My layout was cased shamelessly from Beate's gorgeous card, here.

Musical Inspiration

I made this card for the VSN pre-challenge called "Musical Inspiration". The challenge was to choose a song and make a card using that song as your inspiration. The inspiration for this card is T-Pain's song entitled "Buy You a Drank". Yeah, it's one of my ringtones! LOL. Anyway, it looks like Stella has had far too many people buying her drinks tonight! I used Julee Tiliman's Mojo Monday #42 sketch for my layout, but turned the square on an angle 'cause Stella's tipsy. Thanks for the fun challenges, ladies!


Stamps: Stamping Bella's "Stella with an Olive on Top" and sentiment "whuzzup?"
Paper: Basic Grey (Eva Collection), PTI White
Ink: Ranger's Walnut Stain, Copic Sketch Markers
Accessories: SU's large and small oval punches, Nestabilities square punch, brown brads

Let's Have Some FRIDAY FUN!!

Hi Y'all! Welcome to the FIRST EVAH FRIDAY FUN CHALLENGE!!!!

This is a new challenge that I will be presenting every Friday with my Sassy friends Kim, Jimmi, and Sherry. Our plan is to take turns hosting a fun challenge ~ color, sketch, limited supplies, project, technique ~ anything that we think you will enjoy trying.

This week our hostess with the mostest is Kim, and she has decided to present a color challenge using Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, and Kraft. Check out all the deets on Kim's blog, Papertastic Creations.

Here is my card. I used my new Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to create the background on Kraft paper, adding elements in PTI White and Chocolate Chip. The layout for this card is courtesy of Julee Tilman (it's her Verve Visual Sketch #1). I just love her layouts! I added the Pretty in Pink around the owl's eyes, and also with the mini brads. I think it gives a nice little POP to the card! The stamp is from Inkadinkado. You likey?
