SHOW YOUR GRATITUDE AT THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE CHALLENGE!

Good morning everyone!  Today is one of those days where I am awake, but feel like my head is just going to crash into my computer keyboard at any second.  Not sure why - it's not as though I didn't sleep well, just thoroughly exhausted!

Anyhow, we have a NEW CHALLENGE over at THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE CHALLENGE and it is to show gratitude, appreciation or to thank someone, in honor of Veteran's Day, which is celebrated in the USA on November 11.   The DT girls have all made wonderful and unique interpretations of our theme and I sure hope you will check out their amazing creativity at THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE CHALLENGE.

You have until Monday, Novemeber 21st to enter our challenge and while you are not required to use an image from THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE , we'd sure LOVE to see one!!  Plus, if you use an image from THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE, you will get 2 entries for each project you submit for purposes of our random drawing for the winner.  Doing a page layout also gives you 2 entries!

For my card today, I chose STAMPING BOUTIQUE image "Mail Girl" and found this sentiment from a Unity rubber stamp set and thought it went perfectly.  My idea is that the girl is mailing a thank you card to our Troops overseas.  I have colored the image with Copics and added Pearl Ex powder for the sparkly background and Liquid Pearl for the snow.  I chose Bazzill and My Memory box and Bo Bunny papers, image and sentiment cut with Nesties and little dots filled in with Memento ink that I daubed while keeping Nestie in place.  Flowered pearls are from Jolee's Boutique and bling in from Recollections.  I hope you like it and will come play along!!

Happy Monday to all and welcome to our NEW CHALLENGE at THERE'S MAGIC IN THE AIR W/ PAPER CUPCAKES.    This week is was my turn to choose the challenge and I have chosen ALL WHITE w/ COLORED IMAGE.  I love the look of the crisp and clear white and shades of white (cream/ivory) and then adding an image full of color.  I hope you will come play along in our challenge.

For this week's creation, I used PAPER CUPCAKES image "Yarah and Blow."  I love this gorgeous image and had so much fun coloring it with Copics, Fiskars glitter gel pens and Sparkling H2Os water color paints, which I used for Yarah's tail and wings.  I used papers from Bazzill and SU, pre-punched flowers from CTMH that I embossed with Cuttlebug folder.  Also used Cuttlebug folder for frame and second layer.  Frame and image cut with Nesties.  I used vellum, which I also embossed with Cuttlebug folder for strip down the side and added ric rac ribbon from CTMH and lace from Hobby Lobby.  Buttons from my stash and pearl glittered flower from Jolee's Boutique.  Sentiment is from clear Hero Arts set and cut with Nesties.  Hope you like it and will come play along.

REMINDER - HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE AT JUST SOME LINES

Hey everyone! I'm here with your mid-challenge reminder for JUST SOME LINES BLOG:) Our challenge this time around is HALLOWEEN! You can get to your challenge by clicking the Challenge Badge on the left sidebar on the JUST SOME LINES BLOG, or by clicking HERE. We sure hope you will come play along, we have so many awesome entries already, but we want to see more:)

For my reminder inspiration, I decided to use an image that would not be a "typical" Halloween image and make a card with it. Earlier in the week, I took a traditional Halloween image and used non-traditional colors, so I reversed that this time:)

I chose Emo Amber and Alek sitting and colored them with Copics. I added Halloween colors using papers from Bazzill, Coredinations, Cloud 9 Design and Bo Bunny. Spiders in webs are Recollections, sentiment from Northwoods rubber stamp and cut with Lifestyle Crafts die. Image and backing cut with Nesties. Flowers and bling from Prima. Image can be found at JUST SOME LINES SHOP.

Don't forget to come play in our challenge - ends at 11:59pm on Fri., Nov. 4.

For today's card, I decided on something a little different - it's a "peek-a-boo" type card - my bookmark peeks out from the center image.  I am really excited how this turned out:)  All DP is from Echo Park and all CS is from Bazzill.  I chose DIGITAL DELIGHTS images Aliana witch and Franky topper as well as DIGITAL DELIGHTS circular "Boo to You" sentiment and "Witching you..." sentiment.  I colored my images with Copics and Fiskars glitter gel pens.  I used Nesties to cut the circle and Lifestyle Crafts die for Sentiment.  Franky topper is cut with scissors.  I daubed Ranger Distress Ink over the sentiment, using die cut as a guide.  Spider on web is from Recollections.

Hope you like it!

NON-TRADITIONAL COLORS HALLOWEEN AT JUST SOME LINES

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday! Today it's my turn to post on JUST SOME LINES BLOG and I have a fun creation to share:) I used "Little Witch 1" image from JUST SOME LINES' SHOP and I decided that since I have made so many "traditional" colors Halloween cards, this time, I was going to think "outside the box." So, I chose, pink, brown, purple, yellow and a small hint of blue and green to create my card.

I found this super cute sentiment from C.C. Designs rubber stamp set and cut out with Lifestyle Crafts die. I colored my JUST SOME LINES image with Copics and Atyou Spicas, cut with Nesties and daubed with Memento rich cocoa ink. Crystal bling and pearl and stars pick are from Prima, DP is from JillieBean Designs and Imaginisce and papers from Bazzill. Sure hope you like it!
