Boring to ....?

Remember the boring layout I posted? hint: scroll down
Well I spent some time on it yesterday and here is what I came up with.




First I inked the Basic Grey paper with red (using a Q stack). The I decided to use glitter on the Bazzill to make my own patterned paper. I used a glue pad and the two scoops swirlie stamp. I added clear/white ultrafine glitter. Sparkly!
This view may show you the sparkles better. I used some silver chipboard letters from Kurio (a little obsession of mine is sparkly chipboard letters!) added a ribbon under some of the letters (OK ribbon might be an obsession too) to make them pop more and I have my title. For the journal box I did not like to have the white showing so I used some more of my Cats Eyes to color that yellowish gold to match the paper before journaling. It is not my favorite layout but better then before!

In the worlds of Everclear (Warning: obscure song by obscure band reference but it has been running through my head this morning!) "Here we go again... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... I know you had your doubts, I know you think I am crazy, I know your just like me!" here is my KWerner challenge. Yes I WAS going to spend all evening making gifts for my friends YES I did get distracted by this challenge. But it is TOO fun! Here are the colors that Kristin chose this week -- -for me it was a challenge! These colors are suppose to go together? hmmmm. Did I mention I LOVE these challenges. I got a box today from LoriMart (wooohooo) so I was all about using some new stuff. Oh and I HAD to use the template that Kristin offered up to every one with that beautiful swirl. Lets see - I used my Heidi Swapp mask with the Tim Holtz mini misters (mister contained worn lipstick and perfect pearls) to to make the swirls (and the heart in the title). The card itself is Bazzil, I als...

I just need to start packing. So I took a break and made a card. This is for Challenge SCTL7 http://stampinglinkstolove.blogspot.com/ . This week is just add leaves. You need to have at least 5 leaves on your card. Here is my entry. Since things have been so sad around here lately I wanted to remind myself to smile The paper leaves are from Prima and the brad leaves are from my stash. The paper is from Basic Grey and Bazzill and yes it is the same paper as on the last card. The smile is a sticker - I dont remember the vendor but I got it at Target. The stamp is from Northwoods - (background on the paper) I used Ranger esspresso ink with vintage photo distress embossing powder. Everything is inked in ColorBox ink from a Que. The bling is from Kaiser. It may not be my best card but it made me smile! edit: To answer a question: the paper is Desire and Pearl from the Scarlet Letter Collection from Basic Grey --- this is the 8x8 paper version which I like better for card making --- I know n...
