Taylored Expressions 31 Challenge


Ok - I took a break from the layout -- it just is NOT coming together right now - here is my entry to the Taylored Expressions challenge. No cupcakes as I only have the one stamp but I made this for my daughter who just left for college.

This has Bazzill cardstock, A lot of Basic Grey paper and basic grey ribbon, Hero arts stamp (bird), An Imaginese Brad. The bird reminded me of someone stretching their wings like my daughter is dong now.

Tracy,
I know your dd is spreading her wings, but know that you have done a fantastic job raising her.
This card is so fitting and I love all the colors in it.
I so missed seeing her this year at our crop,but I did have fun with your other dd.

KWerner Color Challenge

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

Saturday Cinema Challenge

OK - I missed the last TWO! of these so I am taking no chances on what looks like another busy work week. SO here is my entry for Miracle on 34th Street. I know this line is not in the movie (and that the little girls name is Susan in the movie) but this is what I always think of when I watch this movie. The reference "Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus comes from a child writing to the Sun Newpaper and the editor answering with the spirit of the season. The card uses Bazzil Paper and Ribbon I forget the patterned paper brand. The Santa stamp is from Oriental Trading and the Letters are Studio G wooden letters. This is colored in with a combination of Tim Holtz inks (with the SU blender pen), Koh-i-nor pencils with mineral spirits and liquid applique. Brads, floss and a decorative eyelet round it out.
