Corrosive Challenges #214 - Anything Goes


Hi everyone.  Boy am I out of practice.  So much going on at home and just not enough time left over to craft but things are changing.  I colored this in my freshly painted living room.  That's what the hubby and I did over Thanksgiving.  First we had to patch a lot of spots where the parrots weren't very good babies.  We also painted the kitchen.  It was a lot of work but it looks so pretty now.  We hadn't painted in about 10 years.  It was well overdue.  But enough about me.  It's time for another challenge from Corrosive Challenges.  This is our last challenge of the year and it is Anything Goes.

We have awesome sponsors for this challenge...Lacy Sunshine and Spellbinding Stamps by Nikki Burnette.  The prizes are 3 digis from each sponsor.  Woot Woot!!

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges for all the details and then enter the challenge.  I can't wait to see what you create.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Happy Birthday Betty!!!!!!!!!


Welcome to the SBS Birthday Betty Hop.  The queen of SimplyBStamps is turning 40 today.  To celebrate, we are having a HUGE birthday hop.  I won't say too much here because I know you are all tired from hopping.  If you came from Lizzy's blog you are on the right track.  It all starts at Corinne's blog and she has all the details about how this blog came about and the fabulous artist that drew the image for us.  As I said before, I know you have read a lot already so I will just send you on your way to enjoy the rest of the projects.  Next stop is Bridgette.  The entire list is below if you got lost.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the the hop.

& Happy Birthday Betty!

Corrosive Challenge #211 - Magical


It is time for another challenge from Corrosive Challenges.  The theme this time is Magical.  I am going to do a little cheating for my post and "borrow" what Jasmine posted on the Corrosive blog.  Here it is in the words of lovely Jasmine:

We are thrilled to introduce a new sponsor to our challenges.  Please say a warm welcome to Spellbinding Stamps by Nikki Burnette!  According to Nikki, 

"Fantasy art is where my heart lies. I love being able to escape the reality of our world for even just a few hours and enter a new fantasy realm where witches play tricks on Halloween Night, fairies fly around the sweet smelling rosebuds, and mermaids swim gracefully through the water with their dolphin friends." 

Well said!  You can see all of her amazing Fantasy Art on her Website  or check out her Facebook Page.  She regularly has freebies and contests for her followers.  Her digis are available at her Etsy Shop.  She has offered up a fabulous prize of 3 Digis for one winner!!

And once again, we are lucky enough to have not one but TWO amazing sponsors.  Welcome back to Sassy Studio Designs!  They have some great new releases that are perfect for playing along, and one lucky winner will receive 4 digis.
That brings us to our challenge...which is to create a project featuring something magical!  Fairies, witches, wizards, dragons, you name it.  Get creative!

Thanks Jasmine.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things after taking a break.  I didn't really do anything fancy to this one.  Just the basics.  I colored with Copics and popped everything up.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Corrosive Challenges #206 - "B" Unique


Welcome to the latest challenge from Corrosive Challenges.  We are sponsored by DILLY BEANS and I am using Deli Framed.  We want you to use at least 3 things that start with a B on your project.  I used black, button brads, black bling and bows.  Since this is a triple b challenge, I decided to make this one for my favorite triple b...Bailey Bug Boggs.


Isn't she adorable?  She started kindergarten this year.  This was either day one or day two.  She is really loving it.  I love my Bailey Bug Boggs.  She is my niece Rebecca's daughter.  I could just eat her up.

Please head over to the Corrosive Challenges blog and check out what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Simply Steampunk Challenges - Rip-n-Tear


It is time for the August Simply Steampunk Challenge.  This time we want you to Rip-n-Tear...really beat it up.  I am using the amazing Marie Back from Death from Simply B Stamps.  This image is perfect for my niece, Becca.  Her birthday is coming up soon and this is soooooo Becca!!!  I added a happy birthday sentiment on the inside.

I ripped the background paper, distressed the edges and rolled them up a bit.  Behind the paper is a layer of really old gauze that I pulled and tugged a bit.  I also used it for the bow.  I had a great time with this one.  I hope you all join in and have as much fun as I did.

Corrosive Challenge #205 - Birthday


Hello all.  It is time for another fabulous challenge from Corrosive Challenges.  This time we want to see your birthday cards.  Our sponsor is Sami Stamps.
$12 Gift Certificate
This was the first card I did in a long time where I didn't fussy cut.  It just felt strange to me.  I love to fussy cut and pop things up.  I did pop the image up but not one bit of fussy cutting was done. I hope you like it.  It was a busy day for me.  I made 54 cupcakes for my husband's 50th birthday party.  That really tired me out and I still have to clean up the mess so I will be brief.  Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and see what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Jude Tricksters Release!!!!

Little Ali Pumpkin

Hello hello hello.  Time for another awesome release from Simply B Stamps.  Woot woot!!!  This time we have the super cute Jude Tricksters.  Unfortunately, I only had time to finish one card but I just think all the images were adorable.  I am sure I will play with them in the future.  

I am featuring Little Ali Pumpkin.  Isn't she a cutie pie?  I couldn't resist doing a double googly eye treatment.  This was just begging for it, plus I have about 15,000 pairs of eyes to use up.
Please head over to the SBS blog and check out what the rest of the design team created.  They are all so amazing.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

KennyK Challenge #177 - Music

Madame Axe


Woo hoo!!!  It is time for another fabulous challenge from KennyK's Krafty Krew.  The rules are the same as always...Anything Goes with a Twist.  The twist this time is music.  All the details are posted on the KennyK's Krafty Krew blog.  Remember, you win more if you incorporate the twist.

I am using Madame Axe.  I usually have a lot of trouble with Steampunk but I think this one came out pretty good.  I am going to send this one to an old friend who just moved back to town after 18 years.  I got to use 2 new items on this card, a die I won and some adorable, tiny gears and cogs I found online.  One of my best purchases ever I think.  I just love all the detail it adds to the guitar.

Please head over to the Krew's blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for your inspiration and then play along with us.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Love to Create Clean & Layered #123

 
Hello everyone.  I am so excited to tell you that I was asked to be a guest designer for Love to Create.   The challenge this time is Fussy & Fancy or Clean & Layered. The sponsor is ArtbyMiran.  I was given this beautiful image called Lillian to work with.  I decided Clean & Layered would be the way to go with this one.  The matted layer is popped up, the image is popped, the bottom row of flowers is popped up and I cut the bow off of the original image and layered actual ribbon instead.
 
As I type this I am celebrating the 4th of July with my family.  I traveled from Ohio to Kentucky to be with them.  My beautiful great niece, Bailey, said she wanted this card.  I brought some cards down with me and I gave my niece and her husband 3 cards.  I brought Bailey one that she had previously picked out from my blog.  She saw the other 3 cards and was upset that she only got one.  She looked at my cards and said this one was hers and she wanted 2 more so that she would have the most.  She is 5.  I just love her.
 
I hope you like the card and I hope you check out Love to Create and ArtbyMiran.  Thanks to LTC for allowing me to create with them and thank you for stopping by.  Have a great day.
