Use It Tuesday - Guest Designer Card

Here is the Use it Tuesday Guest Designer Card.  Whew, such an honor and very nervewracking.  I love my new MS Butterfly border punch.  The big Yellow Rose is made using the owl from my Cricut cart, the little flowers using my small EK Sucess punch.  The scallop square was cut from the Accent Essential Cricut Carl.  Too cool!

CASE of Mary's Card

I loved the card that Mary made for a challenge sometime ago and have been wanting to try to CASE it.  The scoring is tricky but I finally got a reasonable likeness.  Check out Mary's card here:   http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1899698

Use it Tuesday Challenge, another Card!

I stamped a little yesterday and finished it up today.  Wow, cut into another "hoarded" sheet of DSP.  I was reading a post where the writer was asking what to do with her out of style DP so I decided, well, duh! DP does go out of "style" so I better quit hoarding and start using!  Thanks for the Challenge!

Use it Tuesday Challenge

I should never have stamped today.  What a mess I made! Don't you hate days like that?  I started to do another challenge over on Splitcoast to combine with this one but I totally messed that up so this is what I ended up with.  I did cut and mangle not ONE but FIVE sheets of DP!!! AAAACCKKK! talk about totally getting the shakes! lol. 

As an added bonus, I combined the 1st Use it Tuesday Challenge, ink up a stamp you have never used, and the second one, to use your hoarded DP.  My good friend and Kota Pen Pal Connsie sent me a fabulous set of Hero Arts stamps which I just couldn't wait to use.  I plan to use more DP and post my cards.

New Post at last!

I am so glad I finally put together something!!! I have been trying to stamp for several days with not luck.  No creativity moving at all none of the challenges really motivated me so I just put this together and it made me happy.  We have been having snow so I am not a happy camper, want the sunshine back!

USE001 Use it Tuesday Challenge

Wow, the very first challenge!  I hope I can be faithful in doing these challenges, I spent lots of time trying to figure out where to use the new butterfly punch I bought at Michael's for 45% on Sunday.  I also used a TAC sentiment that I had never used before, so like my friend Lisa, this is a TWOFER!!!   Woohoo!

 

Stamping Again, at last

Life gets in the way of stamping sometimes, isn't that just a pain?  LOL!  I did the Color Challenge at SCS an boy was it a challenge!  Here is the result.  River rock, Basic Grey (I only had Going Grey so that is what I used) and White.  I really did use Going Grey on the raised embossed portion but it looks black. 

Bluebirds Revisited

More stuff used!!! Woohoo! 4 items from my scrap, stamped,embossed, just waiting to be used but discarded, "stuff" box!   CAS card I will decided later what sentiment to use on it. 

Bluebird Thank You

This was for the CAS challenge, but I have a hard time leaving all that blank white space, so I embossed the background, still not happy, then I added chalk, NOW I am happy.  I used 2 pieces from my "stuff" box.  The bread tag and the piece of Melon Mambo.

Bright Silhouette

GRRRR, Our computer crashed and I was going into withdrawal not having a computer.  We had to buy a new one so now I have to learn how to use a new photo program and we had to rearrange the furniture to accomadate the new computer so my photo taking area has changed.  Ugh!!!

I am so not use to using bright colors!  I combined the Sketch Challenge and the TLC (got so behind, but stamped 3 cards in one day) 

Gift Set

I suddenly remembered that I had the sunflower nesties and I felt the need to use my new Big Shot, lol.  I cut the paper for the flap of the envelope just a teeny weeny bit too small, but I actually like the way it came out.  The center is a daisy cut with the the Cricut and I used a cardstock with a white core so I could sand it and make it pope out.

Nail Art Inspiration

The Inspiration Challenge at SCS had a really awesome website that shows nailart, so much to draw from it is unbelievable.  I used another one of my scraps from my "stuff" box, the sentiment.  This has been hanging out for so long I am glad I found a place to use it.

Queen For The Day Challenge

How fitting is it that the Queen of Everything does the Queen for the day Challenge?  LOL.  It looks like it is a fairly new challenge, this is the first time I have seen it.  I decided I was in the mood to watercolor , not my best effort, but passable.  The flowers look pink but they are actually a plum.
