Shopping Our Stash Challenge

Hi all!!

Another fun challenge over at

Shopping Our Stash

This week, it's all about the sentiments.  No other stamped

images, just a sentiment.  I decided to pull out one of my stencils

I've never used, and sponged on some Blue Bayou ink.

Can I say that I love how this card turned out?

I hope you do too!

Thank for stopping by today.

Recipe -

Stamps: Reverse Confetti Lots to Say

Paper: PTI White

Ink: SU Blue Bayou, Versafine black

Misc: Rhinestones from Pretty Pink Posh

EAD Blog Hop

What all of our projects will have in common is that we are all using EAD Goodies and our challenge is:

Card Concept Challenge

These weekends seem to go quicker and quicker,

don't they??  Even lost an hour of sleep this weekend

with daylight savings time!

I spent a lot of time this weekend working on some

ATC's that I needed to get done for an ATC

trade over at SCS.  They were so much fun!

I'll share a little peek at the bottom of this blog post,

let me know what ya think.

I found a little extra time to play along with the challenge over at

The Card Concept

I used a new set I recently got from Hero Arts called

Need Caffeine

I went with some SC veneer stars and some washi tape

at the bottom.

What a fun quick card!

Here is a little peek at my ATC's that I made

for the swap:

This was definitely a fun swap, but I don't know

that I'd sign up for 5 spots next time!  :)

Thanks for stopping by today.

Virginia's View Challenge Card

WARNING: MANY MANY SHEETS OF WATERCOLOR

PAPER WERE RUINED DURING THIS CARDMAKING PROCESS!

AS WELL AS A PERFECTLY GOOD MANICURE!

Ok, so I'm thinking outside my box and trying some new and different

things.  I saw a new challenge blog Virginia's View and wanted to play along

with the watercoloring challenge.

Here is the inspiration pic from the challenge blog -

Looked easy enough, all the cool girls are playing along,

yeh.....I GOT THIS!!!

pffffffffttttt..............

Little did I know, the mess that was about to transpire, right

here on my kitchen counter!!!

I used some of my SU reinkers to do this.  I cut my watercolor panel

and then got it fairly wet with a paint brush, and then dropped some of the reinkers

onto it.  From there, I can't really tell you what I did....it was a craft free-for-all!

There was also black ink involved, which now, also resides under all of

my fingernails and on the kitchen counter.

I embossed the sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Lots to Say and topped it

off with a few pearls.  Now I'm off to try to get this off of my fingernails and

get them repainted.

Thanks for stopping by today!
