Challenges

I have been off the grid for awhile. It is time to get back in the grove and enter a few challenges. My friend EVE was here from Florida with her family for a couple of days and we had some time to do some crafting.  

    I love this new stamp from "STAMPIN UP" It is a doliy stamp. I found these pink coasters at Jo ann's I then stamp it with versa mark and embossed it with white embossing powder. I stamped the back ground with a light pink ink. I made this for a friend who is getting married this week end. I have more cards I will post later. along with a couple pictures we took while she was here.

Challenge #63 Foil

Well it's that time again. Time for the challenge over at http://www.sewmanychallenges.com/ This week it's alll about "FOIL". So Lets see what you can come up with.

I choose to use "Jovi in a tire swing". I didn't have ant foil & couldn't find any at Micheals. A lady there told me she had used tin foil. So I tryed it. I put tin foil over a piece of extra heavy card stock and then embossed with the wood grain embossing folder. I thought it worked out pretty good.

   The freebie this week is a beach sence. With everyone getting ready for back to school. This is such a great image to use with all those wonderful pictures you took during the summer. Besure and go by to get yours before it's gone. While there sign up for the news letter and yours will be sent to your e-mail each and every week.

Better late then never

   I know I'm way behind on posting this week. We got back late last night from the beach with family. What a wonderful time we had visiting and sharing all the wonderful blessings and some heart aches of the last year. Then I was back to work early this morning. So there it is my excuse for being late with this week's challenge.
   There won't be a blog hop this month. Angela is taking a much needed rest from new images. But we will be having weekly challenges still. Starting off this week with a  ANYTHING GOES challenge.

  I choose to use the image "MIKI MUMMY" I printed him out twice. Popped up the tumb stone and then popped up miki again. The moon and bats are from my stach which I picked up on sale last year after Halloween. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the side ribbon and placed confetti bats on top.    Be sure and go by to check out all the great cards and projects the design team have come up with. While there join us for the challenge . Who knows maybe you could be the winner of some great images. 
  Alswo don't for get to pick up the freebie this week. It is a cute snowman. I wasn't able to get around to using it this week but I will in the  future. Hope you have enjoyed this post and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with. Have a great week end and happy crafting.

Challenege #61

Challenge # 61 over at http://www.sewmanychallenges.com/ is all

 Cookies

 Use a cooking image to create your project.

I used the Miki images & covered an empty plastic paint can & filled it with baked cookies. I knew the people

I work with would love them.

I printed out one of each image colored each one and sponged around the edges. layered each one and attached to can using brads. The strip around the can is made using a new boarder punch from stampin up. then added some splashes of color with foam glittery cut outs. a few pieces of ribbon on the handles and you have a great gift for someone special.

I am kind of in a little hurry while I write this. Off to the beach for a few days. I will be checking in to see what all you come up with . I know with all your great ideas you can come up with some great stuff. So put on those thinking caps and let me see them.
