Retro Rain - June 26, 2011

The Corrosive Challenge this week is Slippery When Wet!  The theme of the card had to do something with water.  This digital image looks like a character from the 1950's, plus it is so humorous having a duck not wanting to get wet.  The retro paper came from a swap that I was recently in and I thought it was the perfect match for my Copic colored imaged.

Happy Mootastic Birthday - June 24, 2011

Mojo's Monday 196 sketch is the design used to make this card except the sketch is flipped since this is the smallest Oval in my collection.  I loved being able to use my doubleside Reminisce Cowprint paper.  One side had the cow print and the other side had the moo which is perfect to wish someone a Happy Mootastic Birthday!  I believe the image is from Whipper Snapper but this could be wrong since I received it in a image swap awhile ago.  Of course, I used Stickles on the balloons and glittered his black spots (which did not show up well in my picture).

Just Because - June 23, 2011

Today, I participated in two challenges on SplitcoastStampers, Sketch Challenge SC338 and Try a New Technique TLC330.  Distressing was the new technique to try.  I never realized how easy a technique it could be using Jim Holtz Distressing Ink Vintage Photo.  Pulling out one of my favorite stamp sets from MFT called Who's that E-Girl, took my imagination to a girl in college who lives in a 70's style decor and found the perfect couch (distressed) which is a little faded from wear but  for her apartment.  You can tell the couch is distressed because the green background paper is the original color.  All my designer paper came from SU and the Sketch Challege was perfect for the image!

Father's Day Gift - June 21, 2011

It is finally safe to post my clock that I made for my Step-Father Wayne.  It has pictures of both of his daughters and a picture of me.  He was thrilled when he got this clock.  It really meant so much to him.  I got the clock in a kit set made by a scrapbooking store that I came across in my travels called Picture2Page.  It was a fun and interesting project to create and thank goodness I had Photoshop to get the pictures just the right size.
