SS freebie challenge and FMS86

Good afternoon friends, I would like to show you my card I made with a certain friend in mind. However, I am entering this into 2 challenges.

Over at Smeared and Smudge they are having a month long “Freaky Freebie Challenge.”  (If you follow the link you can get your chance to play with this free digi stamp.) The image this month is from the “Chicks Dig Guns” collection. (Follow that link and you can see the entire collection.)

I am also entering my card into Freshly Made Sketches: challenge “FMS86″ this is what the sketch looks like:

Now for the deets on my card: I used a pre-made card from Micheal’s. Then I used a Flame embossing folder, that I just picked up at the Scrapbook Expo! I used Robin Hood Red ink pad from Stampin’ Up and rubbed it across my embossed white CS. I have no idea where that piece of DP came from? I used some Vintage Lace from Stampin’ Up! On the sketch it has a boarder punch at the bottom, well that is what it looks like to me. Looking at all of my boarder punches I decided on the goo punch w/ Red CS, I went a little macabre he he! I made the flower w/ shear glitter fabric and a heat gun, then added a SU jeweled brad to hold it to the DP. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. I popped up the senti with a couple of pop dots from SU. I colored my digi with Copics, and I used Silver Copics on the barrel, and Gold Copics on the one round she is holding. Remember I said I mad this for a friend? Well I thought it would be nice to send her a key-chain. I printed out the caption Chicks Dig Guns onto white CS, then I used Tim Holtz Distressing Paint daubers and colored right over the words, then wiped it off. I then used Crystal Effects to adhere the paper to Tim Holtz plastic charms.  The chain came from Micheal’s. I originally had the key-chain flat, but in the photo you couldn’t see it so I put one of the bullets behind it to prop it up some.

Well that’s it, if you have questions just ask!

Thank you for your visit today, and thank you for your comments!

RSD Altered Domino Pendent!

Good morning, I want to share with you a domino that I altered, just playing around with one of Rick St. Dennis images.

The name of this RSD digi is “Eat me, Drink me” (Follow the link to get yours.) I colored the image with Copics. I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks for the back ground. Then I used Crystal Effects to seal my domino. I added a White Rabbit charm and a Heart Key charm the I picked up on my Scrapbook store road trip w/ my step-mom.  I added “Velvet” glitter to the sides of the pendent, that I picked up on the same trip from Sparkle N Sprinkle. This glitter is soft and will not flake off. I used black cording, jump rings, lobster claw, and beads from Micheal’s.

I would like to enter my Domino Pendent into the following challenges:

Left of Center Creative Challenges: challenge “Use a digi and or LOC” (I have used a digi)

Whimsy Stamps Challenge Blog: challenge “#59 Anything Goes”

Hey for those of you who like Stampin’ Up! products, they have a “Retired List” out click here to see that list! (You’ll be glad you did.)

Happy Birthday Elise!

My friend Elise had a Birthday on St. Patty’ day the 17th! She has a thing for Fairies so I of course had to make her card using a fairy!

I have used Delicious Doodles digi stamp “Celtic Fairy,” “Shamrock Set,” and “Butterfly Boarder Frame.” I colored them using Copics and Prismacolor pencils for her hair.

I used “Gumball Green” card stock from SU, as my card base. The “Happy Birthday to You” is a rubber stamp from Stampin’ Up!

Here is a close up shot of the top of the card.

My Scrapbook Store Hop!

Good morning friends,

I am sharing with you all some of my photos that I scraped booked from my Scrapbook Store Road Trip I took with my Step-Mom Donna!

They provided us with this 6×6 album. And they are doing a contest for covering the front. I have submitted this! For my cover I use some DP from stash, the letters are from Stampin’ Up called “Morning Post Alphabet” (Follow the link to get yours.) I stamped them in SU’s Chocolate Chip ink, then fussy cut out each one. The 2 pointing hands are in the  “Morning Post Alphabet” stamp set. I colored them with Copics. The postage stamps at the bottom came off a package from Ike’s Art, she is in Greece so to me these postage stamps look really cool!! On the left: the rose colored chain is from Wal-Mart, the Post Card metal charm is from Scaporium. (On of the Scrapbook Stores on our trip.) The key is from stash. The metal frame in the center is Hodge Podge Hardware from Stampin’ Up! I colored it with a Copic marker, because it was to bright and shiny silver. The 2013 is from my label maker. The metal key hole is from Tim Holtz. I painted on 2 coats of Aleen’s Collage Podge, once it dried  I sprayed “Goosebumps” on top! I am addicted to Goosebumps. Unfourntly my camera does not do a great job of showing why I love this stuff!! But it leaves a bumpy texture, and shiny too!

This is our first stop, this store is “Scraporium” all the store’s give the first scrap page for free for doing the Hop, then if you want the 2nd page that goes with the 1st page we had to buy it for $2. On my second page I added a Pirate’s map colored with Tim Holtz’s Distress Paints. (That I bought at this store.) I used Delicious Doodles’ “Treasure Map” (Follow the link to get yours.) All of the cut outs and etc… was provided by Scraporium.

Then we were off to London and had tea with the Queen and Princess! This store is “Posh Scraps” and all cut outs were provided by them.

Then we got to go to Mardi Gras at “Scraps of Art” (cut-outs provided by them.)

Next Hop Stop was New York! The name of the store is “Whim So Doodle.” On the first page they let us use some Dyulsions sprays in Black Soot and Hot Pink. And we used two different stencils for the page. One stencil is the “Subway System” in New York, and then the NY sky line. The 2nd page came already sprayed, using a different NY sky line.

Here we are in Paris! (Same deal here, the cut-out were provided by the store.) We just had to assemble them all once we were home and got our photos developed. The name of this Hop stop store is “Violets”  this store is huge! They have several rooms to visit, so much awesome stuff to play with!

This store is in Orland and my mom got to join in on the fun this time! We even had some Mezcal Tequila with a worm!! See me trying to get the worm?? The name of this store is “Piktails” the ladies here are so super sweet!

Our final stop was Greece! The name of this scrap store is “Scrappy Boutique“  all the ladies were so nice at every stop we made! I now how so much stuff and now where to put it LOL! But a great time was had by all!

I added direct links to all the stores for your visiting pleasure!

Thank you for stopping by today and thank you for your comments! Stay Crafty my friends!
