One Snazzy Chic

Step away from the rub ons!! Step away from the rub ons!! If I just keep repeating that montra maybe I will leave them alone for a little while!! Nothing wrong with being a little obsessed with a product right? RIGHT???

Today's Ways to Use it Challenge on SCS is to use stripes. Easy Peasy!! I have the perfect card to share, has not one but two types of striped Designer Series Paper. *Wondering if I get a prize for TWO types of stripes?*

I just love this little chick! I decided to "bling" her up with some Rhinestone brads and a snazzy shell of blue ultrafine cosmo glitter from SU! This is her "evening" look, should she need to dress more conservatevly, we could have paper pieced her shell with a matching DSP for a more "daytime" look!

Hope everyone is Blog Land is doing well, I'm off to get some rest before going to the movies tonight!!

Supplies Used:

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Summer Fun DSP

Stamps: A Good Egg

Ink: Black Stazon

Accessories: Circle and Scalloped Circle Nestabilities (love these things), Rhinestone Brads, Ultra Fine Glitter

Look Ma, no stamps!

Good Friday Evening! I just *had* to play in todays SCS Limited Supplies Challenge. The challenge was to "stretch" out of your comfort zone, not once, but TWICE!! YIKES!!!

However, I was able to come up with a card that took me far from what I normally do. Yes, you are actually looking at a card with NO STAMPING!

Oh, the horrors! Ok, it wasn't that bad, and I can mass produce like kids in a sweatshop! I'm thinking of making some more no stamped cards this weekend! Hope your night is well!

Cheep Talk

Got a couple of things to share with you tonight! Here is my card for today's Color Challenge from Splitcoaststampers. Today's Colors were Pink Piroutte, Perfect Plum and Kiwi Kiss. Not exactly the most challenging card, but it was quick. You will see why I didn't have that much time to create anything tonight....in just a minute. But first things first...

I know, kinda simple, but sometime you just have to make a simple card! I love the little added heart above the two birds, kinda turns them into "love birds"!

So, you want to know what my ribbon collections looked like before I discovered Ribbon Rings? Take a look...

And after.... WOO HOO, it's a storage MIRACLE!!! I ran out of tags, so I'm off to order more, but first, let's draw last night's BLOG CANDY winner....drum roll please!!!!

Wow, this is so cute! I love it! As for my hubby and I, he is not really the romantic type, so we usually just have a quiet evening at home after the kids go to bed enjoying each other's company - which is hard to come by these days with the too little ones!

Jennifer, send me your snail mail address and I will get a ribbon sampler out to you right away...keeping with today's theme and all!

Technique of the Day

Well if you mosey on over to Splitcoaststampers.com you will notice that today's technique is Dazzlin' Diamonds. This is one of my favorites, I love all the sparkle!! I made a Christmas card in the non-traditional colors of black and white, I just think it's classic. I stamped with black Stazon onto glossy cardstock, stamped entire image with Versamark ink and heat set with the Iridecent Ice glitter. Tied it off with a piece of black organdy ribbon and your done. It's a quick and simple card that looks awesome!!

Nothing good on TV tonight, so I think I will read some more of The Husband by Dean Koontz. I started it last night and am already about 100 pages in.
