BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE #24 AT BROWN SUGAR CHALLENGE BLOG

Good morning, I am so excited. I was recently asked to join the Design team at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog. I started playing there last year and it was always lots of fun. They were a fairly new challenge blog. But, everyone there is so nice and friendly. So, come on over and join us. You will be glad that you did. The challenge this week is Butterflies and the sponsor is Delicious Doodles, they have some wonderful images and also have a challenge blog. You should go by and check them out.

My image is called "Butterfly Kisses" and was colored using copics.E11, E13, E23, E53, the purple star jelly roll glitter pen and the atyou spica glitter pen pink. I also used the Momento marker, lilac posies. The DP paper is K and Company, the card stock is DCWV and it is from a new mat stack that I recently bought and I used a kraft card base from Recollections. The bling was part of my Christmas gift from my sister. She always knows just what to get me. I used the scallop edge corner chomper from We R Memory Keepers for the corners. The sentiment stamp is from a set Hero arts. It is one of those sets that has a sentiment for almost everything. That is it for this card. Please join us at Brown Sugar Challenges.

BABY SCRAPBOOK PAGE

Good morning, today I am back with a new post, this time it is a scrapbook layout. I  have so many baby pictures of my grandchildren and just not a lot of time to get the work done. The layout for this page was one that I did at a scrapbook class and it has been sitting in a box every since. I loved the technique of stamping with versamark ink and then brushing on Perfect Pearls (the colors are so gorgeous) and once you brush off all of the excess powder, spray with a fixative (finally figured out what that was and bought some at Michaels yesterday), let dry and the page is ready to add your photos and embellishments.

MY FIRST EVER SLIDER CARD

Happy Saturday and I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. I am and it has been a busy one. Out by 7 am to Walmart to pick up a few things for the house, back home work on a couple of cards. Back out to my Weight Watchers meeting, I was only up one pound after having to nerve blocks over the last couple of weeks, so I was quite happy with my self. Leave the meeting head off to Michaels for some more Bazzill cardstock, it is on sale this week for 3/$1. I did not have all of the colors. and it regularly sales for $.69 a sheet. Across  the street to Sams Club to stock up on my fruit and vegetables for the week and back home to work on cards a little more. My friend Pam says that I make her tired just listening to me tell her about my morning. Did I tell you that was all before 11 am. I was back home by 11:30. Oh well, on to my card.

This card was made for my DT position over at the Stamping Dymonz Scrap Shack it is similar to PCP and others. It is small and just getting started over the last year. I am having fun being one of the  moderators of  the card making group. Each week we make a different type of card and this week it is the slider card. The directions can be found on Splitcoast Stampers. I have to say that this is one that I had to try a couple of times. I was just not happy with my first color, I scored one wrong and it was off. and I don't think my slider is working very well. I will definitely be making another one in the near future. I do like the look of the card and it is totally different from anything that I have ever done before. You should try it at least once. Two things though, don't cut the half circle to low and don't cut it through the whole card. #2, when cutting the square notch to put the plastic, you should cut down deeper so the plastic does not show.

I look at these pictures and realize that I should have changed my white balance on the camera. It would have gotten rid of the blue tint and my brown would have look more brown instead of black. I really hate rushing to get things done.  I colored the image with copics YR14, YR21, E59, Spica glitter pens, peach, orange and chocolate.
