THANK YOUR TEACHERS AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN # 145

Good morning, it is Tuesday and time for another fun challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. This weeks challenge is "Thank Your Teachers" and the Sponsor is BUGABOO STAMPS. Jodie Mackrel is the owner and she has created lots of fabulous images.


My project this week is the wonderful little notebook. The DP is from K and Company. It is made using scraps from a mini that I am working on. I used several Spellbinders dies and a junior legal pad. The cover is made with card stock from Gina K. And as you can I see I created a pocket so the I could keep up with small bits of papers. On the front cover I used and image from Bugaboo Stamps and colored it with copics V01, V20, V17, V04, V91, E11, E13, E15. The stamped sentiment is from Michaels $1 bin. I punched it out with a EK success punch. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make a little decorative strip to go under the spellbinders, the corner bling is from Recollections.  I received the butterfly from my friend Terry in a swap that we recently did. I really like how this tuned out and I am going to take it to work and use it on my desk. I did glue to legal pad down. Well that is it for this post, I do have some challenges.

WOYWW # 203

Hey all, I can't believe that it has been so long since I joined in the fun over at The Stamping Ground, with the lovely Ms. Julia who is in Spain on vacation. I have missed all of my friends "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday". I have been creating but not having much computer time. So, now I am back and can't wait to get started.The 4th anniversary of WOYWW is coming up really soon and I know there is going to be an ATC swap. I have started working on my ATCs and that is what can be found on my desk at the moment. I will also be attaching a link to one of my lates videos where you will be able to see some new projects that I recently finished.


My desk, you can see several ATC bases that I have sprayed with dylusions sprays and the stamp that I think I will be using.

 
I got some of the new Prima stamps and can't wait to start to play with them. I actually got 5 of the 6. They are just so cute.
 
I have been busy creating even, though there has not been any computer time. Here is a link to a new video I just posted. It shows an altered match box and a pin cushion that I made for a one on one swap. Click here.
 
Well, that is it for me, I can't wait to get out and visit some of the wonderful desk that I have been missing. Ladies, I will be making about 15 ATCs for trading. So, If you are interested when the time comes, just send me an email at the email address on my side bar and I will be glad to swap with you. I think the swap is going to be week 208. So it is coming fast.

FOCUS ON THE SENTIMENT AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN # 143

Good morning, it is Tuesday and that means it is time for another challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. This week the challenge is "Focus on the Sentiment", that means that the sentiment has to be out in the front. Please read the rules on the challenge blog and follow them. Our sponsor this week is My Creative Classroom.

 
The sentiment that I have used is from Tim Holtz, and it is one that I had to have.
 
All of the paper on this card is from the scrap file, I DP is My Minds Eye, the cardstock is Recollections, the flower is the last from an old prima set. The butterflies are Recollections. I inked the edges of the spellbinders die cuts with Tim Holtz distress ink, faded jeans. So, that is it for my project, very simple but, I really like it. Please join us this week at Tuesday Throwdown it is going to be lots of fun.

SPRING AT BROWN SUGAR #34

Don't you wish that spring would just get here and kick out this cold weather. I do, it has been raining and cold for days and my bones have been complaining loudly. But, at Brown Sugar Challenges this week the challenge is spring and our sponsor is "DIGI DARLA" they have some really cute images and you should check them out.

I colored the image with copics E11, E13, E23, E09, Y32, YG11 and a Martha Stewart glitter pen on the bows and the butterflies, the butterfly punch is just a small one from my stash.. The papers are from Basic Grey Wisteria paper pad. I have had this pad for several years and the piece used makes me think of a field of flowers. The card stock is Recollections and the metallic blue is Bazzill. The stamp is from the $1 bin at Michaels. The bling is from my stash.
