HM Bookmark Swap

I participated in the bookmark swap at HM yahoo group. On the front, i masked all images, incld. ribbons on the kite string! They are very small to make them as a mask! Then i used my MOST fav. Printworks Cloud template to make billow clouds. I did Paprepiecing on the kite's dots design. That took me a while too cuz some of those paperpieces are teeny-tiny!! I put those tiny pieces to Xyron. I put white flocks on the rabbit tail :-) oh, yes, i had to make 3 bookmarks, NOT only one! On the back, i stamped the sentiment. I chose these colors (light sky blue and yellow), to brighten the recipients day whenever they use this bookmarks! :-) I laminated them so that these will be sturdy. Hope the recipients will enjoy using it in their books! :-) ps. the white spot on the back is the flashlight from the camera, reflecting on the plastic lamination. I took the pic.without the flash but the color was a bit different from the real color, so i had to use this pic. instead...

Mojo 155

After going to nearby craft stores & having a couple of cold nights already, i got inspired by Halloween! Last year, i was RESISTING Fall to come...lol... this year, summer came a bit early, and warm (locals say "HOT"), so although i still luv SUMMER ALL YEAR AROUND, this year, i could accept FALL was near...lol.. I took probably 20 pics. for this card, in 2 days, in different times, with different Natural Lightings from the window, this card just doesn't show well on the pic. with these colors on the card...:-( I gave up. This is the best among more than 20 pics. i took ... I stamped 4 diamond shape stamp, to make a harlequin background paper, and heat embossed, as well as the gravestone on the tag, and the main image. I stamped spider webs & spiders but no heat embossing. I don't have a bat stamp but fortunately i had bat BRADS on hand :-)

PB Sat. Challenge wk117

... is a color combo of Purple, Cream & Brown! I haven't made a card with this Pansy image for such a long time! Saying stamp is Hero Arts. I didn't think Purple & Brown can go together but i'm glad i could make a card with this challenge :-) I used yellow stickles on the center of the flowers. Sentiment is heat embossed, attached with pop up glue dots, but can't tell on this pic. lol :-) oh, yea, the card stock color of main images are both CREAM :-)

House Mouse Monday Challenge #77

"Make a Splash!" is this week's challenge, and i thought of this image right away! I don't own this stamp but when i received it from my online friend, THE IMAGE WAS WAITING for me to make a card with it! lol! I used my now fav.Sakura Quick glue pen to adhere the light blue glitter from Stampendous for water from the shower., and in fact, it looks great, better in person! Those "water splashes" are stickers. I bought them to make a scrapbook page that theme was GUAM, to give it as a gift :-) and those were the leftovers from that project. I hardly use Stickers on my cards but this case, i am happy how the card was turned out, using those "splashes" :-)

EVE - 9898

I went to TARGET yesterday, and i saw the car with license plate of "EVE-9898"!!! I usually carry a camera wherever i go, in my purse, in case i run into something Interesting and can take a pic. of. Anyways, today, for some reason, i thought of bringing a camera. but i knew i was only going to Target for a few things, and decided to leave my camera... well, i was wrong! I saw this car, and i was very dissappointed that i didn't have a camera. Anyways, About 2 hrs later, i had to drive to downtown, i saw this license plate, waiting for the green light to go to the left, in the left lane!! and i stopped for the red light to go straight!! I thought, "WOW"!!! and this time, i had a camera with me, and while we both were waiting for the green light, i took my camera out from the purse, but then light for them changed to green, and this is the QUICK shot i took from the car.!! as it was meant for me to take a pic. of !! How often do you run into the same car on the main road, and, it is like 15 mins. away from the place i first spotted, 2 hrs later! Since i'm uploading this pic., i thought of another pic. from a couple of weeks ago. I parked in front of the bank, where there are a couple of spots, which is parallel to the bank's front, and this lady parked right in front of me, almost the same time. And i saw "4EVER-WVU"!! That time i had a camera with me, and i took this pic. (i graduated from WVU). Anyways, these are the pics. I though those were funny, esp. to me!

EIC #103 - 2nd card! :-)

My second submission to this week's challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge is the ladybug Bling ring from the Caged Fairy Shop. I used Posh impressions ladybug stamps (outline stamp & solid stamp), heat embossed, and placed the gems where the ladybug's dots are, just like on the pic. :-) Flourish stamp is from Autumn Leaves, and heat embossed too. Layering Black solid paper has Shimmers in it. So is the paper for the sentiment/happy birthday. Colors of black stripes background paper looks a bit grey cuz of the flash, and the colors of RED card stock & Ribbon looks a bit orangish but they are more like Cardinal dark red.

EIC #103

This week's challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge is from the Caged Fairy Shop on Etsy. I got inspired by her store more than one. I even wanted to make MORE than TWO, being getting inspired by her things!! Unfortunately i don't have those Trendy OWL stamp... I have seen Alice In Wonderland STAMP collection in online store somewhere but i don't own those either, BUT i thought of Tim Holtz' rabbit stamp when i saw this pendant picture, and i decided to make a card with this pendant in mind, first. yes, i made 2 cards for this week's challenge! :-) When i make cards for "challenges" on blogs, i hardly check what i win, BUT WHEN i get inspired RIGHT AWAY from the themes and pics. , i just make cards! :-) I had hard time, choosing which pic. to pick from this store this week! LOL! I'm uploading 2 pics. for the same card on this post cuz i used perfect pearls, and one card isn't enough to see it on screen... i used perfect pearls on Black background textured paper & around the rabbit on white CS, using the same swirl stamp (Tim Holts also) and same color of perfect pearls; Blue Smoke. I colored the white CS edges with mementos' London fog color. Unfortunately the color isn't that great... the red CS i used, is really a dark Cardinal color red BUT all pics. i took show a bit Orangish color...:-( The ribbon has shimmer in it. I'm not sure when i'll be able to afford a better camera...lol...The Rabbit image was attached using pop up glue dots to give some dimention.
