StampInsanity Bookmark

Good morning! Today is Thursday and that means there's a new challenge over at StampInsanity. This week you need to make a bookmark. Not just any bookmark though, you need to include "hardware". I'm counting the jumbo eyelet and brads as my hardware :). When I found out we needed to make a bookmark I knew I was going to make it a Twilight theme. At first I was thinking Edward or Bella or even both. I decided that I wanted something Team Jacob, in the books Edward is my man but in the movies I'm Team Jacob. Yes I said it, lol. Sorry the movie Edward isn't "my Edward" but the movie Jacob is a lot better on my eyes. Back to my bookmark :). I colored Jack (or in my case Jacob) to go with this Basic Grey DP that I inherited from Mindy or April (sorry girls, not sure which one of you I took this from). I didn't want to put too much on this bookmark because I wanted to really use it. I figured less would be more in this case. What do you think?

StampInsanity Challenge 9 and Release Day

Today is the release of "What the Heart Wants" and "Simply Supernatural" Sentiments by StampInsanity only available for purchase at Stamp Happens.

This is my second card as a Guest DT member for StampInsanity. This week the challenge is to create you own background paper. Well with these fabulous images it wasn't that hard for the wheels to start turning. I remembered I've been hanging on to this SU set that belongs to my friend Jill. I thought it would be perfect for the background. I stamped it several times then distressed the edges of the card stock with my scissors. Then I crinkled it up to make it look really worn, when I was satisfied I inked up the edges with a couple of shades of grey ink. I kept the layout fairly simple because I wanted as much of the background paper to show as possible.

Be sure to check out the rest of the gurlz creations.

My First Guest DT Spot featuring Mystic Beauties

This month I am a guest DT member for StampInsanity, so I get to strut my stuff with the Groovy Gurlz. Today is also the Debut of Mystic Beauties. Don't these gurlz look fun.

Challenge #8 is to make an easel card. I decided to use Pearl Princess for my first project, boy was she fun to color. I printed her out on Georgia Pacific card stock and I'm actually surprised I was able to color her so well. I've tried a few images before on GP and they ended up a complete mess. I think I'm finally getting the hang of using my Copics on GP card stock. I can't believe I even manage to color the background black. Sure if you look closely you'll see where the black bled out a bit, but all in all I think she looks pretty cool. Well I may have gone a bit overboard embellishing this card, but I love the end result.

So Beth made me this cool watermark (see it on card above). I love it but I don't have any fancy software to put watermarks on my pics. After putting the watermark on my card the colors got washed out a bit so I decided to leave the rest of my pics without the watermark, sorry Beth :(. I think this way you can see the crystal effects on the black pearl a little bit better as well a better take on the colors. I used the sketch from .

Friends Having Fun Recipe Challenge

Hello again, this is my post for Friends Having Fun's First Recipe Challenge. The recipe is below.

Theme: April Fool's!

a shiny application (stickles, glitter, shimmerz, glimmer mists...)
3 different patterned papers
hand cut your patterned papers!!!!(my hand cut DP are Maddie's dress, Zeke's

shirt and pants)
a funny quote, phrase or sentiment

This challenge is being sponsored by:

The winner of this challenge will

win a $10.00 GC to the store!

Wow, what a cool recipe, huh? The toughest part was the hand cutting 3 different DP. I decided that if I used Zeke and Maddie I could paper piece their clothes. I then had to find DP that would look good on Zeke. Ok so I cheated a bit because I colored over Zeke's pants. If you look closely though you can see the DP :). I'm not sure if my sentiment is funny but it was really funny to me when I made this card, the hubby and daughter didn't get it though.

I very carefully gave Maddie fangs with my black Copic. I put glitter glue all over her dress and added the black bling for my sparkle.

I hope you get a chance to join us at Friends Having Fun. I also hope you get a chance to visit the rest of the DT.
