"Kickin' It For Michelle" Card Drive

When I saw Michelle Oatman's story my heart went out to her so

I joined the card drive, which you can find over at

A Spoon Full of Sugar.

Here's a little info from A Spoon Full of Sugar blog, where she happens to be a DT member. 

"We would like to share some sad news today, some of you may already know from her blog, our design team member Michelle had an accident about two weeks ago, which has left her with the loss of her right eye and a long road of recovery ahead. In an effort to cheer her up and raise awareness for what happened to Michelle we are holding a card drive in her honor. We have many generous companies and individuals helping us with this special card drive and we hope you will help too!

We are asking that everyone please create a card in dedication to Michelle and mail it off to her. We would love nothing more than to flood her mailbox with well wishes from around the world. Michelle has shared so much of herself on her blog and in her design team work and this is a just a small way for us to give back to her."

If you would like to learn more please visit A Spoon Full of Sugar. 

So, this is my little piece I'm sending over to her.  Isn't that the cutest image?  I got it from Whimsy Stamps and it's a freebie there so if you get a chance, please grab it and make up a card for Michelle.

And as you know me, I always make my cards dual purpose but my 2nd purpose wasn't as dedicated (no offence) as the first purpose.  I used one of my favorite blogs:

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #6

LLB's Week #6 challenge is all about photo inspiration.

I must say this was easier then my last attempt at photo inspiration.  I was soooo feelin' it this week!!  DANG NABBIT!  I just noticed the stripes!!  OH well...c'est la'vie!!  LOL!

This week I used 20s Evie as I did in my TBD post on Monday too but she is just soooo classy!!  I think she's my favorite from this new line of Lil Lolita's at Tickled Pink Stamps!!  I enjoyed coloring and got some inspiration from Jodie from Oz blog.  Her coloring is fabulous!

I added lots of little embellie's but my favorite is the chandelier baubles sent from my sister.  THANKS LADEE!!  I notice on the pic they are somewhat difficult to see but IRL they look fab.

As does everything else.  LOL!!

So would love to have you join us this week at LLB and please pop over to visit the other DT projects.  As usual, they have done a FABULOUS job with their creations!!

The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge #11

Challenge #11 is all about Ed Wood and his movies.  From what I understand they were always black and white so this week your challenge is to come up with a project "a la Ed Wood" using any image.  I love making black & white cards!  They are hard to take pics of if you add glitter tho so I've put 2 views in my post today.

Friday Sketchers #110

I saw this image on one of the DT members blog a week or two ago and HAD to have it!!  Sometimes I get stumped on images for guys but what beer luvin' guy would pass up Heidi from Victoria Case?  It's for my BIL - snicker.  

I used Friday Sketchers sketch (you can see below) and added some Liquid Applique to the beer foam, which I think you can actually see!  I even added some sparkle but it's sooo white that it didn't show up.  Darn.  

Inside the card I teased my sister about not sitting still long enough so I could finish drawing her legs.  AAAAA ha ha!  She's gonna kill me!!  Thankfully she has a great sense of ha-ha!!

Stamps:  Victoria Case "Heidi"
Paper: Bo Bunny "Paradise"
Embellishments:  SU buttons, Scrapper's Floss, Moxie (I think) Quickutz alphabet, Liquid Applique and misc glitter.
