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

"Wood" You Like To Be In A Movie?

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.

This week we are sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps and the image I've used is 20s Evie from the new Fashonette line.  You can purchase your stamps at Tickled Pink Stamps and they are still on sale!!  Woo hoo!!  She is soooo adorable!!  

PRIZE ALERT!  PRIZE ALERT!  This week Kellie is offering the winner both 20s Evie (who you see here) and 30s Lylah.  Oooooh I love her too!! 

Don't forget to check out this week's inspiration at TBD blog.  The ladies did FABULOUS projects this week!!  AGAIN!! 

I also used CLP Challenge Blog's latest sketch.  I just found it from blog hopping and OMG they are fabulous so am entering this card into that challenge.  I will definitely keep using them wow!!

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.
Punches: MS border punch
Ink: Colored With Copics and Momento Ink

Papertake Challenge #44

Ok so I've decided that my cards are and always will be multi-functional cards.  It just motivates me to make more of a kick-a-- card. YEEHAW!!  (FYI - I live in cow country - always have always will)  Whether it works or not, that's what I'm going for! 

SO!!  A fellow DT member put out a request for us to make a card for a little boy down in the US who got hit by a car on his bike.  She says "It was pretty bad and at first they thought he was going to be paralized but thank goodness for those bike helmets b/c he's now expected to make a full recovery. He's at home in a lot of pain with a broken jaw now." 

I thought what a better time then now to finally use CHRISTIAN of Simply Betty Stamps.  Isn't he adorable?!!  Oh just what a tween boy would want to be called.  LOL!!  

I also needed inspiration so grabbed the sketch below from Papertake Weekly Challenge.  All supplies are listed below.  I'm LOVIN' this Bo Bunny "Paradise" paper line.  It's nice to use for mens/boys cards (which you'll see tomorrow too) for something different instead of blues or browns all the time.  I think I've colored every fishing, hunting, atv'ing stamp out there so this was a nice change! 

I made this card as "embellishment simple" as I could since it had a long way to go in the mail.  That was hard.  LOL!!

Stamps:  Simply Betty Stamps "Christian"
Paper: Bo Bunny "Paradise"
Embellishments: Misc brads and CB dots folder
Punches:  MS border punch
Ink: Colored With Copics and Momento Ink
