2S4Y and C4C6 Challenge

Just a quick post tonight. I am off to bed here soon. I've been up since 1:30 a.m. and am very tired. I wanted to get this card I made for Laura's sketch 36 over at 2S4Y . I have missed playing along with the sketch challenges lately and wanted to make sure I did this fun one. Here's the card I made. I used Heidi Grace's Halloween papers along with Quick Kutz embossed spider webb--Cuttlebug dots folder---and a 2" circle (8 of them to make the flower) origami flower and used black glass beads for the center. I also added black rhinestones as little accents. This is a card for the C4C6 challenge over at Crazy for Challenges. The challenge was to do a Thankful/Thanks kind of card. I used the stamps from Inkadinado and added some glittler glue to them. The saying was from Inque Boutique. This is so not me, but you know, I really like the simplicity of it. I've been working on a circle journal book lately and I'm almost finished so I can send it off this week to the first person. I am sooooo excited about this swap. I have always wanted to do a swap like this but could never find anyone who wanted to do it. The theme for my book is none other than "sketches"...I thought this would be such a handy tool to have on my desk to get inspiration from. I can't wait to see what everyone else has come up with. I'll post my book sometime this week. Well, have a great Saturday evening and I'll see ya soon!!!! Hugs from Charm City

Crazy 4 Challenges Sketch and Pizza Box Birthday Set

Happy Tuesday...Here's a new challenge site and I wanted to share it with everyone. This is their first week and it's a sketch challenge, the one posted below. If you get a chance pop on over and check out their blog and what the DT has done with this sketch. It's called Crazy 4 Sketches....

The card below is what I made for the sketch.

The birthday set below I made for our little one's friend (backyard friend as we call her) ..lol..They have been fence friends ever since they have been little. And now they are both in Middle School. She had an under the sea party this past weekend and this is the little set I made. I made a pizza box to store her little goodies inside. On the card and box I did the allegator faux technique. My first time trying this out. The mermaid was cut from Life's a Beach Cricut cart @ 4" and 5"...I added stickles to the hair, flower and little top and some glittery beads stuff to her tail.

You can kind of see the technique. It was abit hard to take a photo of it.

I also made the background paper using white cardstock, acrylic paints and some more of the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. After that dried I embossed the whole piece using the technique.

Well thanks for stopping in. I hope everyone has a lovely day. Hugs from Charm City....
