Rainbow Sherbert Delight Summer of Color2 week 1

It's been a little over a year since I've been blogging, last year I really jumped right into blog land when I stumbled on this blog, Twinkle Twinkle like a star with wonderfully themed Summer of Color Challenges.  They are weekly challenges that are so much fun, you can choose to participate every week or not.

This summer the color challenge is inspired by ice cream flavors.
Yes, that's right.
I said Ice Cream flavors!
Week 1 Rainbow Sherbert.
Whatever project I choose to complete should have bold, orange, yellow, pink and touches of white.
Mine was a simple creation of a plastic key chain.

If you wanted to complete this project, go get you some "decorate yourself key chains" at Michaels.
Use alcohol inks to color the back of key chain. Allow it to dry.  Flip the key chain over, use Stayz On ink and stamp a favorite stamp on the front.  I used matte modge podge on the back to keep it all together.

Remember I'm hosting a silly little giveaway on my Facebook and Blog page.  You could win:

 The giveaway includes this cool key chain....Come on by HERE!! for a chance to win. June 12 is the deadline.  All you have to do is guess about a picture I've posted and the big reveal is Tomorrow!!

Tag-erfic Saturday!

Saturday was a beautiful busy day at my home.  Thank goodness I was able to postpone some things on my schedule to complete these tasks.  Here's just a bit of what I did yesterday, these tags were made for some Girl Scout volunteers who are earning one of our highest awards.  I can't wait to celebrate their achievements!

This picture I took off center so you could see what's behind the "curtain."  I tape up a piece of white paper to the front of my aquarium.  Just started doing that, so my Angel Fish is very interested in what I'm doing.  See him on the right?

 Additionally, as soon as I get to messing around the aquarium, Sookie, the kitten is there too.  She has decided she LOVES fish food too.  Whatever little sprinkles fall outside of the aquarium is her's!! It seems like she interested in this tag--but really she's going for the sprinkles of fish food.

Challenge Friday and a giveaway

Hello All!
This month has just flew by, it's already January 27th, which means YOU have exactly 4 days left to enter
this giveaway.  My cute mom turned 79 this month and in her honor we are celebrating with a BIG gift to you!  Whoopy!!!

Recently I found Card Patterns Blog and am so excited, cause I feel like I can actually DO some of these challenges. Ya'll know what I'm talking about, you see some challenge that ask for a red, white, puke green with purple roses layout.  Not that there is anything wrong with a red, white, puke green and purple roses layout. It's just that I am green with envy less talented than the woman that can ROCK that layout AND make you wish you were the ONE that was so clever. Darn you***fist shaking***
 Am I right?

Anyway....there was a sketch....and here's my work:

This started with a brown cardstock that actually was in a xmas 6x6 stack.  I used my brand new Cricut Expression to cut a scalloped circle. Then two full circles(one off white, one patchwork) I cut those two circles in half and put one side each on the blue scalloped circle.

I had a bit of an accident with my automatic tape dispenser at this time.  I wish I had a picture of that....next time...to be sure...there will be a next time!

Some vintage lace from a RAK I won, a little bright pink bling border topped with a butterfly border.
Stickles is my very bestest friend--I used it to add dimension on the patchwork and on the swirls of the butterflies.

 Black embossed "love" stamp from the dollar bin

Chipboard heart with a thick coat of stickles(my bestie) with a diamond bling brad to hold it in place.

Show me some love......

Red, white and Pink?

It's the fourth of July weekend and I'm working with pink.  Couldn't help myself, this week's  Summer of Color challenge is pink.  I am so in love with these cards....tell me what you think:

 I bought a set of blank cards with scalloped edges from Michael's.  From there I stamped my favorite chandeliers with some distress ink around the edges.

It's a little hard to see from this angle, but each card has some Martha Stewart Microbeads as accents.  I just love the microbeads and my local Michael's is clearancing them, so they are cheaper than normal.  I keep going back for more!!  I feel like a crack head...today I was hoping not to see the same cashier I've seen everyday for the last 2 weeks.   "uh, no honey, that's not a Michael's bag in my hand...."

Some people think I don't have any patience(ahem, Mr. Horn, I'm only picking on him because I know he's reading this blog!!), but check out this card.  It took every bit of concentration and patience to glue and apply the beads to this chandelier.

 I think these are my favorites because I just put a little dab of glue on these

 My "dream," "hope," and "believe" stamps get a lot of use.  I love a bargain and those puppies were only $1 a piece.  Yay me!

I just love this sentiment.....it looks so beautiful with this image.

Double sided sticky tape is fan-freakin'-tastic!!

 I added a stamp to the outside of the envelopes too.

Lovely, aren't they!?
