Newspaper & Coffee

The challenge at the Hoedown this week is to use  Hambo Stamps' Newscaster digi and one of the four sentiments to make a project that incorporates newspaper on your creation. Since I missed the Hoedown last week, I didn't get the Newscaster digi so I used Hambo's Coffee Girl digi. Afterall, what do you do while reading the morning newspaper? Drink coffee! I remembered that I had an insulated drink cup that I bought at JoAnn's Fabric, so I decided to make a tag for it.

I used the newspaper as a background for my image. I wanted the image to look like a newspaper picture so I colored it with W1, 3, and 5 Copic markers. To make it stand out against the background, I fussy cut the image and attached it to black cardstock and cut it out again. I finished it with a large eyelet and some wide striped ribbon tied with twine. Now all I need to do is to put a Starbucks gift card inside of the cup and I have a gift ready for when I need it.

Be sure to check out the Hoedown. It's fun to play in the challenges each week.

It's a Party!

Halloween Skelly Blog Hop

It's time for Bombshell Stamps' monthly blog hop. You should have arrived here from Meredith's blog If you didn't, head on over to the Bombshell Stamps Blog to start the hop at the very beginning. You don't want to miss any of the terrific projects!!
This month's theme is...Halloween of course, but with a twist! You had to include skeletons or a skull in/on it somewhere. You could use any of the numerous Bombshell Stamps skeletons, or you could create your own. You could also create a Day of the Dead project for this hop. We were encouraged to make a decoration as opposed to a card, but it wasn't mandatory. I've been making lots of Halloween cards so I decided to make a candle and a matching mini card.

I used the skull stamps from Pirate's Life and Speed Shop. I added some silver cord and some gems to give it some BLING! I embossed one of the skull stamps to make a tag. I used some DSP with silver skulls on it as a background for my mini card, added an embossed skull and Voila! I have a Halloween gift  ready for one of my ghoul friends!
Your next stop is Milo's blog. If you get lost, hop on back to Bombshell Stamps Blog for the blog hop list. Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday Mom!

A big Happy Birthday to my mom. She turns 90 today! We're having a family party for her on Saturday. We're so lucky to be able to celebrate this special day with her. I love you Mom!

Birthday CARd

I saw this layout in the SU catalog and thought it would work well with one of Bombshell's classic car sets. I still have my friend Mary G's sets that I borrowed ( I promise to return them soon Mary!) so I made this card using Speed Shop by Bombshell Stamps. I decided to stamp the car on colored cardstock. I used SU's So Saffron. Then I shaded it using my Copic markers and blender pen.

This will make a great masculine card when I need it. I think I'll try using my Copics on some more colored cardstock. I liked how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Think Pink Challenge!

As Ms October I am hosting the monthly challenge for Bombshell Stamps. My challenge is in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October. I challenge everyone to THINK PINK ! The challenge is to use the color PINK somewhere on your project. Your project can have a breast cancer theme, but it doesn’t have to. Just be sure to use PINK. Here's my challenge card. I used A Pirate's Life.

Be sure to check out the challenge and see all of the fantastic inspiration created by the Bombshell girls. You will be amazed! You can find the thread at the forum here. Hope you'll grab some PINK and  join the challenge.
