Tellen's Place

Okay I got to Tellen's place while blog hopping and immediately fell in love with the challenge and not only do I get a free digi (wasn't quite sure initially what this was, since most people normally say they are digi scrapping, so many scrapbooking lingo to keep straight) to play with but I also get to play tic-tac-toe.

 

Since I have never painted a digi before I made 4 copies, I had some Studio G fresh chalk that I bought from J when they were on sale for $0.25 didn't know what I was going to do with them or what you did with them but I bought them any way, my reason was they were cheap and in scrapbooking section so I should need them. I had a hard time getting the skin tone they way I wanted after 2 tries got the skin somewhat right but then I had nothing to get the shade of the hair anywhere close to where I wanted which result in a trip to M since I had a 50% off coupon (probably just an excuse). In the art section I picked up a box of 100 Fibracolor Markers for the grand price of $12 after discount I felt they were worth a short and the colors worked beautifully, did not soak through the paper and went on smoothly.

I had the coloring about where I wanted (well to the best of my minimal artistic ability anyway) so I decided to cut it out (just love to cut things out with my cute little Cutter Bee scissor, this is a must have for any crafter) but accidentally cut the jump rope by the loop which now meant I was picking ribbon, so go down or across. I had no clue what dew drop was, did a goggle search and still wasn't sure so when down, ribbon-punch-button. For some reason, I couldn't figure out what punch was, even though a had  my row of punches looking right at me then I finally had a light bulb moment. So decided on the Martha Stewart landscape punch which I bought from M on clearance but never used. So punch is set, ribbon is a go and my digi is painted looking pretty with a button as a buckle so ended up with this hope you like it. Also submitting this card for the ABC-Challenge blog for N= New digi, punch, chalk & color pen and Creative Belli Blog - Ribbon use for the jump rope.

  

So now that I have done 2 cards, I am absolutely in love with making them, so will definitely be doing more.

Thanks for stopping by.

Simple Me Giveaway-Scarlet Lime Kit

Donna at Simply Me is doing a Scarlet Lime February Kit giveaway, hop on over and take a look.

Grand Winner at Practical Scapper

My LO was the grand winner at Practical Scrapper Pattern Paper Challenge, I was so surprise but extremely excited. New to scrapping only 3 months but loving every minute and it was nice to know that I am doing something right. Practical Scrappers Challenges are fun and so easy to combine with other challenges so go on over and have some fun. Finally got my blinkie to work.

Practical Scrapper's Challenge this week is to use a die cut machine so using the Bigshot and the Sizzix Flowers and Vines decorative strip I made some leis for Paoa Kahanamoku, many people have been to Waikiki beach, taken a picture by the statue and still don't know who he is, now you do, so next you are in  Waikiki don't forget to give him a lei. Also going to enter this in the Scraproom Blog Challenge - Lots of flowers and in Flutter by Wednesdays - Butterflies or Fairy in project

 

Butterflies were made using Sizzix Butterflies and Vines decorative strip.

So after making my first card yesterday, I think I am now hooked and will be doing more.

First Card

Very first attempt at making a card, boy is this so much harder than doing a LO, I will be submitting this card for a couple of challenges just because it is my first and I want to make it count. The Sketch is from Mojo Monday, really love it,

 

 

Am also going to submit the card for Paper Sundaes 3rd Challenge - Valentine, Lexi's Creations - Valentine Challenge up your heart #13 - Valentine , Corrosive Challenge #49 - All you need is love, Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Valentine/Love,

The cardstock and ribbon is Cosmo Cricket, the heart is inqueboard colored with Colorbox Paintbox Magenta, the stamp is Inkadinkado, bling is K by Marcella also use Marvy LePlume II pens., the red thingy (not sure what it is suppose to be) is Brenda Pinnick

The LO for Sketchy Thursday is done just in time, it turned out pretty good, this may actually end up being a two page LO will see. Really love the sketch, it is simple and clean which makes it to easy to interpret anywhich way you want. DH comes back from his business trip tomorrow which means scrapping time is going to be limited.

 

  

 Draw the surfboard on cardstock then ink with Momento Rich Cocoa and use Marvy LePLume II black to line it out, the inque board (just love this things) are painted with Martha Stewart dusk blue pigment ink, Autumn Leaves Clear Stamp Word Art and some generic blink. No PP but use some chalk on the cardstock for effect. Alphas are Angela Ash

 Stopped by Tuesday Morning for their big Scrapbooking sale and all the good stuff was gone, which I expected since I called the 1-800 number yesterday and the stores only had about 2 of the good stuff but found some cheap K&I flowers and butterflies.
