Weekly Challenge

This week's challenge on ink-stains was to make a card with black, white, and one other color, plus a ribbon and an embellishment. This is a far cry from the zebra card I was thinking of making (with a touch of green) but, lo and behold, I have NO BLACK CARD STOCK!!!

DCM Dare

This week's dare on DCM is:

"Everything we buy has packaging, some of it excessive, some of it beautifully designed. Tags, labels, stickers... all sorts of bits and bobs that we can recycle onto cards.I dare you to make a card using a tag, label, sticker or anything else you can find, thats from packaging and would normally end up in the bin. Of course you can ink it, change it, distress it and add anything else you like!If you're feeling brave, I DOUBLE DARE you to make it a card for a man!"

So here it is. I have no idea where the tobacco label came from - nobody in this house smokes!

Mike's Purchases

Whoop-de-do. I drove an hour and a half, each way, for this. The cutting mat and rotary cutter (40% off) should improve my fabric cutting skills and the stamp was in the 1.50 bin. Of course, DH got all happy at Lee Valley and we made a Costco stop. Other than that it was gas, breakfast and lunch. How exciting are we?

Birthday Card

OK, here's a card. Tomorrow is Dad's birthday and I thought this would suit him - his den is sort of wolf themed (not in an OMG gag me with a spoon way). SU paper is Close to Cocoa, Ink on SU Weathered background stamp in Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip, Onyx Xpressions wolf stamped in Versa Fine Sepia.

Ok, So it's not a card ...

I probably shouldn't even be on the computer right now with all the rumbling and light in the sky. Look at these pictures! The first one is Dad's windmill taken from an upstairs west facing window, the second is facing south and the third is our lower driveway looking like a river. I hope DH isn't walking out of work in this!

Weekly Challenge

This week's challenge on ink-stains was to make a card with polka dots. Polka dots are FUN! The elephant is an unmounted from Onyx Xpressions and the quote is a stamp I bought on ebay last year and hadn't used before this.

As Requested

This is a work in progress. The first quilt I ever made was really kind of boring - making the same squares over and over again. That's why I decided to make a sampler quilt but I need to get my ass in gear and make more blocks so it will fit the Q bed. Pics of the individual blocks are available if anybody *coughKariecough* thinks they need to see them.
