365 Cards Days #141 and #142 and 2s4u
Day #141- Super Sketchy Sunday
Day #142- Movie Monday- Here are the specifics:
Let the Twilight movie inspire your card: I have never seen the movie so I went with what I knew. The movie is a love story involving vampires.
Use a black card base or black background: I used black as my base and accents
patterned paper where the dominant color is red: The background patterned paper is
mostly red and the other paper has red in it.
embellish with either glitter or rhinestones: I used red rhinestones on the top right square and glitter on the black base flower
Anything else goes
This card also qualifies for 2s4u sketch #31
I decided that this card would be perfect to go along with a copy of the Twilight book or DVD. I have a friend who likes vampire movies so she may enjoy it...
Have a Scrappy Day!!

365 Cards Days #139 and #140
Yesterday's challenge on 365 cards was to create a card using the paper PEIRCING technique. Luckily I just cleaned out my scrap stuff and found my paper piercer which had never been used. I used Cosmo Cricket paper and I don't know where the doggy stamp came from...
Today's challenge was to create a card using paint somewhere. I got out my chipboard letters that I bought at Big Lots for $1 for like 100 of them. I painted them bright green and added some sugar coated glitter. I used all scrap paper on this one!
Have a Scrappy Day!!

365 Cards Day #138
Woot! Got this baby done early! Today's challenge on 365 cards was to create a card with a quote on it. I remembered some quotes I recieved in an image swap and went searching. I think the set is called "Funny Guy"? It has some really funny quotes. I found this quote and went searching for an image to accompany it. When I saw my poor boo-boo dragon, I thought he looked like he lost a few times. lol. I used scrap patterned paper and swiss dots embossing folder on this one.
Have a Scrappy Day!!

365 Cards Days #136 and #137
I think that posting my cards every other day is working best for me so I may continue to do it.
Yesterday's challenge #136 on 365 cards was to create a card using the colors black, white, and red. I made one card that was stretching the rules a bit. Then I decided that I didn't like it anyway and created another one.
Today's challenge #137 was to create a card by binding something. When I saw "Bind It" as the challenge title, I thought of my newest toy, the "Bind It All"! I bought the bulk discount wires from Bonnie's Best and, as the Zutter website states, they have less rings on them than the Zutter brand so you end up with three on the end. I used those "leftovers" on my card. I adhered my patterned paper onto some salvaged cardstock and adhered hot pink paper onto the inside. I used a snowflake shaped brad on the round tag and stickles on my snowmans little heart. I also used blue and white polka dot ribbon to finish off my binding.
Have a Scrappy Day!!
