Tagged

I've been tagged by Chat aka nitestamper from Me, My Stamps and I. I recently found her blog, and now it's one of my favorites. Make sure you check it out.

Here is how it works. I'm supposed to tell you 7 (random/weird) facts about you. Then it's your turn to tag 7 other people and let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

I got this tag a long time ago, so let me see if I can come up with something different this time.

1) I am completely obsessed with Desperate Housewives. I refuse to miss an episode.

2) I am 5'11". Sure does make it hard to find pants long enough.

3) I normally start decorating for Christmas right about this time. Last year I did it before Halloween. It was pretty funny that we had carved pumpkins on the front porch and the whole house decked out in Christmas.

4) My belly button is pierced, and I have a tattoo on my back. I used to have my tongue pierced too (very very painful by the way) , but I had to take it out a long time ago for work.

5) My husband and I recently decided to start riding bikes to get in better shape. I never realized how hard it was. The last time I was on a bike it was the kind you pedal backward to stop. Now I'm lucky to make it to the end of my driveway and back...but it is a long driveway, lol.

6) I hate cooking real food, but I love making deserts.

7) I hate glazed donuts. They are so sweet they just me me feel sick. They only kind I like are the plain chocolate ones. I hate filled donuts too.

Since it seems like pretty much everyone has already been tagged, I'm not going to tag anyone. If you haven't been, conider yourself tagged.

In the Spotlight Z fold card

This was for Beate's weekend sketch challenge #25. The challenge was to make a z card. It's just a 4.25X11 piece of cardstock folded in half, the half it it pulled back to the main fold. I just got to play around with In The Spotlight. My best friend let me borrow it(Thanks Caroline!)
I think my main piece on this card is petty crooked, along with birthday. I think happy is a tad crooked too. I guess I just can't stamp straight tonight.
I stamped the background in Wild Wasabi stamped off for a lighter look, but you can see at the bottom on one flower I forgot to stamp off first, lol.

-Stamps-In the Spotlight and Priceless
-Paper-Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, and Whisper White cardstock; Cutie Pie DSP.
-Ink-Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and Groovy Guava.
-Accessories-Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon and Rhinestone brad.

Season of Joy SC147

I made this card for the Sketch Challenge on SCS (SC147). I had to turn the sketch around a bit though to make the image fit. For the image, I just inked up with markers 'tis the Season JOY portion of the stamp. I thought it looked a little plain though, so I inked up the poinsettia's and stamped those above and blow the image. Then I just sponged around the edges with River Rock.

Recipe
-Stamps-Season Of Joy
-Ink-River Rock and Old Olive
-Paper-Whisper White, Real Red, and Old Olive; Dashing DSP
-Accessories-Real Red and Old Olive markers, Real Red grosgrain.

Another Snowflake Spot card

This card was for the DSketch1007 challenge for Fan Club Members on SCS. The sketch was changed a pretty good bit though. The circle was supposed to be much smaller (like the SU scallop punch) but I didn't have that punch when I made the card, or a circle to punch to put inside (and my circle cutter won't go that small). This sketch was also rectangle. The scallop circle was punched using the corner rounder. See my tutorial HERE.-Stamps-The Snowflake Spot, Seeing Spots, Snow Flurries, and Spot On Jumbo wheel
-Ink-Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky and Blue Bayou
-Paper-Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky,Blue Bayou and Whisper White; Cutie Pie DSP
-Accessories-Hodgepodge hardware, Blue Bayou and Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon and Ticket Corner Punch.
This piece of hodgepodge I've actually never used before. I have a ton of them because I've never found a use for them. The Pomegranate ribbon was run through first and tied around the inner rectangle, then the Blue Bayou piece was run through. I think it looks a little bit funny, but I'm glad I finally found something to do with that piece.

Yay! I got smilies now

I just got this firefox extension that I found that makes blogger posting look like this:
See all the smilies? How cool is that. THIS blog tells you how to istall everything. You do have to have firefox though. But seriously firefox is awesome!

Thursday Sketch # 5

Sorry I'm getting this up so late. I really need to start making the sketch cards the day before since normally I stamp at night, but I just never seem to get around to to it =).


I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. The picture looks pretty bad though. I was having a really hard time getting a decent picture of this card. My camera doesn't seem to like these colors.
