Invisible Band Aid People

I think I got four birds with one stone. LOL.

- Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com WT390: make something that would make someone SMILE!

- I'm using items from August Studio Calico Summer of '69 kit.

- Challenge with friends to use something I have not used...Inked up SU! Word Play for the first time!

- Challenge with friends to be inspired by Pinterest. (http://pinterest.com/pin/45528646203445217/).  I pin things & forget to use them...especially the craft inspiration items.  So, after getting the ways to use it challenge, I went to Pinterest for my inspiration!

And...I came up with this!

 
Doncha think this would make sone who feels bad...S M I L E ?  It makes me giggle.
 
I did not have any band aid colored band aids that I could use on this project...those had antibiotic stuff on 'em...and those are usually slippery. So...these are invisible Band Aid people. LOL.
 
As is my usual practice, I made two cards.  BUT...they turned out different cuz I forgot to trim the other side of the DSP panel.  I was glueing it down when I discovered that.  ahem...a tad bit late to fix.  So...presenting version #2.


DH likes version #2 better cuz I put the eyes on crazy. LOL.
 
Hope today's projects made you S M I L E !  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Farm Friends

This card, I made several years ago.  If I'm remembering correctly, it was a case of something Gina K Designs related. 


The patterned paper is actually Basic Grey paper - from the Blush collection and it coordinates very well with SU! Real Red and Close to Cocoa.  The designer paper covers a piece of chipboard from SU!'s On Board Accents.  The animals are from an older SU! set that I no longer have.  The animals were colored with markers and the sheep has Tulip White Puffy paint on it.  According to the sticky note inside the card, (which, by the way, doesn't list the SU! set, but lists all the other supplies.  LOL) it appears the card used to have a prima flower or two and some fibers...I think it looks fine without 'em.  They sure weren't on there when I pulled the card out of the card drawer. 

Thanks for taking a trip down the memory lane with me.  It's fun to look at projects created a while back. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Scrap Card

Do you need a great card idea to use up your long scraps?  How about these?


Purty, aint' they?  I wanted to make some Christmas cards.  I had some Fruitcake strips & scraps.  Basic Grey Fruitcake, that is.  I got the idea from Andrea Walford, a Canadian SU! demonstrator.  I made eleven cards in all!  Whoo hoo!  It took ALL freaking day!  OMG!  Who would've thought it would take all freaking day to make 11 cards?  It was fun and I really really do like the result! 



There were lots of combinations of paper patterns to choose from to mix and match.  I think some of the cards look like a cottage roof!
