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!

Smile & Enjoy

I decided to participate in the 400th sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com.  It was "crafter's choice".  So I picked Sketch 379.  It is a great sketch to showcase some great designer paper from the August Studio Calico kit - Summer of '69.  I made two cards. 

 

No stamping what-so-ever.  I'm so not the frilly butterfly gal ok, but I love this paper. 

Here's a close-up of the washi tape stack + the stickers.

This is a stacked embellishment.  Took a label sticker + a large kalidescope sequin + a decorative brad. 

 

I love to make my cards in pairs...and I think this one is my favorite.

Adult Road Sign Game

OK.  Now that title...hmmm...didn't come out quite right.  Let's try that again.

Did you ever play a game as a child called the road sign game?  It's a travel game using flashcards preprinted with various road signs.  The object is to look for the road signs that are on your flashcard.  When you find one of them, circle the sign on your flashcard.  As I sit in the back seat of the '77 Malibu Classic with my brother, I hope to see more of the signs that are displayed on MY card than he does that are displayed on HIS card.  HAHA.  We do this on the way to Myrtle Beach and Kings Island.  But I disgress.

Mother's Day my husband  and my son took me to Ryan's for breakfast.  It was raining.  I had the camera out & was just taking pictures from the truck of the rain...and when we got to town, I noticed interesting road signs & stoplights...how much more interesting they were in the rain & wondered how the photos would turn out...

Take a look.

Let's move over to the RIGHT hand page.

Happy Mother's Day MOM!

FINALLY!  Time to stamp & create a card!  This is the Sale-A-Bration 2012 paper...Everyday Enchantment + matching ribbon + matching brads!  I sponged Soft Suede around each panel & layer for a vintage look.

I even decorated the envelope...sponging ink, stamping and adding an embellished tag.  The tag is adorned with a doily and lace ribbon.  I did not mail this card...I hand delivered it Sunday...before we went to see The Avengers!  whoo hoo.  :-D  My favorite Avenger...IRON MAN! 

Even the inside of the card is adorned!  The image was colored with SU! markers, huffed on & stamped on Very Vanilla.  The panel was sponged around the edge with Soft Suede.  At the top of the panel is lace tape.  It's hard to see...and it looks like magic tape...but it has a white lace design.

I added a counterfeit Washi Tape flag to complete the sentiment.  to my WONDERFUL Mom!

Here's a really good look a the lace tape!  This is the back of the card.  

I hope you had a moo'valous Mother's Day!  I thoroughly enjoyed my day.  Chocolate dipped strawberries, a beautiful card and a gift card + breakfast bar at Ryan's from the hubby...and then movies with Mom and Phillip!  Yup...moo'valous day indeed!

Thanks for stopping by!

Washi Tape

a.k.a. Japanese Masking Tape. 



My current collection...as of this post.  LOL.

I saw some cool flags in a Studio Calico kit...so I...ahem...counterfeited...I mean...made my own.  



Washi Tape Flags

Cute tins from Mish Wooderson's Esty shop keeps the flags and out of the way.

All ya need is toothpicks, solid color washi tape and if you want, wordy washi tape.  LOL

The supplies.

I plan to use them in my PL album.  See that blue folder...that's where I keep my PL memorabilia.  It's kind of fat right now...as I'm...um...more than a couple weeks behind.  BUT...I'm most definitely having fun catching up after a three & a half month hiatus.  Tax Season anyone? 

I'll be sharing more washi tape projects and some project life inserts / journaling cards / layouts.

Do you have any washi tape?  I purchased the solid colors at Target.  Each solid color has coordinating prints - big polka dots, stripes and little polka dots!  Good price too!  Four rolls for four dollars!  Can't beat that for washi tape...and it's pretty good stuff.  A couple rolls are K & Company SMASH tape...the rest I purchased from Freckled Fawn, an Esty shop that specializes in washi tape.  If you have washi tape, where do you get yours?

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