I so love this Sugar Rush set from STAMPlorationshttp://stamplorations.blogspot.com/ ! I saw the sundae image and all the word builders. I thought I would only use the sundae image but then I saw the doughnuts. I can not pass up a chocolate covered one, but these are vanilla with blue sprinkles. The top paper is cut at weird angles. I stamped the doughnut image and colored it with a sand Copic marker. The vanilla frosting is pearl tulip paint, The blue sprinkles are glass glitter. The sentiment goes around the paper saying "I never met a calorie I did not like." I had to just stamp the a from the an word. A little baker's twine finishes the card.

Now, are you ready for some ice cream humor?

Ionic bond

Using Ionic Bond from Unity Stamp Company, I saw this nuclear symbol and imediately thought of the show the Big Bang Theory. I love that show and Sheldon with is selfish narcissistic personality just makes me laugh!! It is funny how they can use such big words and make silly jokes.

The color theme at Unity Stamp Company Bloghttp://theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.com/ is blues and purples.

I used Try Stamping on Tuesdays sketchhttp://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/.

Crafty Gals Cornerhttp://craftygalscornerchallenges.blogspot.com/ has a sweetheart theme and you need to use a heart. I created the background using the dipping technique with Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers and Dusty Concord DI. Then, I have never opened my Pearl Ex, and used translucent violet to create a shine. Well, I wanted more shimmer...this is an electrostatic attraction we are talking about. I ran my Versa Mark pad on the card leaving spaces that would be dull and shiny when embossed with clear embossing powder.


I created the background by stamping "Our Ionic Bond" many times. Then I paper pieced by adding the hearts that were punched out of the background paper to the spaces between the background stamping. I also added three of them to the nuclear symbol. My scrap box held the paper for the card and colors for the banners and backing of the nuclear symbol.

Steampunk

Yesterday, I went to JoAnne's to get an elegant writer. While there, DCWV paper stacks were on SALE!! $3.49 each for a 4x6 or 6x6 paper stack. I do not call this a "deal of the week", I call it a "steal of the week"!! The paper stack I am using today is Tattered Time. I am also going to use the Mojo Monday Sketch.http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/
I used Tim Holtz's die to cut the gears. Black Soot DI was put on the edges of the papers. The sentiment is Stamplorationshttp://stamplorations.com/ Bold Sentiments and I think I might just wear this set out!!

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is hosting it's a guy thinghttp://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/
Let me tell you, if you are looking for paper(like I didn't have enough), this is the week. I also picked up another Mariposa, Mango Frost,Travel stack and Latte stack. Had to cut myself off there but there were more to pick from!!

Photo Op

Is there anything you have that brings back memories more than photo's? I love to go through my photo albums and look at how my boys have grown. It is fun to see how styles and decades change throuh life. Today I thought using Sketch Saturdayhttp://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ would work perfectly into a photo op card.

Well, I could not pass up a good picture so while my brother and I were cleaning, we found an old picture frame. We thought it would be a perfect photo op! I think the camera had a problem because there is a lot of white hair in the pic!!

#I'vebeenframed

There are three thing on cards that make me laugh everytime. Flamingos, moustaches and eyeglasses. Why there would be a flaming pink bird is beyond me. But I love them. Moustaches come in all shapes and sizes. Men sport them with their own flair and style. And eyeglasses, a necessity in life for a lot of people have become really fun. They are blinged out, colored with designs or your basic black!! So, whenever these elements are used on cards, it instantly hits my funny bone and I laugh!

The sketch from Retro Sketcheshttp://retrosketches.blogspot.com/

just screamed eyeglasses!

Then, Words 2 Scrap Byhttp://words2scrapby.blogspot.com/2015/01/w2sb-challenge-13-youchoosethewords.html

has a #chose your word challenge. So, because it is eyeglass frames, I decided to chose #I'vebeenframed. What a fantastic pairing the sketch and the hashtag word. My funny bone has been hit because I just laugh at this card!

I am going to enter this in the Craft Stampers Take it, Make it challenge.

Speaking of being framed, my grandson, Riley, has been framed!!

Dancing with the Stars

Today, I was getting some fun mail ready to send out and I spyed a film strip embossing folder that looked lonely. I was thinking of what to use on this sketch challenge and then the idea hit me.

I inked the folder up, not to carefully, because I wanted some smudge in the strip. Ran it through the Cuttlebug. The strip on the card base and it looked like a wall. Perfect backdrop!! Making some splatters...if anyone can enlighten me here on splatter making, it would be appreciated. I ended up with three large dots and a shirt full of black specs!! Then the image from the STAMPlorations Vignette Ever After was embossed and cut out. His feet were placed on the bottom of the film strip to create the wall/floor effect. A few hearts were added and it is ready to enter into the STAMPlorations bi weekly sketch challenge.http://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2015/01/bi-weekly-sketch-challenge-25.html

I just found the Stamp Crafter Magazine Take it Make it challenge http://www.craftstamper.blogspot.com/2015/01/take-it-make-it-challenge-all-new-for.html and would like to enter it there.
