Just keep it rolling...

Here are some more for today... Getting my butt in gear!

I used this sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You... loosely My spin:
This is for day #153 at 365 cards. We had to use a journaling tag. This one is from Cosmo Cricket. I inked everything. I've been playing with my new Cuttlebug and Fiskars plates, so I had all these scraps that I'd already embossed. I inked them and pretty much just stuck them on the card. I even inked the buttons! This didn't photograph very well. In real life, it's pretty cool and fairly odd! Lol

And the bonus sketch from 2 sketches for you:

my take:

This one is such crap... lol! This is for day 152. You had to make a flap on your card. I don't know why, but I really don't like things like that. The scallop is a flap that lifts up to show an orange Clemson paw print on a navy background. I made this for a friend of mine. This fall we'll have known each other 10 years. The Clemson theme is an homage to where we met.

Last but not least... day 151 "YOU CAN DO IT!" I've never even watched the Waterboy the entire way through, but I can't seem to say that without making the Rob Schneider voice. Am I the only one? Probably. Anyway, I used some Colorbok chipboard and some Cosmo Cricket papers, a fine tip sharpie and voila. Easy peasy!

Probably more coming from me today... so head back!

Argh...

Once again, I am sick! My birthday was Wednesday and instead of being out doing something fun... I was in the house drowning in Kleenex and... well, you can guess the other things I was drowning in. And now... now, I still have a cold (it's getting better), but my husband has caught the cold (so no taking care of me) and I got my period the night of my birthday. I know that's too much info, but seriously, I must be being punished for something!! LOL. I do have to say I am amazingly lucky in life all year round, so I guess I can deal with a bad week... couldn't it have been next week, though?

So, I'm hopping back on the card train. Want to make sure this reader is appreciated ;-)

Here's my sponging card: The arrow is a little 'off', but I like it anyway. The tag is from Cosmo Cricket. I used the raindrops fiskars texture plate. Broken china distress ink and then some random browns for the card. Anyway, tons of sponging, so challenge complete!

Now for last Saturday's challenge, I chose to scraplift Gloria:
I love everything about this card and I thought Cosmo Cricket week was awesome! Here's my take... it pails in comparison, but it's not bad.

I think the flower didn't quite do what I wanted it to, but that's ok. Also, you can't really see my embossing on the white. It's another fiskars texture plate. I love working with them!

Typical...

Hey Ladies (and gents)! I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday.

Here's a pic of a baby lizard I found outside the house. Just remember he is on one book. His body is about as long as my middle finger. These things are everywhere. They seem to finally have learned not to come inside the house after the cat killed half of their population. I've never seen a little one before, so I had to take a few snaps. On to today's challenges... I loosely based my card on this kitchen sink sketch:

I love their stamp sets! Here's mine:

I couldn't get this picture or the colors right... Oh, well. This is for 365 day 138 and SPCC color challenge (kiwi, chocolate chip, baja breeze or aqua, and deep raspberry). I added some yellow, but it was obviously necessary for the cake! My quote is from the 50 cent song, "21 Questions." Typical suburban white girl rockin' my gansta' rap. LOL. I'm not too thrilled with this, but I still love the quote and might try this again sometime. If I were business minded, I think I would make some stamp sets with semi-irreverent sayings... for "wrong" sense of humors like mine.

Oh, and if you haven't checked Pandora out yet... DO IT NOW!

You can create your own radio station. It's awesome to be able to combine Counting Crows, 50 Cent, Anne Murray ... whatever your eclectic taste is. It's awesome! Trust me!

p.s. I found someone else's blog that said they hated blogger's spell check and I agree... It doesn't recognize lol, scrapping, gangsta'... come on, blogger get with the times!
