TSG28- FUN WITH CHIPBOARD

THIS WEEKS WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE WAS TO USE CHIPBOARD. I USUALLY USE PREMADE CHIP BOARD PIECES SO I WANTED TO MAKE MY OWN FOR THE CHALLENGE. IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE EASY TO DO AND GAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DEPTH TO MY PROJECT. AFTER I CUT OUT MY CUP FROM A CARDBOARD COASTER I PAPER PIECED THE COLORED PIECES TO THE CUP AND ADDED A COZY SO THE CUP WASN'T TOO WARM.LOL!THE SPOT WHERE I MADE THE COZY HAD A PERFECT SPOT TO ADD SOME BLING! A LITTLE MULTI COLORED STAR.I JUST BOUGHT THE NEW ICICLE BORDER AND IT SEEMED APPROPRIATE- LIKE MY COFFEE WAS MELTING THE ICE.I DECIDED TO ADD THE STEAM AS AN AFTER FACT SO IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I HAD POPPED UP MY COFFEE CUP!THANKS FOR THE GREAT CHALLENGE. I REALY ENJOYED USING IT. TAKE CARE ! THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! LOVE YA!

NEW /OLD CARDS

  I AM REALLY LOVING THE OLD CARD STYLES THAT YOU SEE AT CHRISTMAS, SO I BOUGHT A BUNCH OF DIES AND BACKGROUND PAPERS AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE MAKING THESE CARDS A WHIRL. I LOVE THE USE OF LACE, RIBBON, GLITTER AND EMBELLISHMENTS.

THIS CARD HAS A SNOWFLAKE TRANSPARENCY PAGE. I FIND STICKING THESE ON A CHALLENGE WITH OUT SEEING THE GLUE SO FOR THIS CARD I USED GLUE DOTS THEN  PUT THE PEARLS IN THE CENTRES SO YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.I REALLY WANTED TO USE A STICK PIN BUT NOTHING I HAD MATCHED BUT I CAME ACROSS A BROKEN ON THAT HAD AN EMPTY SPOT AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A PEARL STICK PIN.I ADDED THE SNOWFLAKE AS IT SEEMED TO NEED SOMETHING AND THIS IS HOW IT ALL TURNED OUT NOT QUITE OLD BUT NOT QUITE NEW.

THIS CARD PRETTY MUCH MADE ITS SELF THE PIECE HAD THIS FANCY WINDOW AND THE GIRLS FACE FIT PERFECT.THEN I POPPED HER OUT ADDED SOME RIBBON A GLITTERY MESSAGE AND IT WAS DONE.OH AND A POINSTTA WITH A RHINESTONE MIDDLE. BLING IS  THE THING!!!

THIS BIRD TRANSPARENCY IS SO CUTE IT DIDN'T NEED MUCH ELSE TO MAKE A CARD.I ADDED A FEW BRADS SOME BACKGROUND PAPER AND RIBBON AND IT WAS DONE.EVERYTHING LOOKS SO COMPLICATED BUT IS REALLY QUITE EASY! WELL ITS BEEN FUN!  SEE YA LATER ! LOVE YA!

VERVE SKETCH CHALLENGE WITH A TWIST

OK I HAD TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WEEKS SKETCH CHALLENGE ON VERVE. IT WAS TO DO THIS LAYOUT  BUT USE THE CRACKED GLASS EFFECT FOR YOUR IMAGE. SO I DID THE MOST AMAZING COLOR JOB EVERYTHING WORKED SO PERFECT AND THEN I COVERED MY IMAGE WITH CRYSTAL EFFECTS AND PUT IT IN THE FREEZER FOR A DAY. NOW I SWEAR I READ THATS HOW YOU DID THIS EFFECT BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT.IN MY FREEZER THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THIS OOIE-GOOIE MESS THAT HAD RUN ALL OVER MY FROZEN FOOD AND THAT WAS NOT DRIED WHATS SO EVER. SO HENCE THAT IS WHY MY IMAGE IS NOT CRACKLY. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE READ THE TUTORIAL THAT WAS ATTACHED AS I WAS WAY OFF ON THE PROCESS(NO CRYSTAL EFFECTS OR FREEZERS?) SO WAS I DREAMING CARD STUFF AGAIN OR IS THERE A TECHNIQUE OUT THERE THAT CALLS FOR THESE THINGS WELL I GUESS WE'LL NEVER REALLY KNOW! LOL!THANKS FOR STOPPING BY ANYWAY! LOVE YA!
