Happy Hip Hop Hangover!

Geez, I have been a bad blogger this week! Hope these projects make up for it! The first project is an altered DVD case. It began as one of those free tax software Cd's that come in the mail. It was an aweful green color, so I removed the cover, sanded it down, and painted the edges pink. I covered it with scraps and used the Belly journaling block for the title. I plan on adding a CD of baby shower pictures for my sister-in-law!

The next project is a Jr. legal pad cover that uses some fun paper by DCWV called "Once Upon a Time". I used stamps from the Quote Bundle Pack and Birdie Inspirations.

Happy Friday, I hope you all have a fun and creative weekend!

Mojo Monday week 86

Ok, so this is a little late... but I am really happy with how it turned out! The card was inspired by the cake seen here, for a VSN challenge. The Verve "Beautiful Kindness" swirl stamps were inked in VersaMark and embossed with white EP. The sentiment, from the same set, was stamped in Soft Sky. The pearl detail reflects the beading of icing around the cake layers. Thanks for looking, and I hope you're having a great weekend!

Look What I Won!

Check out the awesome Unity stamps I won from their DT member, Laura Williams! Everyone was giving out great blog candy during Unity's anniversary week, and I was one lucky winner. Laura sent such a generous assortment! Thanks! Everyone should check out her cool blog, http://www.lauralooloo.blogspot.com/. Have a great weekend, and look for projects using these stamps (oh, and the vast amount I've actually purchased recently!) soon.

A Quick Sketch Card

This card was made using the SCS sketch challenge 222. The cute Pink Cat Studios image was RAK'd to me by my friend Emily! I colored him using watercolor pencils and my blender pen. The Tiny Mosaic embossing folder and CM circle punches pulled it together quickly!

VSN

Here are a couple of cards I made during this past weekend's Virtual Stamp Night at SCS. The first card uses the spotlighting technique. Just some scraps, a stamp by Whispers, chalking, and watercolor pencils. The second card was to use only red, black and white. The stamps are from Unity's This is the Time set. I also used the Distressed Stripes embossing folder and some $1 bin ribbon.

A Color POP! for the Unity Blog HOP!

I just love black and white cards with a pop of color! This simple card uses the Unity April Kit of the Month, "Fresh Beginnings". I used the Sponged Sky tutorial from SCS for the background. Thanks for looking, and have fun on the hop!
