Hi Everyone

It's time for a new DTBST challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs.  The theme this week is 'Metalology' - add some metal to your project.

Here is a look at my card.

Here is a closer look at the metal elements I have used, these are all from my stash and I believe were originally purchased from J's.

The image I have used is called Smooches - I cut out the image by hand and coloured her with ProMarkers.  The background paper is by Authentique.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my project.  As always I hope you will pop over to Sassy Studio Designs to check out the projects by the rest of the DT and join in with the challenge.

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 4)

Hi Everyone

Today I have my final 'hottie' design project for Terri over at A Scrap N Place - thanks Terri for having me.

So this guy takes us back to the early 80's, I was in my late teens in the movie theater drooling over this guy with my friends.

The background paper for this tag is from Authentique - I thought the map was just perfect for this adventurer.  Of course underneath his disguise he is really Michael the fourth guy stamp from C Thru The Woods, but that doesn't stop the ladies getting excited.

Until next time.

'Fortunate' (LTC - Stitchy Bear)

Hi Everyone

Time for a new challenge over at Love To Create, and this week we are being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps.  Our theme this week is to 'Add Some Lines' - I have to admit I was rather scratching my head over this one for a different way of adding those lines.  This is what I came up with.

This image is called 'Geisha Girl' by Alipeeps.  I kept the colour scheme to blues and grey, and used strips of paper to add some lines to the background.

The sentiment stamp is from my stash, originally purchase I believe from M's and the background paper is from K & Company.

As always I hope you will join us for the challenge, we always enjoying looking through all your projects.  If you are looking for some inspiration check out the DT's projects over at LTC.

Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 1)

Hi Everyone

Today I am the designer over at A Scrap N Place - as always Terri I am so grateful to be here.  So I have one question, what has gotten these girls so hot under the collar?

It's the new guy stamp Jeremiah from C Thru The Woods stamps.

Can you guess who this is?  How about a clue? (Sing along if you are as ancient as me!)

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days

Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days...

IT'S THE FONZ!

I had so much fun creating this card.  I used my Cameo to print n cut the image, and then coloured him with ProMarkers.

The sentiment is computer generated, and the motor bike is a file from Silhouette.

Pop into the store, and maybe you can pick up a guy or two of your own.  Terri is going to give me a hard time for that last sentence, but I meant 'guy stamps'!!!!!!

See you next time (if Terri will have me back!)
