Embossing with Neat and tangled

Hello Sunday! I have been going non stop and I am so grateful for a Sunday to "weg out" as Izzy is so fond of saying. Randy is trying to get all of to a white sox game, but I'm not feeling it. I have little bit to decide, so we will see.

I finally got some time to play with the little tangles challenge of embossing. I got the fun halloween stamp set and it really needed to see some ink, so here it is.

I have no idea why I think of ink blending when I think of embossing, but I sure do.  Then I got the whole front done with the greatest orange background and Izzy my side kick said Mom, why would the moon be out if the sun was setting.  Ouch, okay bring the dark brown and black.  I had a lot of fun with it, which is what matters right?  I am also putting this in the simon says anything goes challenge.

Anyway I am off to decide how to spend the day.

It's a good life!

Avrey Elle Challenge

Well, I am excited to have time this morning to do a little stamping. I realized that I almost missed the cut off date for the Avery Elle challenge, YIKES!!! I only have two of their stamp sets, so it really made this an even bigger challenge for me. So after thinking about the inspiration picture below I went with the stamp set picture it.

I really liked the colorful biright lanterns on the top of the scene and I also gravitated to the party theme.  Here is what I came up with. 

 

there is one solid circle in the picture it stamp sent, so I used the correct side and the back to make the lanterns.  The let's celebrate is from paper smooches.  I just didn't have the right sentiment from the two stamps sets that I have, so I had to branch out to make it work.  I am also entering this into the simon says stamp challenge.

It's a good life!

My favorite pearl ex of the day

I understand that I am biased, but here is my fav of the day yesterday. This was the last pearlex MIM challenge card (unless I get more time today LOL!).  I used the three warm tones for the background.  I really looks impressive in real life. 

This is the winner for my Dad's farther's day card.  This is also going in for the Simon Says stamps anything goes challenge.

It's a good life!

Paper Smooches fun

What is it you asked that got me in my stamping room after 4 long uncreative weeks. Well it is the new Papersmooches stamps of course. I must say I adore being in the PS club. It is so much fun to see the images via e-mail and then getting them just a bit before everyone else.

You have to look at the inspiration picture from the PS sparks challenge site and want to go there to see the connection.  I used the blue and white colors and there was food in the challenge, so a drink would work right? LOL! This will also be entered in the anything goes challenge from Simon says stamps.

I have two more cards whipped up, but I think they will work better in the next week's anything goes challenge.  I musst admit that I adore the new sneak peak on Kim's blog on sundays. 

It's a good life!

I little late bragging

You can tell by the winter coat that this is a long overdue post. My Izzy who is growing way too fast, is obsessed with cats. In an effort to connect with her I found a cat show to go and check out this winer. There was a color contest, so we entered. Of couse we had to print the coloring page on special marker paper so that she could color the best way LOL! Here are the visuals.

Love the close up with the little eye in the background.  This was acutally the first picute and I had to bribe to get the one above.

Here is the shot at the show.  Who knew that Garfield would be there in the flesh!  It was a great day.  Do you see the huge bike in the background?  Yeah, that was the grand prize for the coloring contest.  Who do you think took it home?  Oh yeah Izzy the luckies girl in the world.  Hopefully her lucky streak will contiunue as we enter this cutie in the anything goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

It's a good life!

Pearl ex fun

Here is another fun MIM pearl ex card. It was my last one and the only one done on white. I like the look, but I am annoyed by the rays at the top. What is your opinion, I am thinking I should crop off the top of the card and mount it on a white back. What do you think?

Here is a close up of hte shimmer.

Yeah, I really need to lop off the top and remount.  This is also getting entered into Simons Says Stamps Anything goes.

It's a good life!

You...

This is such a fun set. I can't say that it gets enough love in this house, but I really do like it. This is going to be a father's day card for either my hubby or my Dad. Again, it is for the MIM pearlex challenge.

Once I got going with my small mix of colors I really went all out LOL!  This cuite will also be in the everything goes challenge from Simon Say Stamps. 

It's a good life!

Long time....

Pretend that is really the 25th LOL! That is what my last month has been. I had this cutie done, but didn't get it posted in time for the PTI blog hop. Thankfully it is also for the MIM about using peralex, so I am still in LOL!

I must say after playing along with the pearl ex, I think I am going to go get some of the other color families. Hopefully there is a good coupon for me to use.  The shimmer is fabulous!

It's a good life!
