Another Crafty Ho Challenge...YEAH BABY!

Hey there! It's 6 am and I'm just sitting here to type up my post for my Crafty Ho Challenge card. Excuse me if I'm more than a bit silly and punchy at this point (That's an excuse...she's always nuts!!)! {Note to self: Smother the devil on left shoulder!}

Anywho... I made the card below using a new image from KAH-wink-E-dink! This is a WAAAAAAAY outside the box project for me, but I have to admit, I'm delighted with the way it turned out! (oh yeah thatta girl!) {Note to self: devil on left shoulder is a sarcastic turd!}

The Gothic Butterfly was a unique addition to the Crafty Ho Challenge to use fantabulous flourishes, lush ribbon, and sparkly bling! I thought it was an interesting contrast to use 'hard' and 'soft' elements together, so I balanced the tattered and torn vellum with a mesh-like ribbon, sewn on wired beading, along with the fancy border and teardrop rhinestones. I also used the pretty, soft pink, with the dark, harsher black to echo this idea. Pretty Goth/Emo hmm? (As if she knows what the heck that is!) {Be quiet or I'll let that Butterfly get you!} (ooh. so scared.) {Sigh...I'm going to bed now!}

Here's another quick bag tag I created. This one features Bugaboo Stamps Flower Blocks - Violet. For this project, I wanted to use up some of my scraps, while still making a nice tag! I love the texture of this ribbon with these colors. The tiny flower 'charms' are metal beads I found in my stash. I hope you like it!

OBG Thursday Post 1

Don't you hate those days when you have so many things you want to get done, but can never manage to cross even half of them off your list? Well, yesterday was such a day for me! I had planned on getting more cards done and posted after our very busy morning, but it just didn't happen! Rather than dwell on it, I think today will be another one of my ScRaPpY mOjO dAyS! I have at least a dozen ideas for things I want to create and I spent a bit of time writing even more down last night! So...today, I'm planning a 'home day' for my DD and I, so while she does her homeschool worksheets, I'll be happily making more goodies to share! Stay tuned, as I will be releasing more cards and project all throughout the day today! :)

Today is Oldy But Goody Thursday at Bugaboo Stamps! This it the day that the Design Team is encouraged to pull out their favorite stamps from previous releases and get creative with them! The card below features a relatively recent Bugaboo Stamps release - Princess Charlie! Incidentally, she is also the card I am using for my friend and fellow Ho, Kate's Princess Card Swap over on Splitcoaststampers! I hope you like my card! See you again in a little while!

ABaC Monday at Bugaboo Stamps!

Today is ABaC Monday at Bugaboo Stamps! I'm so excited that it is my turn to show you something else you can use your Bugaboo Stamps for - besides cards! Be sure to go over to Sandy's Blog and check out her ABaC too! It totally ROCKS!
This rather large holder looks sort of like an over-sized card, but it isn't! As you can see in the second picture it is a sunscreen holder! I think this is a cool little giftie to give to someone who is headed out to the beach or on vacation.
I also have to give my 4 year old daughter credit & kudos on this one! After I completed coloring this image, she decided to draw in the eyes while I was otherwise occupied. After I finished having one of my all-too-frequent 'internal-heart-attacks' ... I actually thought they looked great! What do you think?

It looks like my MOJO is hanging in here, so I'm gonna keep on stampin' and adding cards on as I make them! :-) I made this card using a wonderful image from Shelly's Images. This digi was drawn by Shelly's daughter Taylor, and it is available in the SI STORE in the Kidz Korner as a FREEBIE right now!

I made a full set of these cards for a swap, because my friend and fellow HO, Kate (Celestial Stamper) is hosting her Annual 4th of July card swap over on SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS! Why not head over there and check it out? Kate is an AWESOME hostess, and she has a few open swaps if by some odd chance, this one doesn't suit you! Go see Kate!

This card is apropro and may have been entered into the following card challenges:
