It's All A Little Spotty!

Guylou's Inimitability:  I See Spots!

GUYLOU'S INIMITABILITY

We have a fun challenge over at Guylou's Inimitability this week!  Spots!  Thats right, ladies, spots.  So go ahead and whip out those Swiss Dots and Circles embossing folders and create something that amazes us!   All of us have some "ugly" spotted pattern paper that we have shoved to the back of our stash and now is the time to recognize that you are a creative force to be reckoned with.  No paper, no matter how ugly can get the best of you!

Here's my project!  I don't own any ugly papers!  (LOL)

I really like step cards.  The are fun to work with and are a great platform to showcase other techniques and folds.

Hugz,
Chana

GONE!

IMAGE BY GUYLOU'S INIMITABILITY

When Guylou sent this image to the DTs, I remembered how I used to sit outside my house waiting on the taxi to take me to the Airport or Train Station.  My family couldn't understand why I didn't want to wait in the house.  Now, in retrospect, I think that trips didn't seem real to me until I was "out of the house."  It always seemed as if things always happened while you were still in the house...usually things that stamped cancelled all over your plans!!  People don't dress up to travel anymore!  Pity

Wide Awake!

IMAGE BY GUYLOU
GUYLOU INIMITABILITY

Hello, Cardies!  Well, the long summer break at Guylou's is over and the team is back in full force!  I was delighted that Guylou found my work interesting enough to ask me to continue my tenure with her team.  I am so happy to be able to continue on a team with so many talented artists.

Guylou spent her time away from "blogging" changing her residence, vacationing, and creating some really exciting new images, including the one used in my project.  I called this wide awake, because that is what my daughter would always say when she fell asleep studying.  I would say, "Stace, honey, you need to go to bed.  You were asleep."  She would always respond: "I was wide awake, Momma! I'll never get this done if you keep waking me up to tell me I'm asleep."  Today she is the Corporate Controller and Vice President of Finance and Accounting for the 2nd largest Asset Management Company in the US!  So, maybe sleep learning really works! (LOL).

Hop over to Guylous and check out what my teammates have created for this challenge.  Oh, yeah, the challenge.  The challenge is - "An ABC Primer".   Your design should include.  Apple Red, Bling, and Charms!  What a fun challenge!  I may have to steal it for Jackson's Digital Expressions.  Seriously!!!

Make A Wish - Guylou's Inimitability

IMAGE BY GUYLOU'S INIMITABILITY

Good Morning, Cardies!  My teammate, Kim, over at Guylou's Inimitability challenged us to create a CAS card using Kraft Cardstock.  Although I know it is very popular in crafting, I don't own a lot of Kraft paper.  You would have gotten quite a giggle watching me destroy my studio looking for a pack of paper I just "knew" I purchased at Michaels during one of their sales.  It did not help that my DH was standing there with this little smirk on his face saying, "which sale, Hon?  The Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Weekend Sale?  Last week, This week?  I'm just trying to help jog your memory. Oh, I have an idea, why don't you look at your Credit Card Statement...that should help!"  I cannot believe that I have been crazy in love with this man for 43 years!  Must have been something I ate! :D)

Anyway, I deported DH from my studio, found my Kraft paper and then spent two days unable to come up with a design.  Guylou just gave the team a wonderful collection of new images (she is so generous) but nothing was coming out right.  Finally, I decided that I would just make a really simple, basic card that I could give to one of my staff who just had a birthday.  She likes anything with "fairies" and I thought this would be perfect!

TAG YOU'RE IT! - GUYLOU'S INIMITABILITY

Image "Alexandra" by Guylou's Inimitability

Hello, Cardies!  I am so late with this post, it was supposed to be up on Wednesday!  My great friend Roxann, over at Guylou's Inimitability, challenged us to create a tag large enough to feature an image.  Since I like "messing" with Roxann, I just scaled down my ballerina to fit my tag! (LOL)  I actually used two tags, one cream and one aqua!  By the time I finished adding embellishments though, you can just barely see the edge of the aqua tag peeking through!   Of course, all my followers know that this is a lot of stuff on a project for me.  I am a minimalist by nature, but I wanted to see if I could pile all this stuff on without going into CAS withdrawal. :D)

Helllo, Cardies!  I was responsible for the Theme at Guylou's for our current challenge. One of my favorite songs and movies is "Hello Dolly" and I thought it would make a great challenge.  Guylou has five images that I wanted to use for this challenge, and narrowing it down to one was a challenge in and of itself!!  I love the Leah series and this particularly image personifies "Hello Dolly!  I used a mixture of Liquid Pearls and Studio Glitter Glue to create her "sequined" gown.

Materials: Neenah CS, dp from scrap, Hygloss Paper Lace Doilies, Prima Flowers, Spellbinders Label #18, Martha Stewart Punch "Doily Lace Trim", Copic Sketch YG11, Hampton Art Studio G Glitter Glue.

ALL ABOUT SHOES

Digital Image "Lotus Goes Shopping" by Guylou

Leave a comment here and ou could win this darling digi. There will be multiple winners. You must be a follower to win. 

Hi, Cardies!   Well, I have another shopping card for you!  This one is an image from Guylou's Inimitability.  Our Challenge Theme this week is : Create a Monochromatic Card.  I decided to use "Lotus" as my model.  I think she looks pretty chic all decked out in her blue and grey.  The papers are all from my stash.  I was going to paper piece her skirt with the polka dot dp, but I liked it better as a panel, although I think the polka dot skirt would be pretty cool!  The pearls on her blouse, handbag and handle of her shopping bag were made using Ranger's Liquid Pearls "Baby Blue".

Thanks for Peeping! Chana
