It is Monday night and for the first time in months, I am not going to night school. It is so weird. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that I'm done.
I kinda miss it...
Now I have no one to talk chemistry with...
It's a little sad, actually.
Another card for Diane's challenge. I love this sketch...I think it is so versatile!
I used the SU retiring set Mix & Mingle. This was one of those sets not used very much. I liked it because of its retro feel, which looks GREAT with Cool Caribbean, my absolute FAVOURITE colour!
I was feeling Hallowe'en-y today, and came upon this sketch challenge from Jen at Pieces of Me and thought it would make a perfect Hallowe'en tag.
I used the Booglie Eyes set from Stampin' Up! There is a lot of detail you can't really see, but I embossed bats in the backround (Bitty Boos Too...SU) and added black ric rac along the bottom and middle of the tag. I also used my slit punch to create scallops then punched holes in the scallops. Used the Hallowe'en designer paper. Ribbon used: pumpkin and black grosgrain (SU) and black and white polka-dot organdy ribbon (unknown).
I came upon Diane's Sunday Sketch Challenge, and I'm always up for a challenge! We had to use ONE retiring Stampin' Up set only, no other set, so I chose Glam Girl because a) it is one of my favourites and b) it has multiple images and sentiments, including You Make Up My Day, which cracks me up every time!
Cracked Glass is one of my favourite techniques, and it's easy to do, though a bit time consuming!
1-stamp your image.
2-colour your image, if necesary.
3-cover your image with Versamark.
4-pour on the Ultra-Thick Embossing Powder (SU Glassy Glaze).
5-heat with a heat gun.
6-repeat steps 3,4 and 5 TWO MORE times...(total of 3 times).
7-place image in freezer for 2 minutes.
8-remove from freezer and IMMEDIATELY bend the paper. It will crack.
9-rub the image in Chocolate Chip ink, making sure to get ink in the cracks then wipe off the excess with a Kleenex.
See, easy peasy!

Was feeling so creative last night after my chemistry exam that I whipped up 5 cards! 3 using my TAC bug set and these 2 using CTMH!
I think this Friend To Friend set is so cute! I used Chocolate, Bamboo and Desert Sand cardstock (CTMH) and Cranberry, Chocolate and Desert Sand ink (CTMH). I stamped and cut out the flowers and added the chocolate and bamboo brads (CTMH). I LOVE this card!
Used Close To Cocoa and Old Olive card stock (SU) and Always Artichoke (SU), Bamboo and Desert Sand (CTMH) ink. The sets are Jungle Leaves and In The Wild (CTMH). I stamped and cut out the leaves and popped them up with pop dots.
I was feeling so creative last night that I whipped up 5 cards!
I love the brown shades together. I think these worms are so cute, and I LOVE the way this card turned out! I used the Wormest Wishes sentiment to make the back panel and used the sentiment from Bugs & Kisses (SU) as my main image. I stamped and cut out the worm and popped him up with pop dots.
This card used a sketch from Splitcoast Stampers. I used the double rectangle punch (SU) to make the ribbon holes and weaved the Red Gingham ribbon (SU) through.
I love these colours together!
Well, this was my last chenistry class. I'm going to miss it. I wrote my final exam. When everyone was done and left the class, I went back in and asked Mr. Kfoury if he could mark my exam so I could see my mark (cause I had a feeling I got a good mark!)Well, I ended up getting 86% on the exam (5 wrong answers) and a final grade of 93% I am very pleased!
So my adventure in night school is over. I hope Mr. Kfoury is still here in September (he's thinking of moving to France) and he teaches Biology, cause I would love to take his class again!
Di Hickman has her Wednesday card sketch up! As usual, I didn't follow it exactly...
This card is 8.5"x5.5"...my first time using this size. I used the stamp sets Clowning Around and It's Your Birthday (SU) and the colours Pixie Pink, Gable Green, Tempting Turquoise and Summer Sun. I love this colour combination. The clown's pants are cut out and popped up with dimensionals, and I added 2 Green Galore brads as his buttons. Now I know some of you HATE clowns, but I just love this set from last year's summer mini and I hope it makes it in the new catalogue!
