Biker Babe Birthday Blast

Once again I've made a card for one of my co-workers.  She and her husband do the Harley Davidson thing.  LOL  I make that sound like it's so cute...really, it's so cool!  ;)  For this card I decided to still keep it girlie for her.  I found this fun Betty Boop image free online.  I added the sentiment.  I made some fun stick pins and added a "charm" that says "Celebrate".  I added one rose and some gems.  I wanted a little more texture so I added some cheese cloth.  Not sure if you can see them, but, I also added some "tickets" from a punch I have that I punched some map from.

Thanks for looking!

Playing With Shells

Last night I wasn't feeling well...so, I figured instead of going out with friends I'd stay home in my craft room.  I looked up some fun new ideas and found these cool necklaces and a neat wind chime all made using shells.  I'm not sure where they came from, but I have all of these bigger shells I can't really use on my cards since they are so heavy...so I wanted to do something with them.  Here is what I made.

This was my first thing...  I decided to make a necklace that represents BSU's (Boise State University) Football Team...  I had to drill a hole into the shell, actually, I had to do that with all of the shells I played with.  I used a black sharpie and wrote BSU, created the "charm" to dangle added gems, went over the letters with clear nail polish and then added a football bead and a bow.

This next necklace I made I used a larger shell.  The butterfly I found at a garage sale.  I added the blue and gold to the wings then panted over that using a glittery nail polish.  I added beads and a chain.

This last one took a bit longer, there were a lot of holes I had to drill, plus using twine instead of metal...not fun!  LOL  I think this one is pretty self explanatory...Lots of shells, twine and some beads.  I sort of want to decorate the big shell...just not sure how I want to...any ideas?

Starfish Kisses

Tonight I was feeling the need to make a card...just because!  So, since it seems like it has been so long since I've used one of my many Bugaboo Stamps, I chose to play with one of those.  I used their fun theme which is this picture:

Then I used this sketch from Little Red Wagon's challenge:

I used several different DPs, some flowers, a glittery shell, some gems and a seahorse charm.  I was wanting to add some stickle glitter to her fin, sadly, I can't find it...I still have some things I haven't unpacked, just not sure where it all is.  LOL

Hello on a Tic Tac Toe

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy Designs the challenge theme is a tic tac toe board.  We are being sponsored by Fabrica Fantasy.  The pre-colored image I used was "Summer Lynx".  I placed this image onto some rainbow digi paper and added the word digitally as well.  I then printed the image out, I added some "stitching" around the image and added a couple solid colors of cardstock.  I added a bow and some gems, then decided to "pop" the image by added a butterfly on top of the butterfly with a pop dot, and made his head pop as well.

here is the tic tac toe board (I went diagonal):
