Sorry I Suck and Challenges :)



Hi everyone! Well, this has to be some kind of record for me 2 cards in 3 days.  Have you ever had one of those days when you are just well...crabby at the wrong people?  My dear friend who works with me, was having a bad day...we were all having a bad day.  I was angry at another co-worker and snapped at my friend.  My friend, a very strong assertive woman, would normally have told me to shove it. However, on this day...she got emotional.  I would have much rather been told to shove it, so now I feel like a really tiny piece of dog crap on your shoe LOL.  So, I made her a card and hope it makes her laugh. 

The pattern papers are from Bearly Mine Designs, the vacuum cleaner image is from Graphics Factory (by the way you can download 5 images a day for free).  The face on the vacuum is of course from Peachy Keen. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
  1. Digital Tuesday-Use a Die Cut
  2. Papertake Weekly-Puttin on the Glitz (Stickles and Gems)
  3. Ooh La La-For Someone Special (close friend)
  4. Aly's Sunday Challenge-Bling it up ( Stickles and Gems)
  5. Creative Inspirations-Keep it Sweet and Simple
  6. One Stitch at A Time-Make it Pretty (Gems, Ribbon, Stickles)
  7. Miami Doodles-Flowers (Pattern Paper)
  8. Totally Paper Crafts-Clean and Simple
  9. Delightful Challenges-Get Punch/Use a die cut
  10. Crafty Creations-Use 3 Words
As always thanks to the Challenge Hosts and their Design Teams for all the work they put into providing these challenges.  Thanks to the Sponsors who sponsor challenges.  Thanks to Feline Playful for listing the challenges and Thank YOU for looking!

FlashBack Friday Challenge

Hi Everyone!  I found a new challenge and it's called FlashBack Friday. Basically you make a new post with a previously made card that fits their challenge.  A nice way to see where we were and where we are now. I originally posted this card in September of 2009. The image is from The Stamping Boutique. Check out my smooth blending/coloring job LOL. Still not great at it now, but I can see some improvement with a lot more to go LOL.  The challenge is your first glitter project.  I am pretty sure this was the first one I put on my blog.  It was also my first attempt at stickles LOL. Pop over and join the challenge!
