21st Century Pillow Book

Greetings! It's time for the July Hump Day Hop! This month, my challenge theme was "Paint the Town." So I wanted everyone to take out their paints and sprays and go nuts! I decided to make a few tags to be later used on other projects. I used a whole bunch of stamp sets for these 3 tags. I used Cherry Bomb , Man's Ruin , Tiki Party , and Girl's Ruin . I started by spraying each tag with sprays from Dreamweaver Stencils and Tattered Angels. Then I stenciled or brushed on some acrylic paint, and ended with stamping the images. Here's a closeup of each tag. I rarely use the devil head, and I thought this was a great opportunity to pull him out. Out of the 3, this is my favorite tag. No stencils were used on this one....just a fan brush to apply the paint. This will be cool on a scrapbook page I think. Now, to have a tiki party...... ;) This tag gave me some trouble. There's actually a car underneath that blue patch of paint. It didn't embo...

Happy July! I have 2 projects to share with you today. The first is for the latest Desert Islands Crafters Challenge , and the second is for Week 1 of Bombshell Stamps' Muse Monday. Here's the itinerary for DICC, who is sponsored by Saturated Canary this time around. 1. Let's Go Outside 2. Flowers 3. Step Into It (make a step card) 4. Rainbows 5. Clouds 6. Ribbon or Twine 7. Paper Piecing 8. Emboss It 9. Dies & Punches 10. Metal Embellishment I used Starla from Saturated Canary, and numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9 from the itinerary. I LOVE Starla. I colored her almost entirely with Spectrum Noir markers. I had to use green Copics for her top.  My sweet little sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I thought it was pretty perfect for this mini page I made. It's 6x6 in size. Now. On to Bombshell!!!! This month, the featured set for Muse Monday is Tiki Party . Did you know that each month, you can get the featured Muse Monday set...

Hello again! Today over at the Bombshell Blog , we are celebrating our June Wacky Holiday. This month, it's Name Your Poison Day. What's that, you ask? Allow me to share the following info, courtesy of Holiday Insights . "Name Your Poison Day is a day to make a choice. The term "Name Your Poison" is commonly used to suggest that you select among a number of options.This term has a negative connotation. The origin of this term is unknown. But, at the time, it probably referred to some unhappy choice. It is commonly used when asking someone what type of alcoholic drink they want. But, it is also used to refer to any choice of options, good or bad. For example, "Name Your Poison" may refer to selecting an ice cream flavor, a dessert choice, etc. Celebrate today by making a decision..... Name Your Poison. I used Calaveras Fiesta and Tiki Party from Bombshell for this card. I also used this month's Bombshell Sketch as inspiration for the card. ...

Greetings! At Bombshell Stamps, we like to enjoy the sillier side of things from time to time. Which is why we started celebrating wacky holidays. I get all of my info from Holiday Insights . And boy, do they have a lot of information when it come to out of the ordinary celebrations. This month, e are celebrating Sunscreen Protection Day. Because really, those bombshells need to keep their skin looking beautiful! Here's what I learned about the day. Sunscreen Protection Day is always celebrated on May 27th, but since we have Muse Monday tomorrow, we decided to get the festivities underway a day early. The day is said to bring awareness about how important it is to protect you and your loved one's skin from the harmful rays of the sun. This is even important on cloudy days. So always use SPF 15 or more, people! I used several Bombshell Stamps sets for this card. I used Hula Girl , and new to me,  Hawaiian Girl  and Tiki Party . Please take note of the fact that my g...
