Ugliest Card Blog Hop

Today, on April Fool's Day, I present to you my entry for Suzanne's
uce

Egads!  What in the world was I thinking?  Well, I know what I was thinking.  This was for World Card Making Day in 2009, and Papertrey's challenge was to think "Australia".  I think I got the challenge okay, but what an UGLY card!  I'm pretty sure I threw this one away.  Sometimes challenges are not my friends.

I'm sure I could've found even more cards to show you.  I did finally go through and throw most of my uglies away--many of which I never photographed.  You're welcome!

    I have to agree that you nailed the inspiration - totally has the aboriginal feel. This blog hop has me crying I am laughing so hard. Feel free to hop over to my ugly!

    Too fun, Cheryl! I don't know Australia, but this would be great for an American cowboy-themed card!! Thanks for being brave and joining in the hilarity!!

    Oh I can totally see where you were going with your Aboriginal art, Cheryl! But yes, this may not be the sunniest of cards LOL! It seems that I chose a similar hue of "blech" for the base of my winning ugly card, LOL!

    I can see where you were going with your inspiration from the challenge theme, but I don't think it's all that bad.

    Cheryl, I don't think it's so bad...did you make all those dots with a white pen? That would have sent me straight to the funny farm!

    I don't think it's that bad either! Certainly not up to your usual caliber though!

Erin Lee Creative November Release

Hello!  I am your last stop on the Erin Lee Creative blog hop for the November release, now available in the shop .  If you haven't seen everyone's creations yet, check the list at the bottom of this post. *PRIZES* Two $50 gift vouchers will be given to winners chosen randomly from comments on each blog in the hop.  Winners will be announced on the Erin Lee Creative blog on November 9. Let's get to the projects! First up are two cards made with the same products...the  Stripe Background Stamp  and the  Stripe Sentiments Stamp Set .  There are so many possibilities with just these two products!  I started with an autumn rainbow of distress oxide inks: I really love how these sentiments fit perfectly in the stripes, and they look like the labels we used to make with those vintage label makers (remember turning the wheel and pulling the trigger for the right letters?).  They look especially good when heat embossed. (Sorry for getting that song...

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I lov...

25 Days of Christmas Tags--Sunny Studio

Hello, friends!  Today I get to join a fantastic blog hop hosted by my sweet friend, Tracey McNeely .  Starting November 1, each day will bring tags made by fantastic cardmakers using stamps from each of the companies below.   *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on Tracey's blog and follow directions there for a chance to win prizes from each of these sponsors: Today I have the honor of sharing the tags I made with Sunny Studio stamps and dies.  Their layering sets are so clever and realistic!  They are offering a $25 gift certificate to their shop. First up is a tag made with the Petite Poinsettias stamps and coordinating dies .  These flowers are small but so detailed--perfectly scaled for a tag. Next are two tags made with the Christmas Trimmings stamp set and coordinating dies .  Again, the detail on these small layering stamps is amazing!  Those pinecones are so perfect.  I also used the "for" and "you" stamps from the Fruit Cocktail s...
