Sorry about the quality of the pictures you will be seeing while my "soupy" computer is being fixed. I can't edit them or blend out the flaws in my photo tent, so bear with me :)
Paper: GBC November 2008 kit papers
Accessories: Chipboard birds from GBC November 2008 kit, Scallop Edge punch, 2-way glue pen, Martha Stewart brown glitter, dimensionals
Since I have to to go an activity at church tonight, I have to go ahead and post my CBC02 card. I promise that this card looks much better in real life. :) If I had my Photoshop (on my computer that's at Dell getting Chicken Noodle Soup cleaned out of it) I could edit it to make it a little more true to life. It's not my favorite card that I've ever made, but it's okay. I kind of hit a slump this past weekend and was a little overwhelmed with all of the things I had to get done, so my card suffered for it. I'm sure you can all relate. Anyway, if you missed the 2nd Combat Boot Challenge inspiration photo, you can see the gorgeous cake HERE. Here's the recipe for my card:
Stamps: Always
Paper: Basic Black, Almost Amethyst and Whisper White CS
Ink: Basic Black and Almost Amethyst
Accessories: 1-1/4", 1-3/8", Scallop Circle and Word Window punches, Black ric-rac, Filigree Brad covered in Black StazOn, paper piercing tool and template
The spotlight this week is on Kelly who was picked by using Random.org (which picked #2) so it would be totally "random". She made SEVERAL cards - they would make such a great gift set!!! Aren't they cute?!?!
The gals who played along this week are:
Thought this was touching - I got it from Gina W. in an e-mail. Thanks Gina!!! While I probably wouldn't wear that jacket - it really means something. VOTE!!!!
So...I had so much fun making my card for this week's Combat Boot Challenge. I thought outside the box - you will really only see the colors used. Perhaps you like the repeated elements on the cake, or the flowers, or the other shapes....Or, maybe it was the colors? Whatever inspires you to stamp, that's what is important with my challenges!! I guess this one isn't that popular though because only one person has posted a project so far. I will post mine later today to give you guys a little more time...Oh well...next week's is already chosen, so we'll see how it goes. I hope to continue the challenge, or I guess I could just show cards I make based on the photos and not challenge you all to do them too? If you need to see the wedding cake again, go to THIS post.
As for tomorrow, I will post in the evening my CBC02 card. Hopefully some of you will play along!!!! I feel kind of lonely in the challenge right now. Check out the challenge and the GORGEOUS wedding cake that is the inspiration piece. The reason for posting later, is so that you, I and everyone, can
VOTE!!!!!!!!
PS - Having to use my hubby's computer so I can't edit my photos at all. Sorry for the photo tent background!!!
CBC02:
Some close-ups:
Welcome to CBC02. Last week's challenge was so much fun!! I hope that you enjoyed yourselves and for those of you who were unable to play last week, I hope you can join us this time!! Tell your friends to check out the challenge - I would love to have them.
Don't ask me why, but I was browsing through wedding cakes and saw this one and just loved it. I forgot to copy the link to the cake, but whoever created it is VERY talented!!!
The rules:
You will have through Monday evening (Nov 3) to comment with a link to your creation. Please post your link in a comment to THIS post. Additionally, please ensure that you leave a direct link to the actual post or specific picture in your gallery (help a girl out - I don't have a surplus of time to spend searching for projects that aren't directly linked to!).
On Tuesday morning, November 4th, I will post my own creation along with a list of links to all of yours. I will use Random.org to select one of your entries as the "featured artist" in my own post. This means for your link to appear in the initial post or to be considered as the featured artist, I would need to have it by 8:00 pm on Monday evening. I will gladly edit the post later to add any of you that couldn't get it in on time unless the number of you doing this becomes overwhelming - I don't mind doing that.
If you upload your card to SCS, please use the keyword CBC02 with no spaces, so that we can find them easily.
Thanks for playing and I can't wait to see what you create!!
