TUIC March Challenge

Fellow Tangled Up In Creativity Blog Group member, Dawn, is hosting this month's challenge.  We had to create a card inspired by the saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb."  Ribbon also had to be used on the card.  Here is my entry.  The lion image is by Inkadinkado and I made the charm.  The charm was made by stamping the lamb image with Stazon ink onto a piece of #6 recycled plastic (carryout container) and then when heated with the heat gun (shrinks like polyshrink).    

Here's a close up of the charm:

I've also been working on a swap:

Each member of the swap group was sent an image and had to come up with a card.  The image Michelle sent was 3 Easter eggs in a row with a hatching chick in the middle.  I colored and cut it apart.  This layout was inspired by one I had seen in a magazine.  It was fun.  

Thanks for looking!

Sunday, March 6, 2011 TUIC Challenges - Altered Notebook

Christy of Lone Pine Designs was one of our hostesses for our blog group's, Tangled Up in Creativity, challenges for the month of February.  Please visit her blog, here.  This time we were to alter a notebook.  This was a cute journal I found in Michael's $1 bin.  The original cover had a picture of a wheel barrow filled with gardening tools and plants.  I decided to make it cuter with this little gardener image.  I believe she came from an image swap.  I colored her with a combination if Bic Permanent and Copic Markers.  

Here's a close-up of the image:

TUIC Challenges - Vintage Summer

For our blog group's, Tangled Up In Creativity, second challenge Rebekka of  A Diamond in the Rough (check out her beautiful cards, here) wanted us to make a card with a vintage summer theme.  The image is actually cut out from Daisy D's Back to School scrapbook paper collection.  The sentiment is by Inkadinkado.  I used craft and blue cardstock from Michael's.  I made the flower yoyo (my new addiction) and used one of Jenni Bowlin's vintage buttons for the center.  The fiber is a crocheted chain, I'm trying to teach myself how to crochet.  It is a bit of a challenge since I am left-handed.  All the talented people who can crochet I know are right-handed and find it extremely frustrating to teach me.  Thank goodness for YouTube.  

Here are a few more close-ups:
