Boo! I'm sick again!

I am so sorry. I still haven't posted Wednesday or Thursday's stuff, and now I'm sick. A teeny storm came through yesterday and messed up my sinuses. After I got off this afternoon, I took an ibuprofin, ate a bowl of noodles, and jumped right into bed. Considering how sweaty-wet I am and how cool it is in my room, I think I may have had a fever earlier... (I keep falling asleep. Must finish quickly!)

New challenge - ABC. Apple Red, Bling, and a Charm.

Anyway, I hope this Blogger app works. I didn't like the result the last time I used it, but I'm using it - from the bed - since Guylou has a LIMITED-TIME freebie that I don't want you to miss... Go to guylousinimitability.blogspot.com for the freebie code.

I Haven't Entered This Many...

I haven't entered this many challenges in a while, but I'm really excited and happy about a project I just finished! I always check the rules to not enter challenges with limits, so if I added your challenge and don't qualify, please forgive me!

Here's my project:

I altered a chalkboard for a friend who was recently named Teacher of the Year. It might not look like it, but it took me forever to finish this project. I'm really slow about crafting and tend to move things around like a million times to figure out where I want things. I guess that's why I like sketch challenges!

Challenges: 4 Crafty Chicks - Anything Goes, Shelley's Images - Tic-tac-toe (Bling/Free/Flowers), Southern Girls - Anything Goes, Digistamps 4 Joy - Anything Goes, Paper Pretties - Sentiment as the Focal Point, Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes, Anything Goes Challenges - Anything Goes (of course!), Clear It Out - Alter Something, Jens Digi Stamps - Let's Hear it for the Girls, Going Grey with Scrap-Creations - It's a Girl Thing

Big thanks to the team at Feline Playful!

If you'd like the details...My cute little teacher is a hybrid - Teacher Anya and Easter Anya from The Greeting Farm. I painted and crackle finished the frame then glittered the cracks.  The stars are chipboard covered in paper from October Afternoon's Schoolhouse pack. The Well Done and A+ banner up top are from KaiserCraft's Class of '87 line.  I wanted to use transfer paper to write her name using a font from a scrapbook lettering book I have, but I didn't have the right kind. I ended up having to free hand it, but I don't think it came out bad.  And because I always have a tip from messing up something... If you use white ink on a chalkboard, you can erase your mistakes with nail polish remover! (Teacher was SO slanted when I first wrote it.) I got the flowers from eBay a long time ago, but I rarely use flowers on my projects. I colored them with Copics and Glimmer Mist then put some Stickles on top. All the rhinestones are from Michaels.

Don't forget the party starts Monday on The Outlawz!

Back to School at GI!

Ready to go back to school? Well, the new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability will make you put on your thinking cap! We're heading back to school with some new digis and a back to school challenge. For this challenge, you'll need a school themed project with an apple on it. Here's my card using Teacher Leah and a button apple idea I saw in this YT video:

You can join the challenge by uploading a link to your project before 10 p.m. EST on September 15 and get a chance to be score some great GI stamps and a GDT spot. If you can't wait to get your hands on some of Guylou's digis, make sure to head over for the Labor Day Sale starting tomorrow!
