New Challenge and a Freebie!!

We just started a new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability - Pearls and Swirls!! This challenge should be easy for a lot of you, but last night, I could not get it together! The last few days all I've wanted to do was nothing! I have so many images printed up on my table, but...

Anyway, here's my card using the new Lotus is a Bride digi!

Got too happy with the blue marker!

I expect to see a lot of you in the challenge. You don't need to use a Guylou's Inimitability digi to play along, BUT G has a freebie until tomorrow night!!

**Totally not related to this post, but Blitsy has the Summer pack of Distress Inks for lower than any of the other stores I checked. I'm a bargain shopper and believe in making sure I'm getting a good deal when shopping online. I have a feeling they're going to sell out of these quickly, so get on over there!

Recipe Challenge at Guylou's Inimitability!!

First, LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem is officially the song stuck in my head... I couldn't stop dancing in my seat while tutoring the other day. I tried to explain to my poor children that ADD can do that to a person; I think they just thought it was cute... :D

Second, and why you're probably here, is the new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability! Kim is hosting the challenge this time and has a recipe for you - 1 ribbon, 2 patterned papers, and 3 (or more) pieces of bling!


Here's my project using William and Kate:

I would love to tell you all about this card, but I have to go to sleep. I had to rush to send this over yesterday and have driven about nine hours today in order to attend a funeral that seemed to have been in a rice paddy. (Gotta love the country on a rainy afternoon...) I do know that the paper is some I bought last week from SCACD - Bo Bunny's Crush, the ribbon is May Arts, and the circle rhinestones are from Recollections.

Go enter the challenge!! You could win a DT spot and a gift certificate to the store at Guylou's Inimitability!

Electronic Santa

First, I would like to thank two very talented ladies who have recently given away candy that I happened to win!! Lorie at The Peddler's Gallery gave away some Copic markers on her blog last weekend. There aren't any markers to win right now, but I think you should mosey on over there to see the beautiful projects she makes! Plus, you never know when she might have some other goodies... :)  The second person who deserves a big thanks is Fern from Fern's Creations. You may have seen her badge in my sidebar; she was giving away $100 and a pack of M&Ms. This morning, while still laying in the bed, I opened Reader in my phone, clicked a link, and saw my name in bright red letters as the winner of her candy! You wanna talk about excited?! Thank you both so much!!

Second, I did go download those Christmas songs from Target. I sing along with You'll Never Find My Christmas when it's on tv, but Electronic Santa is my song! :) I know it sounds crazy, but I listened to that song about twenty times in a row last night. (I was working, and it's only about two and half minutes.) I just heard it for, like, the seventeenth consecutive time but turned it off because The Sing-Off came on. I thought about embedding it on the page, but I hate when my computer gets slowed down because it's trying to load a playlist or song as I'm surfing...

And now, because I don't think the few of you who come here do it to read my dribble, here's a card!

The card is for a lady in one of the groups I'm in online. I think she got married the other day, but I can't remember when her date is/was... The card is really simple: Wedding Veil digi stamp from A Day for Daisies colored with Copics and glittered, a piece of embossing with a Fiskars Scrap Boss sheet, and some pink cardstock! (If you're interested, ADFD is giving away a free digi to the first 300 people who sign up to follow the new blog using FeedBurner...) 

Sorry this was so long!
