Come Play at Hogs & Sketches

I won last month's Hambo Stamps Hogs & Sketches Challenge and was awarded this GREAT prize:

I encourage everyone to play along this month.  The Hogs & Sketches Challenge #10 is another great sketch and this month they are allowing crafters to use stamped images from ANY Company.  One reason I ADORE Hambo Stamps is because they have the funniest saying and I have never heard a PUN I did not LOVE.

Beer Gardens at the Fair

This weeks challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot is to create a project with embossing that Celebrates State & County fairs.  Now at first this card may seem a little "unrelated", but in this part of the country Fairs often equal "Beer Gardens". 

I used my argyle embossing folder with Red/Black C'ordinations paper.  After  the paper was embossed I sanded it so the red shows through the black.

Wise Hedgies still seek him .................

Splitcoaststampers has a new member company "Flower Soft".  They are having a challenge this week to use your favorite Flower Soft Colors on a project.  The hedgie's hat is made with Polar White & Vintage Christmas Flower Soft. 

Flower Soft also is this weeks sponsor on Card Positioning Systems.  The layout seems simple enough, but boy did I find it challenging.

Shroom Room

This was my card for a local card swap where we each tried a technique that was new to us.  I used my scor-pal to make the grid lines and then stamped the image. The idea came from a technique book published by Cornish Heritage Farms.

Stamp: Cornish Heritage Farms - Mushroom Lane #9

Stuck on Crafty Secrets

This weeks Crafty Secrets Challenge was to use Stickers on your card.  The main image is from Crafty Secrets "Feel Better" Sticker sheet.  The little rain drops are Cloud 9 Rain Dots Epoxy Stickers- I have been shamefully been hoarding for years.

A craft tip - if the Stickles Glitter Glue on your card doesn't dry in 12 hours - it may be an indicator that you  use to much (one guess as to how I know that).
