Tamiko's altered CC Design challenge

Hey all~
Thank you for visiting. Our CT was asked to create an altered CC Designs image.  We had specifically got permission to alter just the head/body only from CC Designs but no wiping away portions.  I used Honey Bikini and Fall Emma with the Swiss field fence, thinking it's the change of the seasons.  This was also a sketch challenge. And, since it's still October, we want to stress Breast Cancer Awareness.

This was the sketch challenge that we followed:

Hope you enjoyed this Tamiko's challenge.  This will be our CT's last challenge for now.  But, please come back soon.  I still have my September OCS to post this weekend!!!  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!!!

Hugs,

Sept tag swap

Hi all~
I didn't get a chance to post the September tags.  Here is the cute tags that I received from my swap partner, Cindy A., up in beautiful Canada:

Here is a close up shot:

Here is my tags that I made.  I altered my image a bit.  I used the Hero Arts tag stamp but trimmed off the scalloped border & put on a Dandelion Design image called Stocking.  I used a Sizzix die called Super scallop crescent with some red bazzil paper.  I also made a tag holder to go with my tags.  

Here's a tag up close:

The 3 tags together:

Thank you for visiting my blog and always leaving such kind comments.  It's such an inspiration.  Please come back to check out what I created for Thursday.  Until then....

Think Pink

Hi all~
It's time for another of Tamiko's Thursday Teaser Challenge.  This challenge is to use something that incorporated the color pink, as October is Susan Komen breast cancer awareness month.  To honor this event, when you shop with Tamiko's when you put in the code "pink10" at the checkout, it'll automatically give you 10% off your purchase.  This offer is good throughout this month of October.

Now onto my image, I used CC Designs Nora on a Swing, and used various shades of pink on her outfit. I even found a pink butterfly.  But, I had to make it pop a little so I used some black dsp.  

Hope that you like the way it turned out.  Remember, early detection is the best prevention to breast cancer awareness!! Tell all of your female friends and family. Hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you so much for visiting!

Hugs,

Brads, Buttons & Bling

Hey all~

Thank you for visiting me on another Tamiko's Thursday Challenge.  Our creative team was asked to use a combination of Brads, Buttons & Bling.  All 3 types must be used on a card.  Here is what I came up with.  Can you find where I put the brads?

I chose these colors for summer because I tried to incorporate 2 projects into one! lol. I also decided prior to this that I was running out of time for my September OCS so off it went to my partner.  Hope she will like it!  Thank you for visiting and I hope to have some creations in a couple days.

Hugs,

I won! I won!

Last week, I came home to happy mail. I had won a blogaversary over at Fay's My Stamping Creations.  I've never won anything before so I was so surprised when I saw my name.  I enjoy checking out Fay's site because of all of wonderful creations.  I believe that we actually met sometime last year at several m&t at various local stores.  She's the sweetest person!!! Thanks again Fay!!!

Thanks for visiting everyone! Have a great week!

Hugs,

Thursday Teaser

Hi all~
Welcome to another of Tamiko's Thursday Teaser (TTT)!!! Our CT was asked to incorporate some Nestabilities into our card & freestyle the rest.  I chose to use Travel Anya on my card. Fall is here and we can say farewell to our summer travels.  She is so sweet.  I colored her several times.  My desk is a mess from all of my trial & errors. Putting the card together was a lot of fun.  I wanted to use the last of the summer colors. What do you think?

Thanks for visiting! Come back soon & I'll be posting up some pictures of some blog candy that I won!

Hugs,
