Scrap My Scraps Challenge III Reveal: Jax Stuart

{This is a scheduled post while I am away from the computer enjoying time with my family – parents, sibs, nieces and nephews. Enjoy!}
I’m back today with another Scrap My Scraps Challenge II Reveal.
Here’s a reminder of the “guidelines”/deets:
Scrap My Scraps Round 3 Details:
You will receive an envelope with several images and sentiments stamped onto white cardstock and a list of printed guidelines.  You may use ANY papers and embellishments from any company, but you must use the images in the envelope.   Everyone will receive exactly the same images and sentiments.
Your mission is to create a piece of artwork using ALL of these guidelines:
1)  Use at least TWO of the images (MUST use the large image included)
2)  Use at least ONE sentiment.
3)  Incorporate stitching of some sort.
4)  Incorporate additional decorative fibers (non paper).
5)  Use 1-2 pieces of METAL.
6)  Make it POP.. use some dimensional adhesives (pop dots, tabs, foam tape, etc).
7)  Have FUUUUN!!!!
Today’s reveal is Jaqueline Stuart. I “met” Jaqueline through Amanda DesJardin’s facebook wall  {chatting with her about her moving to Utah} a while back and we’ve been chit chatting ever since.  She saw my post about this challenge and wanted to play, too!  So glad you’re playing with us this time, J!
Here’s Jax’s adorable card! {She even learned to stitch just for this challenge!}  I love that dangly fishie and the metal arrow!

Well it’s that time, my friends, time to share the results of Scrap My Scraps Challenge III, brought to you exclusively from InkySmiles.com!   Remember this post?  I’ve received all of the images from our players and you’re gonna just love what they’ve come up with.
Here’s a reminder of the “guidelines”/deets:

Our first player is Sue Culotti from 52 Card Pick Up and Random On Purpose.   Check out her darling 3 flap fold, pocket hiding, peek-a-boo window card!  I love all the little details on this card and the fact that she actually used the phrase, “dumb bass” on it.  I was wondering who’d use that sentiment! Love it! 
From Sue: “My metal bits are a paper clip I used for the ribbon closure and a pop-top from a can I used for the pull-tab on the tag.  The shiny stuff (boat, cooler, etc.) is glaze pen.”
