Episode 120: Bowling Card & Glitter Technique

Hi Crafters!  Here is a bowling card I made my niece for her birthday.  She just turned 11 and is in bowling leagues.  What a different interest for a kid.  I love it!  :)  I go into detail on how I made the glitter marble look on the bowling ball.  What's interesting is the green glitter is actually yellow glitter.  But w/ the black cardstock it changed the color of it to green.

I had the bowling pins against a white background and it just washed out completely.  So I took a sponge dauber and yellow ink and inked up the whole background.  That isn't in the video as I changed it after I filmed.

Check out the ripples in the ball:

This happened because I got impatient and used my heat gun.  lol  Note to self in the future - Just leave it alone to dry!  :)

On a personal note, I hit 90 lbs down this last week.  Woo Hoo!  I can't believe how close I am to 100 lbs down.  I'll definitely be posting it here when I hit that mark.  :)  To know how I did it click on the 'A New Me' tab at the top.

Episode 49: Another Male Birthday Card

Here is another male birthday card.  This is for my uncle.  My dad's family grew up on a farm and mining communities and I thought this reminded me of the trucks they would have driven back then.  It's a simple card but I like it and I think he will too.

A couple of extra things - I have the funniest card that I made and I will be posting it on Thursday.  Be sure to come back then.  ALSO, I am in an Imagine blog hop on Saturday.  Be sure you come by for that.  I will be providing a giveaway that is not Imagine related so everyone can participate in the hop.

Episode 40: Paper Playtime Technology Challenge

This weeks challenge with Paper Playtime is TECHNOLOGY!  Create a project that has an image of some form of technology on it.  In my opinion, anything w/ power or advancement is technology.  Watches, cars, clocks, planes, ipods, computers, etc...  Our sponsor for this week is MICHELLE'S SCRAPBOOKING & MORE.  She is offering a gift certificate over to her site.  Who doesn't want free money to a scrapbooking store???  Dang, too bad I'm a designer this week!  ;)

I created a boy's birthday card for my project.  I used a space shuttle as my technology image.  I also used Robyn My Pink Stampers new stamp set called Sweet Baby for my sentiment.
