Shades of Grey and Spotlight on Bold florals

I discovered a new challenge blog - I think its called My SCRAP-RU - its a Russian blog (don't understand a work of Russian...) and the DT is amazing! Their challenge is 50 Shades of Grey. I did not read the book - I only read the reviews on amazon and that was enough for me, but the challenge certainly appeals to me, so I HAD to play!



I used one of my new Patti Parrish stencils by iStencil - its called Pac Man infinity - alone the name makes you wanna buy it, LOL!

8X10 PTP-020 PacMan Infinity stencil image

and since I was in a silly mood I gave it two googly eyes. The sentiment is by Papertrey.


And then I thought I can just use one of those Pac Man columns and added those tiny hearts.






And as luck will have it - 
Less is More is also having a fitting challenge I am going to link up with - its predominantly Black!
also linking with
Operation Write Home - masculine cards

And as usual for a Tuesday - I have something else for you - my STAMPlorations Spotlight post:



I am linking this card with 
Create Something Catchy - Anything goes


 You can read about the whole process at STAMPlorations and see my tutorial.

Your Pac-Man stencils card are simply too much fun; the googly eyes are hilarious! Brilliant way to use shades of grey (I agree about the book; the reviews were enough!). Your STAMPlorations beauty...happy sigh! Heading off to your tutorial right now!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
