The key, hinges, and keyhole are painted with acrylic paint and the dusted with Perfect Pearls-bonze when they were half dry.

I love snow-Blogger Challenge #2

I wasn't able to participate in last weeks challenge--but this week was a go. Details are on the Rubbernecker Blog.

This week's challenge is to use Grunge Board and or Chipboard. If you don't have either of these items, don't worry! Maybe you have some coasters or even a cereal box that you can cut up. We're very flexible!

Here is mine:

Well, it should read "I love snow DAYS". But the this little guy (Maurice) loves snow. I used Grunge board for the letters that were painted with a willow Paint Dabber. Maurice is highlighted with with a white Galaxy marker.

Materials Used:
Stamp: Maurice by KK Originals from Rubbernecker;

Ink: StazOn Jet black, Broken China Tim Holtz Distress Ink;

Paper: Shimmery Vanilla, Bazzill Bling and Bazzill
Basics;

Accessories; Grunge Board Minis; Prismacolor Pencils; Galaxy Marker-Milky Way White; Adirondack Paint Dabber--Willow; Nestabilities--Classic Scallops; foam tape; Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Sponge;

Well, it is supposed to get up to eighty today--a little high for me. So in my book, a snow card is a GOOD thing!

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!!

Joy comes in the morning......

One of my favorite Bible verses is:

Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

It is on the inside of this card. A bit of encouragement to go with the morning coffee.

This card has been knocking around in my head for quite a while now, and finally came together.

The *joy* stamp is from Printworks and was clear embossed, then the steam was stamped over it and a bit of chalk was smeared over it, too. Then I ironed the image face down on some paper towel to remove the bulk of the embossing powder (because some of the ink and chalk stuck to the embossing). The vertical strip is patterned paper that I stamped on (timeworn trim). The corner is dp with an Anna Griffin corner punch.

Materials (All SU! unless noted):

• Stamps: Like it a Latte and Timeworn trim; Joy by Printworks


• Ink: Fluid Chalk Ink: Warm Brown and Chestnut Roan by Clearsnap; Classic Dye Ink: Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa


• Paper: Various Dp's, Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip


• Accessories: Clear EP, Ribbon (unknown source), Ticket Corner Punch, Deco edge scissors (unknown), AG Corner Punch (All Night Media), Chipboard Heart

Thank you so much for looking!!

Pages TWO

I got the page two of the layout of my dd, Joy, and ds, Will, for MIL completed. Unfortunately, I for got to photograph them til I was at her house. They are quick snapshots (didn't want to make a big deal out of it). So you may just assume they are better IRL (LOL!!). Neither page has any stamping on it....so very sad.

The only additional information for Joy's layout is the chipboard letters. They are SU!'s On Board Simon Lower. Very fun to use!!





On Will's layout, I brayered Sahara Sand ink on the copy paper that the *survey* was on. I like how it cam out a bit un even (one of those accidentally/on purpose kind of things-lol).


All in all MIL seemed pleased. I am sure she would have been more pleased if they were ALL done. But, then again, FIL & MIL's Golden Anniversary isn't until August 10th. So that is the goal I am shooting for. ;)

Once, again, thanks for stopping by.
