ALTERED PAINT BRUSH SWAP

Hi people, just wanted to share with you an altered paint brush I made for a swap over at Scraps of Color. I saw this idea  when I went to Viva Las Vegas in June and could not wait to start a swap on SOC.  We had a choice of wild animals or floral and of course I was extremely happy that my partner wanted the wild animal theme because that is so me.  We all started with a simple paint brush and went wild with paints, stains, ribbon, lace, bling, flowers and whatever else we felt it needed.  Here is what I created.  I hope that it inspires you to try one too.  Thanks

A Purple Card Challenge

Hi folks, back again today with a card I made for a challenge over at Scrapbook Stamp Society on FB https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.455028221280305&type=1.  The requirements were that the card be mostly purple. This is a center step card. The image is by Sherri Baldy . Thanks again for stopping in.

Kiddie Birthday Cards

My daughter requested that I make her a couple of cards for her BFF's children's birthday party yesterday.  I have not been in a card making mood lately and not feeling that well either so it took a minute for me to come up with something for her on Friday nite.  I went trough some old papers a friend had given me and found some cute 5x7 pieces that I thought could work well and proceeded to color some Robert Jackson images of a boy and a girl.  I added pockets inside as she was gonna give them money.  I guess they are not that bad.  Thanks for looking.

Good Times Challenge #4

This weeks Good Times Challenge over at Scraps of Color is about the Evans kids, Thelma, JJ and Michael. What you know about that?  I have to say that Robert Jackson did a nice job with this image.  It catches the essence of each character perfectly I think.  Anyway this is what I got.  I chose a family sentiment since that is exactly what it is.  Thank you for blessing my blog.

ALWAYS A WINNER

Congrats to Serena Williams on her US Open Win.  Because of this I felt inspired to use this Robert Jackson (www.fineartsbyrobertjackson.com) image.  Serena will always be a winner, so I felt this would make a great friendship card for someone you admired.  Hope you like the image and what I did with it.  Thanks for stopping by.  Yep,  short and sweet.

RANDOM FRIDAY NITE CHALLENGE

I feel like I am slacking here and not posting like I use to.  There is a reason for that, I think.  I am getting excited about going on the Classygirl cruise in a few weeks to the Bahamas and Florida.  This is the Classygirl that is the moderator of Scraps of Color, so I will be meeting some of the wonderful ladies that I see and chat with online.
Ok, enough about my trip, let's get to the new post.  I posted a challenge over at Scraps of Color in the Friday Nite Chat Group.  Anyone that ask for a free image of Robert Jackson's before a certain time would get one.  The catch is that it has to be posted before midnight Sunday. Here is what I came up with for mine.

I am also gonna do double duty with card and enter it here http://memascrafts.blogspot.com/2013/08/september-challenge-lace-and-flowers.html.  See you next time.

Bookman

Ok I am on to challenge #3 over at Scraps of Color Good Times Challenge.  This week it is the lazy superintendent Bookman who is also known as Buffalo Butt Bookman and Booger.  I decided to use him as a Birthday card since I usually need one anyway.  The inside of the card says "and have a great time on your Birthday.  This image and all the images used in this challenge are created by Robert Jackson  www.fineartbyrobertjackson.com.  Thanks for stopping in.
