It's Friday...that means....Friday Hanna Stamps Challenge

I have really enjoyed being able to do the Friday challenges at Hanna Stamps challenges on Friday :) Here is my card for the Friday Challenge this week being hosted by Vicki whose son is celebrating become an official Teen ager, 13. It just so happens that it is my son, Charlie's birthday today as well, so a double Happy Birthday to you both:

Ice Cream Riley from Hanna Stamps was colored with copic markers and I added colored sprinkles on the ice cream cone with my Atyou spica glitter pens (I have red and green ) then I cut out the ovals and sponged them with Tim Holtz distress ink.

The dp is a free digital download from GinaK Designs StampTV and the original dp was pink so I changed the color in Picaso Photo editing to blue, I like the way it turned out and much more masculine! I layered the ice cream dp on white and then brown cs for the card base.

The sentiment at the top, Sweet, is mosiac tiles that I got at Michaels and are just a bit smaller than the wooden scrabble tiles that I love, so they worked on this card. The Happy Birthday to you is a Just Rite stamp.

3 coordinating buttons were added and my masculine teen birthday card is ready to send.

Be sure to check back tomorrow as I have my card project #2 for the Hanna Stamps Guest Designer Round 2 post.

Have a great day! See you tomorrow bright and early!!!

My Favorite Jerk!

What? My favorite Jerk is a Soda Jerk, of course :)
I got my Round 2 BubbleBath Sophie from Hanna Stamps for the next round in the Guest Designer Challenge. She is adorable. I also got the super cute Ice Cream Riley. I couldn't resist the title....














I created a Peek-a-boo box but created a lid for it as well. I added stripes to the IceCream Riley's uniform. you can see in the second picture that I made a scalloped edge for the box lid using my fiscars border punch. The tag was created using microsoft word and punched out with the SU scalloped circle punch.
The box was sponged with Tim Holtz Lipstick red distressed ink as well as Vintage Photo. I added a strip of the red and white polka dot paper, that was left from punching my border,on the scalloped circle tag. A red button was glued to the center of the tag and my gift box was completed.
Instructions for making the peed-a-boo box were on SCS a long time ago and I have had the pattern since then but it was just brought back as a tutorial a couple of weeks ago and you can find the directions here.
I created the Riley Golf Gift box below for the Hanna Stamps Friday Challenge. The challenge was hosted by Adela this week and her challenge was to make a 3-D item and use acetate. Here is my project:
I was able to cheat a little on the challenge since I already had the acetate sleeve I made a lid and bottom for it using white cs and I covered that witih the polka dot dp. I thought a couple of golf balls and tees would be a nice little gift item. I colored Golf Riley with copics and I have been know to dress him in a shirt and knickers but this time I left him au natural :) I wrote the tag out because I was too lazy to print it out on the computer. I hate to waste a whole sheet of cs for one sentiment, KWIM!
I tied the package together with a piece of brown and white checked ribbon to keep it a masculine gift and punched a tiny hole in each tag and strung the ribbon through the hole. Easy Peasy!



Hope you had a great week-end.

Not sure what I will have for you tomorrow but it is my day off so you know I will be creating!!!

See ya then...
