Memphis in May

Spent the weekend in Memphis Tennessee at the Memphis in May National BBQ Contest. Boy did we eat some good food. This is my brother-in-laws entry for shrimp

This is my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The butterfly stamp in an old one from Stampin' Up. The embossed border is from Cuttlebug.

I feel like a slacker for the last couple of weeks. Just couldn't get motivated. My craft room is a mess and nothing appeared to be right. There are just too many piles in my room. Tomorrow is a create and straighten day hopefully. I also need to get a frame for the beautiful "Princess" certificate for being a loyal follower of Midnight Madness.

This is my card this week for the Midnight Madness Challenge. Sorry it doesn't go with the party theme, but I try to multitask and I needed a sympathy card. The last creaft show I went to I bought a Viva Pearl Pen. I love adding the pearl touch wherever I want.

Card Patterns Sketch 63

This is the card I made from the sketch at Card Patterns. We are going to Memphis this week end for Memphis in May which is a BBQ competition. My brother-in-law in on a team. We get to go and test the food on Thursday and Friday and I sort of wanted a thank you card. I don't use stickers very often, but they came in handy here. The name of the team is the Righteous Ribbers because it is a bunch of guys from their church

Critter Challenge

This is my entry for the Critter Challenge this week. I lost track of what number it was and didn't see that on the blog. The ovals I made in the background are in the current Technique Junkies newsletter and is called Gitzy lace. You run your paper through a Xyron, apply lace to the sticky side, add darker glitter to the project, remove the lace and add lighter glitter. It makes a really nice background , but now my work area is glittered. The sentiment is from JustRite.

I thought I had the picture issue solved and am still struggling some. It seem greens sort of throw me a curve.

Sorry there are not many posts this week. Just can't seem to get motivated. Nothing seems right.

This is my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The flower stamp is from All Night Media and was colored with copic markers. I then painted crystal effects on the flower to make it shiny. The wording background is from Sandi Miller Original Art Stamps. I sponged color on the tag around the clear embossed image which is the same flower that was stamped at the bottom.

Card Patterns Sketch 62

This is my card for the Card Patterns Sketch. The stamp is from Hero Arts and is colored with Radiant Pearls. The flowers are cut out of tissue paper using a Spellbinders Die.
