Something is Fishy

Another week down, and time for another challenge at the Hambo Hoedown.  This week the challenge was to "CASE" a previous project from 1 of Hambo's 2 Pintrest boards. See them here.
If you don't know what CASE is, it stands for "Copy And Share Everything".  I chose this fabulous card by Lyn to CASE.

And here is her site with the card.

So this is how I CASEd it.

Army & Navy Honeys

Time for the next round (#2) of the Progressive Challenge at Sassy Studio Designs group at Paper Craft Planet. This time it's a military theme. And you can get more than 1 image for free.  Now I know you're saying, "How's that?"  Well, if you play along with the Army Honey image and submit it.  You can receive the Navy or Air Force Honey  image.  That's pretty cool, huh.  But wait there's more! If you play along with the 2nd image, you can get the 3rd image.  That's 3 great images.  And these images are perfect to make a project for the 4th of July or for someone who has served for their country.  To all those who have served or are serving their country, I want to say "Thank You".
Now for my cards.  First up is Army Honey.

A Box for my Heart

The challenge this time at Crafting with Dragonflies is to "Make a Box".  As a member of  Design Team at Sassy Studio Designs, I played along.  Usually when I make a project, it is for a specific purpose.  This time my project turned out to be more of a "artsy" piece.

I added chip board to the corners and top and then covered the entire box with metal tape. It that is used on counter tops under cook tops to reflect the heat away from the counter.  Here's a pic of the roll.

I added the faux rivets with the tube from a pen with the point retracted.

I scanned the heart/clock sticker. Printed it out larger and covered it with Glossy Accents and cut it out.

I lined the box with red felt pieces.

I popped up the Tin Sassy image on homemade pink foam squares.

This was a fun project. It was the 2nd project that I made this month that wasn't a card. I think I may have to make more non-card projects.

You Did It Grad

I love making cards. But sometimes it's fun to make something different. As a Design Team member at Sassy Studio Designs I participated in the "No Cards" challenge at Craft my Life.  I thought with graduation season here, what would be better than a photo holder for the new Grad. And since I'm a grad of Penn State and my Dad is a professor at PSU, that's the school I went with.

It was a lot of fun making something other than a card for a challenge.

Chemistry 101

Time for the newest challenge at the Hambo Hoedown. This week's challenge was to add "Bubbles".  You can use the image you'd have received free if you played along the previous week and used a  Hambo Stamps image, or any Hambo Stamps image (and receive the new image next week) or use any image.  I used the "Test Tubes" image that I got free for playing along last week.

I made an easel card this week.

I created the bubbles by punching holes in the background and placing the blue cardstock behind it.  And adding highlights with a white gel pen.

 I popped up the test tube image on homemade black foam squares along with the sentiment on the inside.

It's always fun playing along with the challenges each week.
