Bunny Basket

Welcome.  I  hope you're enjoying all the amazing projects by the DT.  You should have arrived here from Kitty's blog. If not, you need to go back to the beginning here and follow along.
As you know this month's challenge is to "Reuse and Recycle" something on your project.  And use the Tic Tac Toe board.
You know how it works.  Use 3 squares in a row, Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal. If you use the left to right diagonal, you need to use 3 recycled items.


I got a little ambitious this time and used all the items. (except I really only "reused" 1 item and left over paper from a previous project)  The left over paper was from a pair of cards I made awhile back.

And my "Reused" item is a section of a egg carton.

Here is what I created.

I cut the foam egg carton to hold the 6 eggs and made the box from foam core.  I adhered the glitter to the buttons with Glossy Accents.  I popped up the image on homemade light purple foam squares.
This was a fun project. It's always good to be able to use stuff that you have laying around.  Hopefully you'll join in the fun and create something for the challenge. And don't forget to comment on all of the DT's blogs.  You could win some of these new images.

I Have Something to Make you Well

It's time to say Thank You to our laborers out there. And that is what this week's DTBST challenge #192 is about at Sassy Studio Designs.  "Celebrate Labor Day"  I have a couple of SSD images that were perfect for this challenge. (there are more that I want to get that are perfect too)  So I went with the Nurse Heather Sassy.  What do you think?

Stuff I Used:
Image-Nurse Heather Sassy digital image by Sassy Studio Designs
Colored with Copics
Skin-E00, E11
Eyes-G02
Lips-R11, R14
Hair-E41, E43, E44
Uniform-B91, Y26, R27
Gloves/shoes/bra/earring-V12, V15
Background panel-scanned adhesive bandage labels
Cardstock-Recollections purple pack
Front sentiment-custom eye chart by http://www.eyechartmaker.com/
Inside sentiment-custom prescription by http://www.prescriptionmaker.com/
Both of these sites are really neat.  You can make your own novelty eye chart and prescription.
BTW I didn't add an "e" to "well".  The site fills in any extra spaces with random letters and I forgot to erase it out before printing.

I popped up the image on homemade purple foam squares.  I added a smaller nurse and bandage labels to the inside. 

Thanx for looking and please comment.

A Card "Built" for You


According to the plans, it's time for another challenge at the Hambo Hoedown.  This week's challenge is to "use something a carpenter would use" since this week's new image is "Carpenter".  This was a good challenge. At first I'm thinking ...screws, nails, glue.  Hummm This could be tough.  Then I came up with something.  What do you think?

I added a hand drawn floor plan behind the image and popped it all up on homemade black foam squares.

I hope I built a satisfactory card this week.  And hope you'll join in the fun.  Head over to the Hambo Hoedown and get all the details.

Leave Me a Message

"Thank you for calling. I'm not on my blog right now. Please leave me a message." Then head on over to the Hambo Hoedown and join in this week's challenge.  This week's image is "Bad Connection". And the challenge is to use "Office Supplies".  I loved using things that you wouldn't think of using on a card.  So here's what I came up with.

I popped up the front image on homemade pink foam squares.  I adhered the carbon paper with my Xyron. And added a smaller image to the inside.  I printed the inside sentiment directly on the Post-It.

I hope this gave you some ideas on how you can use non-traditional items on your cards.
Now lets see what you can create.
