Card Full of Clowns

How many clowns fit in 1 card?  I don't know, but it must be less than are on this card, because they are bursting out.   This week's image is "Clowns" at the Hambo Hoedown.  And the challenge is to use 3 patterned papers.  So here is what I created.

Stuff I Used:

Image-Clowns digital image by Hambo Stamps

Colored with Copics

R35, Y15, Y17, B02, B05, G02, G05, C1, C3, W1, W3

DP-Recollections Primary Pin Dot in Red, Green, Blue

Black paper

Sentiment-Hambo Stamps "Clowns"pack

When I saw the dotted paper, it looked "circusie" to me and seemed perfect with the image.  I cut the 3 colors of paper into 1/2" strips and glued them diagonally onto a piece of paper.  Cut it out to make the background.  I mounted the base image on thebackground and popped up the next 2 layers on homemade black foam squares.  I added a smaller image and another patterned paper strip to the inside.

You know you have pieces of paper laying around and need to use them up.  So why not go through them and create something for this week's challenge at the Hambo Hoedown.

Thanx for looking and please comment.  Don't make me send the clowns to your house.

Hey Buckaroo

It's time to get "Krafty" for the next "Dare To Be Sassy challenge" at Sassy Studio Designs. That's right, this week's challenge is to "use so Kraft paper or cardstock" on your project. I have a cardstock pack that is all Kraft paper.  And to me it has a Western feel to it.  So I decided to use the "Cowgirl Debbie (Sassy Cowgirl)" image. And here it is.

Flashback to the 80's Release

Are you ready for "like" a "totally righteous" and "fresh" release? It's a flashback to the 80's release and hop this month at Sassy Studio Designs.  And it's in conjunction with Corrosive Challenges. So break out your shoulder pads, mini skirts, leg warmers, Izods, Member's Only jackets, parachute pants, Wayfarers, stretch stirrup pants and over size tops.  Pop in your favorite Madona, INXS, Flock of Seagulls, Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Adams cassette. And join us as we Flashback to the 80's.
You  should have gotten here from Jasmine's blog (with Corrosive Challenges).  If not you can start at the beginning by going HERE.
Before we get to my project, I thought I'd share a few pics of me from the 80's.

Gotta love the acid washed jeans and Lisa's "Cosby" style sweater. (circa 1989)

Off to the Prom. Could Dorene's dress get any "puffier" or "shinier"? And what about my grey tails and mini mullet? (circa May 1987)  BTW I still have the car. (I bought it brand new in April 1985) 

Told you I still have the car.  Now it only goes out to car shows. (circa 2012)

Okay, let's jump in a Delorean and get back to the future and back to the crafting.  Here's what I created.

I added a smaller image and more colored DP to the inside.  This was a fun card to make. Lots of colors! And it was the first time I used the shrink plastic. If you've never used it before. It's a lot of fun. You just have to remember to make the image about 2 1/2 -3 times bigger than your finished size. And to make the image 30-50% of full color saturation.  It will get darker.

Now it's off to Mary's blog to see what she created.  If you missed anyone on the hop, here's the full list.

Surf's Up

So where do you like to go on vacation? Do you go to the same place every year? Or travel around to different places? Well that's the theme for this week's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge at Sassy Studio Designs.  "Travel or Vacation Themed".  When I was young, my family didn't go away for vacations a lot.  Then later (when I got in High School) we would go to Myrtle Beach, SC every summer.  That continued until I was 23 or so.  So when I saw "vacation", the first thing I thought of was the beach. So I had to use one of the Sassy beach images.  And here it is.

If you haven't gone on vacation, I hope you have a great time.  If you have already gone somewhere, I hope you had a great time.  Even if you are having a Staycation, hope it is great and relaxing.  In the mean time, don't forget to join us at Sassy Studio Designs for this week's DTBST challenge.  You could win free images.
