GC115: Random Redhead- Tribute to Teens

Here is my Creation for the Gingersnap Creations Random Redhead Challenge which is a tribute to teens. I love teenagers, especially the outlandish ones. I like to think it is there duty to entertain us by coming up with new ways to decorate themselves. 
My image is from my stash and the papers I used are from We R Memory Keepers. I also used distress inks (Ranger).
Thank you for looking!  Happy Sunday!

Gingersnap Creations #105 -Chestnut Theme Challenge

  The Chestnut Theme Challenge at Gingersnaps is "At the Mall". So the way I see it is you go when there is a BIG SALE and you take a credit card (preferably your husband's). I used the packaging from some Melissa Frances embellishments to create my mall on. The rest of the images are from my stash. I used a Old Island Stamp Company flourish and Melissa Frances bling.


  Thank you for looking.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge- week 34

  Can you believe we are almost at the end of this creative journey (and ready to start a new one of course).I decided to make a commemorative collage of different techniques I have used with the addition of our amazing Linda ( I asked her permission first). It will be a fun piece for me to have in my book. The first fragment I made ended in disaster when the paper came off the glue on my fingers and then the ink bled. I liked it better but that's how it goes sometimes. Make sure you go visit Studio L3. There are some amazing fragments over there.

This is for the Just for Fun Challenge - "wings of a bug". It is just an idea that stuck in my head when I looked at these little girl images from Lisa's Altered Art. The background is made from a couple of Webster's Pages. I made the words using an alphabet stamp from Scroll's Work Stamps.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge- week 29

I did a very simple one for this weeks CC challenge over at Studio L3 where our task is to create "weathered wood". My background is embossed using a distressed embossing plate from Sizzix. When went to use it I thought it was wood grain. My grunge paper is all used up so this will have to do. It must be a hardwood. The grain is very close together. The words and image are from Lisa's Altered Art and the bird stamp is from Scrolls Work.

The PLAY DATE CAFE - PDCC 52

Over at THE PLAY DATE CAFE they are celebrating a One Year Anniversary. Congratulations Play Date Cafe! The colors they challenged us with this week are orange pink and yellow. I have made this card in honor of their anniversary. I used some graphic 45 paper for the backgrounds and image and SU paper for the flower. The ticket is from TH and the Art stamp is from Catslife Press. I also used distress inks and glitter gel pens. The jewel on the flower is orange but my scanner doesn't think so. If you haven't checked it out, you should. They are providing lots of inspiration from past and present designers.

The wings have Rock Candy Distress Stickles on them but it doesn't show up in the scan. The background of daisies is from Dover.
