For the love of lefty...

Are you looking for my Drunken Stamper's Monty Python and the Holy Grail post??? Have no fear, just CLICK HERE.

I made this card for a friend who had surgery recently. I wanted to send her a little note to send her and "lefty" some love, hugs and positive healing vibes and to make sure that she knows that her friends are thinking of her always.

Thanks for stopping by today...and remember...

 

Until next time...

Drunken Stampers Challenge #132 - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Happy Happy Saturday!!! Time for another Drunken Stampers challenge!!!

I don't know if it's my British parents or my warped sense of humour...but I just LOVE Monty Python. When Kevinator and I first started dating we went to NYC to see Spamalot...it was freakin' fantastic!! The coconuts...the knights who say NI...the killer rabbit...muahhhhh ha ha ha ha 

Be sure to check out the DRUNKEN STAMPERS BLOG for all the details on this week's challenge and to check out the awesome creations from the Bahama Mamas.


Like all the challenges this term, you have options for inspiration, this time around you can either use The Holy Grail or rabbits. I chose a bit of both.

For the bottom layer I used a piece of sanded cherry cobbler core-dinations cardstock (SU). I used the Union Jack stamp from Tim Holtz "London Sights" stamp set and coloured it with cherry cobbler (SU) and faded jeans (Tim Holtz) markers.

The challice is made from the extra large and small oval punches (SU) using kraft core core-dinations cardstock (Tim Holtz).

I used the small oval punch (SU) for the bunny ears and hands and added the dripping blood with the cherry cobbler marker (SU).

Added some bling and voila...killer bunny hiding in the holy grail challice on an ATC :)

You have until 11:59 pm on Friday June 21 to upload your project for this challenge to the Drunken Stampers blog...who knows...maybe YOU will be our next Life of the Party!!

Congrats 2013 Grads!

A co-worker asked me to make a graduation card for her niece who is graduating from college. Here's what I came up with:

I made the diploma out of a little piece of rolled up paper and used black staz-on ink to colour the twine black and used a number die on the cuttlebug to cut out the numbers. Pretty quick and easy.

The cardstock is all SU (basic black, gumball green, daffodil delight & whisper white).

Congrats to all you 2013 grads!!

Retro Father's Day - Scraptures June 2013 Card Kit

I am loving this month's card kit from SCRAPTURES it totally reminds me of Mad Men, the 60's feel of the design papers and embellishments.

Return of the..............Galaxy Paper Tots

You thought I was going to say Jedi didn't you??? Well you're not far off. I think I have mentioned already how completely and absolutely in LOVE I am with the Galaxy Paper Tots from KIKI and COMPANY

I knew for Father's Day I was going to use the Darth Vader tot with my "I AM YOUR FATHER" stamp from the Masculine Grahpic T Die-namics and Stamp Set from MY FAVOURITE THINGS

The star design paper (Rock Star mat pack by DCWV) and spritzing is meant to give the feeling of being in space, and the big circle Darth Vader is on is supposed to remind you of the Death Star...yeah...I am THAT nerdy!!

The Galaxy Paper Tots come pre-coloured, but because my printer SUCKS I added some additional colour to Darth Vader's mask and eyes (weathered wood distress marker - Tim Holtz) and his light saber (R59 Cardinal copic marker). I also used that same copic marker and a black sharpie to colour the bling to match (they are gold originally).

I don't usually do much with the inside of the cards, but today I am taking a page from the book of my friend and fellow Drunken Stamper CHRIS  You totally need to check out her blog to see not only her awesome cards, but the magic awesomeness she does with the insides of them!! 

 
I used Cherry Cobbler ink (SU) for the sentiment and added a piece of matching design paper to finish it off.

I'm going to submit this card for the Clearly iStamp FATHER'S DAY CHALLENGE
