Tremendous Thursday Challenge

Ok, it is Thursday and that means a new Product

Challenge at A Shade of Blue. I have posted the

new challenge for this week and it is ribbon.

But there is a twist. No cards or layouts. I want

to see your creativity come alive!! Now dig in that

ribbon stash you have and see what you can come up with.

You do not have to do this particular item but here is mine,

Now remember it can be anything but a card or

layout. I will be choosing 1 person to

send a special gift out ofthe entrys

posted at ASB. Ok, now get crafting!!

Thanks for visiting!! Come back real soon, ya heah!!

War Eagle!!

At least that is what my eldest girl child would say!

She wanted to alter one of these and I think she did a fab job!! Don't you? She did this by herself and is sooo proud!

Thanks for visiting!!

Recipe Box Cont..

These are some of the section cards I made for this box. Can you say Christmas presents? :o) I printed the section names out with Word cause I wanted a pretty font.

I will post another accessory for this as soon as my Coluzze template decides to stop hiding!! hehe

Thanks for looking!!!

Recipe Box

It's not an ornament this time.

I decided I needed a new recipe

box so I got out mytin I have

had for months and altered it.

It took me two weeks to finally

decide on which paper to use.

This is my first try at one of

these! Whatcha think??

Paper: CTMH

This wasmade with mat board scraps from the local framing shop but can be done with coasters.







Accordian Book

More mat board here.

This was also alot of fun to make!!

Some new projects...

Bag-a-lope

This was a challenge at ASB.
I made the envelope and then
made a couple of bags out of it.
These would be great for small
Christmas gifts!!


Paper: Paper Studio

Stamps: TAC

Ink: SU

Misc: Coluzzle, Ribbon, Metal Snowflakes, crystal Brads



More Ornaments

I LOVE making these!! Just soak your dominos in bleach overnight to remove the shine. Stamp your image and color in with Sharpies. Seal with a spray sealer. Used Red Line Tape to apply ribbon. You can also change the look of these if you soak them in tea after bleach. Gives them an aged look!!

Stamps: CTMH

Ink: Palette Black, Sharpies

Misc: Ribbbon, Red Line Tape, Bleach, Glitter Glue

Thanks for looking and I won't be gone so long next time!!!
