SAF 2015: PINS + NEEDLES CHALLENGE ~ Heather Faux stitching

I don't think I am going to manage a real stitched card.

I would literally have to dust my machine off. Literally!

I will barely get this done before the next challenge starts!!!

I have never purchased any stitching kits, so I made it work!

The bubbles from Home Brew!

Don't they kind of look like stitches?

I tried shadow stamping them like Heather showed but not sure you can see it.

Anyway. I made it work!

And a double bonus. Another stick pin!

YeeHaw!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: PINS + NEEDLES CHALLENGE ~ Melissa Pin

Whew! The stairs from my stamp room to the computer are getting steeper!!!

I LOVE Melissa's shabby style. I cannot copy it but I can tie a shabby bow and put a pin in it!

My pin was hidden when I turned my card to the right, so I turned it left.

HaHa! Not so good snapping pictures that direction!

Don't you just LOVE Vintage Linen?

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS CHALLENGE ~ Tag

Ok, I wasn't going to post this tag, but I thought what the heck!

Not my best work. But I get credit for trying to think out side the box, right?

Some kind of chain. TRYING to emulate the veins of leaves...

I know. It is kind of lame...

SAF 2015: UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS CHALLENGE

My son works at a hardware store. I grew up in a hardware store.

I found it difficult to find flat things to put on a card that could be mailed.

I made 2 projects. This first card, I LOVE...the second tag...ummmm!

The bottom,which is red reflector repair in real life looks hot pink. 

The black is anti-skid stair tread strip.

Kind of cool!

The flowers are water colored Vintage Linen. SO pretty!

SAF 2015: MIX + MATCH CHALLENGE ~ Dawn

Challenging, too.

I know my color combo of Berry Sorbet (my favorite), Plum Pudding and Winter Wisteria was not a re-invention of the wheel...but I have NEVER used them before!

I used 3 leaf sets. Enclosed Leaf, Leave it Be and Leaf Prints. I did use Enclosed Leaf for the veining on all three!

I actually kind of like it. I KNOW there are a lot of purple lovers out there, including my sister Pat *Hi Pat*

SAF 2015: MIX + MATCH CHALLENGE ~ Betsy

Yikes! This was VERY challenging!

I did my best...

These are OLD papers from a Christmas pad from YEARS ago!

It is busy for me and probably needed more white space for eye resting...

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: ACCESSORIES CHALLENGE ~ Maile

I had my fingers crossed my bangles would be curved and not broken this morning.

YAY! They were. Mine is a bit big, but Oh well, I could still use it.

I chose to cover mine with patterned paper.  

It was actually pretty easy after watching Maile's  video.

My Mod Podge is old and it stank to high heaven. VERY pungent!

But it seemed to do the trick!

Thank you for looking at my blog!
