Challenge Title: KISS Technique
Hostess: KelliJo
Keyword: HYCCT1320
Date: Sunday, October 20, 2013
Last year I had THE best time with this challenge, I am HONORED to be able to hostess a challenge this year! My mom is a 27 year Breast Cancer Survivor, my Sister is a 14 year Ovarian Cancer Survivor and my Grammy was taken from us at 84 with what they used to call "wild fire cancer".... Seeing the love pour out, reading the stories of those affected by this disease just made me that much happier to do this little thing called make a card.
I used the KISS technique... I kissed my block though! ;) Yep, I'm not much of a rule follower! :twisted: SO...I inked up my block and then stamped/kissed the block then put the block onto my paper! tee hee... when you don't have a solid stamp image... WING IT!
I chose KISS because it stands for Kindness in Showing Support... If it's all you can do, please show some kindness and mail some cards!!!! It means SO much to SO many!!!!

Nice! I think my biggest challenge is picking out the design from my selection without going shopping. Ha!
It keeps telling me the attachment is unavailable because I don't have permission. Super sekrit challenges are the bestest!
In the move of the challenge it kinda messed stuff up how I loaded it! :mrgreen: Darn NEW GUYS!!! Click on the gallery link and you will see TONS of beauties!!! Mine is the bright yellow one! LOL
I'm kissing and telling! Biggest challenge was finding a solid image among my stamps. Then I decided I wanted to sew since I hadn't done that in a while. I did learn a good lesson a long time ago. Do not put adhesive where your needle will be going or you get a gooked up needle and a big big mess. So this time I used a little adhesive in the middle of each piece and put it all together then sewed! Yay! Didn't have to tear the machine apart!! LOL Hope you like it.

When I do a search in the gallery using HYCCT1320 my card is the only one I see there. Yet I see others have used the same keyword...am I doing something wrong?

Kelli Jo- awesome challenge! I always forget about this cool technique. I used tan, burgundy and light green inks- and paper pieced a few leaves, highlighted with some coloring. Aren't these the cutest little mice? Here's Have a Mice Halloween

Kelli- just had to do another, this time pink kissed with lilac and light green. Had some nice embellies I got at a scrapbook event yesterday- and thought a turquoise background with embellished hearts fit the ticket. Here's Think Pink
