TLC262 ~ Faux What? ~ 03/01/10

[Toy]

Hello Friends!

Many of you will remember back in the day when we did not have those fabulous Nestabilities. Our image panels were generally square and bland. Then one day the nestabilities were born. Our images quickly turned to round and embossed and scalloped and and and�.. you get the picture. Now we (most of us anyway) want them all. There are so many new shapes that it is mind boggling! If one wanted to own all of them, you�d just about have to take a 2nd mortgage on your house.... j/k.

~ Faux Nesties ~

Well today we�re going to design our own �other shaped� image panels. I�m going to ask you to refrain from using your nestabilities for this one and pretend you don�t own any! Using any other means of punches or cutting, design your own shaped image panel.

For my card, I used the designer label punch, curvy label punch and a corner rounder. The possibilities are as endless as your imaginations!

Please be sure to include how you did your panel in your upload description!

Here is my sample:

~ Bird Nestie? ~

For this challenge, please use KEYWORD TLC262 (no spaces) in your upload.

For the entire TLC262 gallery, lookie HERE.

Now go create!!

Here's today's submission

[bambi64]

Thanks Holly!! Fun challenge, AGAIN!!

[sleepyinseattle]

Thanks Holly! Can we use Sizzix dies or does it have to be punches only?

[Happy Stamper Ink.]

This is an awesome challenge. Thanks for the inspiration ladies. I hope I can find some time to try this out and post one.

[Vicky Gould]

I am trying to edit my card. It took me 3 tries to get this far - will keep trying to edit. Here's mine:

Blue Jay

I also did FS160. Hopefully, I can get my photo edited. Getting frustrated! Have a great day!

[smadson]

This sounds like fun. I am going to try it. I love these challenges because they make you try different things. I always get stuck in a rut, using same colors, same gagets etc. Thank you for this one.

[KY Southern Belle]

I haven't done a TLC challenge for a long time! This one was fun and thank you for the challenge Holly. Here's my card.

January Crocus

I sued a Fiskars Emboss Plus Punch as my faux Nestabilities.

God bless your day and thank you for looking!

[hobbydujour]

What a REAL challenge, Holly!! I LOVE my Nesties!!! Over the years I've aquired a collection and do use them. I think Ellen Hutson introduced them to me on her blog several years ago.

After I finished my card, I realized that I had not followed directions carefully....you said "image panel" and I did a "backing panel". I promise to read (and absorb) more carefully next week.

Thanks!!!....I had to put on my thinking cap and use a lot of scrap paper to get mine!! : )

Hi Joanne

Well, technically yes. I would encourage you to use it in an other manner than it is intended, though! Think of what you can do to change the shape .

I guess I am just hoping people will step "outside" the die cuts, so to speak!

[Cook22]

It's Spring here today!!! OK, so it's cold, but it's bright and sunny.
Took a break in the housework to make this in time for a daylight photo, but I need to wash the floors before I come and browse the gallery.

Good challenge Holly! It's been a long time since I played in the challenges, but I actually got a card done today! Here it is:

[Clownmom]

Holly, what a fun technique. I had to really look through my corner punches to find one that would work well (I didn't just want a corner rounder). I finally used a Fiskars Squeeze corner punch. Here's my card --

Fuzzy Bunny

[ejkeaton]

I haven't been able to squeeze in a TLC challenge for quite a while, but I was really interested in giving this one a try since I don't have any kind of nestabilities or die cutting tools at all. I love the look, though, so I thought it would be a good use of time to try this out and also see what others come up with!!

Here's mine:

Thanks for a cool (and very useful to me) challenge!!

Thanks for this great challenge....

[cindy501]

This is a cool challenge...I'm going to have to think about it. Maybe Spellbinders will check her to see what their new nestabilities shape should be. Thanks for posting it.

I went with *freeform* frames for my images, which I have done before and liked the outcome. They turned out okay - I love looking at your creative, beautiful ideas!!

Boy, I had to use things I haven't used in a while! I had to look for my scissors! We sure get spoiled with the nesties! Thank you so much for the challenge.
I combined it with Friday's Textures, colors & patterns.
