HYCCT1429 I've Got Your Back Chat Thread
Challenge Title: I've Got Your Back
Hostess: susie australia aka Susie Williams
Keyword: HYCCT1429
Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2104
***************CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION*******************
This amazing month is almost over, I hope you have a few more challenges in you. I asked a lady recently what support helped her the most during her treatment. She said that family and friends did a roster for cooking, cleaning, driving to the hospital etc. Whilst their help was invaluable, she said it was a couple of close girlfriends that "had her back". She could ring day or night and they would be there to step in and do something that she wasn't up to on the day.
Her story gave me the idea to create cards making our own background...without using designer paper on the background. Go crazy with ink, paint, stamps, cork, fabric, corregated cardboard...anything you like except dp.

You know that this is just so up my street - except that when it came to making a sample for you I froze. You could probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of cards this month that I've actually used DP on  .
I've just added a direct link to your challenge, it should show up soon  .
I love this, one of my favourites I've made this month and one of two that I might remake for my stash. Thanks, Susie.

Your card is beautiful Sabrina. I had a little chuckle at your story as you are the Queen of backgrounds. Isn't it funny the pressure we put on ourselves. Have a great day at work. Xx

Susie, although patterned paper is still a fave of mine, I am fast becoming a big fan of making my own!!! I never have to worry if a color is off when I create my own! I had a lot of fun creating this sample. I used a sizzix jar that only cost me a 1/3 of the regular price! I love a bargain. Thanks for the fun challenge!!! I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

I had fun creating this background. I know Halloween is almost here, but thought someone could put this card to use before Halloween next year. Like this look a lot...too bad I don't think of making my own backgrounds often enough.

HYCCT1429 Life is the Art
Susie- a perfect challenge for me! I had fun using my Charles chevron style embossing folder as a background for my Tim Holtz image. Added some hearts, and a knotted yarn vertical border. Here's Life is the Art__________________
