TLC315 ~ That�s Odd ~ 03/07/11

[Toy]

Hi friends!

A huge thanks to Joan for covering the last few TLCs while I got my health in order. I�m beginning to understand when people say it sucks to get old! I�m slowly getting my sea legs back.

~ That�s Odd ~

Ok, this week we�re going to focus on odd shaped cards (anything but a A2, square, etc.). Also, as a *bonus*, I�m asking that you use something on your card that you wouldn�t normally see on a card. If you can�t think of anything for the *bonus*, that�s ok. You can also make a 3D item, as long as it�s not square or rectangular!

Some tips:

� Try template websites or the template area in the forums here on SCS.

� If you can�t find a template, try searching for clip art in the shape you want and making your own template. You can do that by copying it into a word document and adjusting the size. Then print on cardstock.

� Use your Nestabilities in creative ways.

� Trace something that has an interesting shape (fold cardstock and line it up at the edge)


Here�s my sample:

~ Splishin� and A Splashin� ~

****** I know many of you like to combine challenges. You could use this challenge as a jumping off point for the Spotted Canary Spring Challenge! If you haven�t seen the details on this challenge, you�ll want to! There is a huge prize being offered to one lucky stamper ********

Oddly enough, I can�t wait to see what you make

Great challenge! I'll be thinking about it while I'm sleeping.

[hobbydujour]

Welcome back, Holly. Glad you are feeling better. Joan did a bang-up job while you were gone. Thanks, Joan.

I'm in Easter card-making mode and decided to carry that theme for my card for today's challenge. I used to LOVE those diorama sugar eggs as a child...I ATE them too. It's a wonder that I have a tooth in my head after all that sugar! : )

REMEMBER THOSE DIORAMA SUGAR EGGS?

Holly, it's glad to see you back! I hope you are feeling better. I am with you.....getting old sucks!

LOVED your challenge idea. I had been thinking of making a round Easel card for a while. So your challenge was the perfect opportunity to do so.

Spring is in the Air

Have a wonderful afternoon.

Not so oddly shaped (scallop circle), but surely being served up on a spatula adds to it's odd-ness! ;)
