This is one very late card for the Twisted Sister Challenge this week - where we were to stamp on metal! Well I didn't...long story...bad day...say no more!!! So I thought rather than do nothing I would make a card with metal on it and as usual the family were keen to help and ate the crossiants that were on the aluminium tray...we then washed it and I ran it through the Cuttlebug - I love the look of it and use it fairly regularly - so sorry Sistah's...I had to be slack on this one....but at least I played!!!
I used the Sketch from the CCEEC, I had fun with this one - There are many challenges that I love doing but I think the Sketch Challenges would have to be a BIG favourite - I love the different ideas that everyone has! These gals were coloured with Chalks and a blender pen, I then added Kindy Glitz to the glass of 'bubbly' and also some silver touches on the jewelley and spotted dress - I am not sure it shows up much in the photo - you know how it is with BLING!!
I am on another run of humerous cards as I have had another request for some....so I will be doing as many different things as I can with them this week - I am learning and making 4 at a time but breaking it up by using 2 different themes - it mentally helps me get through bulk orders!
The gorgeous buttons were given to me during the week, along with many others - these ones are my favourites....buttons can make the best embellishments - I love to hunt through the bins of them at the Thrift shops....always good for something different!

Linda this is breathtaking!!! I love the effect! I'm off to give it a go on my CB. You are a GENIUS!!!! Gawgus card. Especially that purty border. Great job and don't let the bad day get you down. Take a deep breath, let it out slowly and remind yourself of all God's blessings. Your home, Husband, children, Twisted Sisters, etc. Now don't you feel better!!!!!

Oh, Bubba is going to love this! More recycling. I always love your stories too. You make me look at my throw aways in a new way sistah. I still haven't done the challenge, but you do make me think..... Your humorous cards are great. I really love how you made the SU border. I think that is my fav punch this year. Your buttons and the piercing on the metal look great. Another fine job sistah-girl! LYMI
