Shopping Bags Galore

No shopping bags for me this weekend! Don & I volunteered from 1:00 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, at Sarnia's successful Ribfest. Ribfest is run by the Sarnia Kinsman, an organization that puts money back into the community--in a big way. So, since Don is a Kinsman, and Ribfest is a good cause, I like to help out when I can. Unfortunately, I was so burnt out on Sunday, that I slept until 1:00 p.m., and stayed in my pajamas for the rest of the day. I'm getting old and it is getting harder to work those long hours--LOL.

Anywho, onto my card. Not sure that flowers compliment shopping bags, but I am known to be "different." Bold, punchy, outgoing are words I would use to describe both this card, and me. The brighter the better. Image was coloured with Prismacolour pencil crayons and blended with blending pencil. Background lime green was sent through my Cuttlebug. Bold isn't for everyone so I hope I'm not disappointing my readers by displaying so many bold cards. Oh, image is from MFT, but I think you know that--wink, wink.

How much do I love bold, you ask? My upstairs hallway, and hall that wraps around my 12 steep stairs, are painted in orange and smooshed in terricota. It's not for everyone, and I have heard, "yup, this is so Beth" -- LOL. Anyone else like bold? Leave a comment and tell me your bold and bright story.

Time to Shop Again

Today's challenge over at Caardvarks is to make a card with a clock face. I have several clock stamps as I love clocks and watches. At one time I owned 9 watches.

For this card, I coloured my image with Prismacolour pencil crayons and added a tab to the MFT image, that says, "Time to Shop." Below the image, a clock face was stamped with Real Rust on green paper. Unfortunately, the picture of the card does not show that pop up dots were used to draw up the stamped image.

I hope you're not getting tired of this MFT image. It is such a fun, and versatile, image to use.

Have a great weekend!

Rubbah Therapy



Well, here is one of my cards that I made this week when I posted the "Do Not Disturb" on my stamp'n room door. I love this stamp from My Favourite Things. It was fun coordinating papers on this card. If you look carefully, you will notice that in the two small circles, the purse and shopping bag were stamped on pattern paper and the two shopping bags in the larger image were also stamped on pattern paper. I think that the use of pattern papers on cards are appealing. It seems to be a popular trend at the moment. Another popular trend that we are seeing, is the use of a tab. I added a tab to the larger image and stamped "Time To Shop." Enjoy your weekend. Happy Stamp'n.
