October 2011

I didn't like it at first which was why I had trouble using it. I think I will use the other piece (came in a pack with other papers) for the sketch challenge.

sorry, forgot to include the blue scraps in the picture.

wow - that turned out really pretty.

I have such a hard time using printed paper with large images like that - good job!

thanks.
I think the key word with large print paper is:

minimal

ps-sometimes I just do stickles on the large image.

ooh - love that stickles idea!

Beautiful LO

My images aren's showing up on my laptop right now so i hope these are the right pics.

I inked the frames and the edge of the paper

Very nice use of "blue"!

My Blue-

I had made these for the bakers twine swap and really liked them, so I made more to replenish my stock of cards.

Very pretty use of blue, Jeri.

Karen - great card!

Thanks!

Karen - i really loved those cards you made for the swap

Sorry I missed out on #4. Hope to get #5 done tonight.

Good luck! You can work early, I know that usually isn't the hard part - it is getting all the pics uploaded

Very nice Cecily. Is the clock on the paper or is it a stamp?

the clock was a stamp-clock face, hands and wings were all separate pieces. i originally wanted to do it in white but my stamp pad dried out. Oh well, I'll have to get a new one

Great job ladies! Sometimes it is good to get the blues.

Love it Karen!

Challenge Six

Yikes is right! Love the paper you used for the LO.

Well Jeri, one more challenge and we made the whole month!

Can't believe we were on posting our entries at the same time!

I have the pictures printed for this one, guess I have to get inspired now

Wow - love seeing everyone's work!

Elephants and Praying Mantis and other animals, oh my!

I have been watching this forum closely as I want to join in but was afraid of not being able to complete the year's challenge. Then, I got to thinking if I broke it down into smaller pieces like the 52 week swap, I think I could do it. I am absolutely inspired by the work of you ladies. It really is amazing that one piece can make such a beautiful piece of art. Great job everyone. Thanks for sharing too!

Evelyn - you can do it! Thinking of it in terms of a swap is a great idea.

The best part is getting things done, but a perk is- it only takes 1 to win!

Hahaha - it's paper leftover from the CK convention - i told you i have trouble throwing thing away

How many years ago was that?!

Challenge 6 ... my cat is really fat and lazy and never gets excited about anything ... but that little yellow bird in the window drove her crazy [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Cute LO!

I know this does not look like a prom pic - but - we were done taking photos of all the kids, and a friend got this pic of my DD and me. It's a special pic - the day before was my last radiation treatment - and I had just told her I was glad I was here to see her prom.




WOOHOOOO - One month done - 11 to go!!!!!!
