Think Ink Challenge #19

This week your challenge is brought to you by Alicia Ekermans, and she issued a MAKEOVER CHALLENGE: CHOOSE AN OLDER CARD/PROJECT and REMAKE IT


The card I chose to do over was the one I created for the paint chip challenge.  I really didn't like how that turned out and actually ditched it :(  


Here is my original card, it used the pawn image from "Into the Moonlight"

Now here is my makeover card.  I used Peacock Pagentry set.  I really like how this one turned out this time.  I love the simplicity of it and yet it's very elegant.

Card Pattern Sketch 61-Entry #2

Here is my second card for this weeks Card Pattern Sketch.  This one uses Skelekinz-I miss you from Bugaboo Stamps.  I also decided to go simple with this one as I didn't want to take away from the image.

Card Pattern Sketch 61-Entry #1

This first card was created using Flower Ducky from Bugaboo stamps and sketch #61 from Card Patterns.   I kept the simple and just added a small sentiment to it. 

One happy girl...

As you can tell Abby is very happy to have her own adhesive gun LOL  She always wants to play with my ATG but it so big and bulky it is hard for her to maneuver it around.  I was cleaning out my area when I saw that I had the glider pro "gun" so I went out and a refill for it since it would be easier for her to use.  Right off Abby wanted to get some paper and start gluing things together and then she wouldn't give it up, she even wanted to take it to bed with her LOL
