10th time is a charm, right? Here is my submission for yet another Earth Day challenge. The challenge was to use something from a magazine. The patterned squares are cut from my Kitchen & Bath magazine. (A subscription I somehow ended up with when one of my cool magazines got canceled...at least now I know what to do with it - cut it up!)

Here are the details on the supplies I used for this card:
Stamp: Studio G
Ink: Studio G
Papers & Embellishments: The Paper Company, DMC embroidery floss, buttons from my stash (probably from WalMart)

Blue, Green, & Brown Card

(Click on the image to view it larger)

This is a very simple card just using the colors blue, green, and brown. The paper with writing is from an old Chicken Little book (one time in the original and then one time scanned in and the text converted to a green color), and then there's some paper bag and mini graph paper on there also. I wasn't sure if the challenge required stamping or not, and I actually didn't "stamp" on it, but I did use lots of ink.

Here are the details on the supplies I used for this card:
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Embellishments: Swirl Clip from OTC
Papers: old book, notebook graph paper, paper bag, and base from The Paper Company

Chicken Little

(Click on the image to view it larger)

This card was created for a "one layer" challenge. The image is from an old book we have (50's era, I think) - Chicken Little. You can't tell much from the photo, but I used a craft knife to cut out a few details and "fluffed" them up to give it a little dimension. It's all still attached as one layer, just with a little extra oomph! And of course, the Stickles never show up as well on camera as they do in real life.

Javan's Picture

Here's a picture of Javan that I jazzed up using digital scrapbooking paper and extra elements.



All done with GIMP using freebies from Shabby Princess, Free Digital Scrapbooking, Pixie Perfect Designs, and more.

Tools of the Trade

Anyone who knows me knows I love anything little. Those who have crafted with me know I love all things Tim Holtz. Well, now Tim is my hero because he created this:



A stapler with staples that are just barely bigger than 1/4"! How cute! I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I even tried to find a stapler like they use on tea bags (but they only seem to come in huge industrial sizes...which would be a TAD overkill for crafting purposes).

Anyway, I am so excited. And...I just won one on his blog! YIPPEE!
