Blogger's Challenge #42 --------------------Make a Triangle Box

So of course I did it again -- I woke up at 6 am to realize it is Friday and I hadn't even thought about my challenge! Yikes, and I think it is the hardest one yet -- or is it???? I am not sure why but I have always be a bit intimidated by triangle boxes. I wonder if there is a name for this strange phobia of mine? I guess it don't really matter because the good news is I AM CURED! My first problem was that I knew I would not have time to search all over the internet for a pattern that I liked and then the other half of the problem is that I have been out of ink in my printer for over a week and keep forgetting to get the color I need so I could not have printed out a pattern if I wanted to -- go figure! So I thought I would just come up with my own - after all I did just break down and purchase a scor pal (which I LOVE) so how hard could it be right. Well to my joy and surprise it was really easy and I even made my triangle box into a gift card holder. I am so proud of myself this morning! And I am still on my first cup of coffee, image how the rest of the day will go! Whoooo Hoooo! So on to the box.

The box was so easy I made two! Of course they are not extremely embellished but two none the less!


Can you belive I am still using up paper from the SAB kits from last year! Look mom -- no stamps!



Here is how it looks open. And I even took pictures while I made it so I will post a tutorial after lunch today. My son only has a half day of school so I want to get my nails done and a couple errand before I pick him up. So come back later for the tutorial.

Rubons and more Sketch Players

Just playing around with some of the Sale-A-Bration rubons. These are just too cool.



It was so easy to get them to go smoothly on this candle.

Here are some more sketch players! Check them out.

I was also tagged and awarded but need a bit more time for those so maybe tomorrow! Thanks ladies. I love all the cards.

Mini 3 x 3 box and More sketch players.

This was the project at my workshops and clubs this month. It is such a cute idea and was really fun to make. Usually I would try to coordinate the cards for a set like this but with many people working together I wanted to have different sets so there would be no waiting. This was perfect for trying out the rubons, punches and using all sets that are in the mini or on the free wheeling promotion. We also used textured card stock. If you have questions please let me know by leaving a comment.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #12

Already a dozen weeks have pasted since I started these sketches. It never ceases to amaze me how fast the weeks and month and even years, for that matter, go by. A very nice older gentleman once told me to be thankful that the time go by as fast as it does because there are so many people who just dread each and every day and the days just drag by so slowly that they pray for them to end. When time goes fast it means you are living a full and joyful life! What a blessing that man was to me in the few minutes we chatted at the YMCA. So much insight and so willing to share. So I thought I would share it with you too.

Remember a while ago when my whole house got the flu, well that was how long ago I sent this sketch to the players so they would have it early. During that time I did not have time nor did a feel up to creating new sketches so as with last week's sketch this sketch was sent to me by Kerry at Three Clover Designs who just happens to be in the process of a root canal at this very moment - hope everything is going well Kerry! If you have a sketch you would like to see us use feel free to send it to me at technostamper@roadrunner.com. Now, on to the sketch......




And of course here is my sample using the sketch.......



I loved the retired Outlaw paper so much that I did not want to use this new Western Sky paper that I have had for almost two months and it was not even open! But I have to admit that I do like it now that I used it. Hope you enjoy it too.

Stamps: Wanted and the Designer Label set from the old punch box
Paper: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, River Rock and the Western Sky Designer Series papers
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: Designer Label punch, cuttlebug embossing folder, nestibilities dies, and the HodgePodge Hardware from the spring mini.


Now for the other players this week.......
