VCMP #6 & 7

It's a new day and there are more Virtual Card Making Party challenges to be found for President's Day weekend! I started off with #6 - Things With Wheels from Creepin' Along.

I've been saving this stamp for a special occasion... it reminds me so much of my '72 Chevelle SS and the good times that I had with my Dad in the garage, souping it up! Oh, how I would like to find another one like this some day!

Stamp is from Stamper's Best and I tried to channel my inner Chip Foose while coloring with my CTMH markers in Sky and Pacifica. Foose I am not... but I do like this hot rod all the same. I'm hoping that some man-hero will too. (Or maybe some lady hero, to send it home to her Dad?) No sentiment - so it can be used for any occasion, or just because it is cool. :)

Also used - some very shiny silver foil paper and a diamond plate embossing folder by ProvoCraft.

Please don't mind the reflection. :)

Challenge #7 is up over at The Sparkle Within and we were to make something coffee tea or chocolate related, as if I need any more caffeine today... well... there is always room for more. :)

Also used - a random scrap of corrugated (SP?) paper for the holder and a digital sentiment by Bugaboo. I also used a random punched heart and a bit of twine.

I'm off to do some more challenges but there is a storm rolling in and it's making me think that some time might be well spent with a big blanket and a movie. :)

VCMP #5

Last challenge of the day! I had so much fun! This stop might have been one of my favorites. Over at The Crooked Stamper we have been encouraged to use up a whole page of paper and make six cards out of it. What a fun idea... I might have to do this more often!

I searched my coveted Hoarding Drawer. You know, that drawer where you keep your very favorite... not to be used!!! paper. Now I can't really figure exactly why this paper was in my Hoarding Drawer except for that I love Halloween... I love these silly colors and monsters, and I thought I would save it for something special. It's from Hooligans.. (CTMH) and I took it one step further and used up an entire packet of Hoarded Special Embellishments to match. Little felt monsters with google eyes!!!

Wow! Does it feel good to get rid of some of my stash, and especially for such a good cause. Don't you think that the troops will have fun sending these home to their little monsters? What a silly, cheerful card. :)

Even though this paper is really for Halloween, I thought that I covered up enough of the "Halloween" type of  words and left just the silly, monster sayings show through. I also found this super cute sentiment (Studio G) to go along with it, because my very favorite part of the paper... is that little pattern that says, "hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Google eyes. It doesn't get much better. Sorry about the lighting. My natural light from the window is long gone and I have completed my day of Virtual Card Making Party cards. More tomorrow... hooray!
