Fairy Dust?

It's time for another challenge at Desert Islands Crafters Challenge Blog.  Our sponsor for this challenge is The Stamping Chef and my image is Fairy Dust.  I have to admit, this image cracked me up when I saw it.  It comes with a sentiment but since I wasn't given the sentiment I made up my own, which also cracked me up!  I guess I'm easily amused!  Here's our itinerary for this challenge:

1.  Distress it.

 2.  NO FLOWERS!!!

 3.  Monotone.

 4.  Not a Card.

 5.  Use a funny quote or saying.

 6.  Make it sexy for that love in your life!

 7.  use at least 3 pattern papers

 8.  emboss it 

 9.  use ribbon

10.  use metal  

I've used #'s 2, 3, 5, 7 & 9.

Here's what I used to create this card:

Sadly, this is the last post for Desert Island Crafters Challenge Blog for a few months.  We're going to take a summer break but we'll be back in the fall ready to challenge you to even more fun challenges!  I hope you'll play along with us prior to our break.  Thanks for stopping by!  I'll see you again soon!

DICC Time!

It's time for another Desert Islands Crafters Challenge!  This time around our sponsor is The Stamping Chef and my image of choice is Tabitha.  She's so soft and girly looking that I had to find papers that matched her femininity.  Instead of a card, I chose to create a tag.  I'm thinking I might just use the finished tag on the cover of a journal; I really like the completed project!  Our itinerary for this week is as follows:

1.  Lots of pink

2.  Sugar skulls

3.  Suckers or sweets (lollipops or candy)

4.  Hearts

5.  Add a feather or wings

6.  Pearls or gemstones

7.  Add a banner or bunting

8.  Stitching (real or faux)

9.  Anything but a card

10.  Spritzes or sprays

For my project, I've used #'s 1, 4, 6, 7 and 9:
