*"How to place a bid on my card/project"

Step #1

Find the comment section of the blog that shows the "Blogs 4 boobies" card or project that you want to buy. *Please note you may only bid on the card/project shown in the specific "blogs 4 boobies" post. *Any bids not placed on the correct post will be considered invalid.

Step #2

Once you are in the "blogs 4 boobies" comment section fill in the dollar and cents amount of what you are willing to pay for the card/project. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Remember your bid includes shipping as well as the card/or project. 100% of the money your bid will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Step #3

Next to your $ bid please type in your email address. During a silent auction bidders sign their name next to their bid. Typing your email address is the electronic equivalent of signing your bid. Also it will help the blogger contact you if you are the highest bidder.

Step #4

Watch and wait.

Once you have entered your bid/comment sit back and wait. If someone out bids you then you may bid again. Bidding will continue until 8:00 p.m. Mountain time August 23rd

Blogs 4 Boobies - Card Auction for Feather Birthday Card

I just love how this card turned out.  I guess it must be the color combo that does it for me... or maybe the background paper.... or maybe the feather!  I've been sooooo into feathers lately, from the ones clipped in my hair the the embellished hair clips I wear, it's all about the feather!

Birthday Cakes

Two birthday cake cards featuring Market Street Stamps.  I love how the chocolate cake turned out... the yellow isn't my favorite, but the card is kinda cool because just the little flap opens, the back portion is flat. 

I'm going to try really, really hard to upload a few times a week.  It's been so long since I"ve stamped (as you can tell I'm a little rusty!!) and I just came to realize that I really miss it!!  So hopefully I can squeeze in a couple of hours in my neglected studio each week and can post my creations. 

Thanks for looking!

CHALLENGE: Hot & Cold

This card was made for 7 Kids College Fund challenge "Hot & Cold".... choose either one! I choose hot and used one of my favorite images from Inkadinkdo's Birthday Cupcake set.  I go to this set all the time for quick and easy birthday cards... who can resist a cupcake? The 'cakes themselves were colored with copic markers, then I added Stickles to the frosting and the flames (the hot part of the card) for a little extra bling.

This card was made for a friend of mine at work, and she's a tough little cookie, so I wanted it to be a studded black theme.  The butterfly paper from Basic Grey's Ambrosia line was the perfect backdrop for this color theme.  The silver dew drops work perfect with plain black paper to create a studded effect. 

Wanna check out the challenge?  Head over to the 7KCF Challenge blog and take a peek.  The prize for anyone interested is a $20.00 GC for the new Belles & Whistles preorder images from 7 Kids College Fund.  Can't beat that!

Quick Christmas Cards Continued...

Another quick and easy card for Christmas.  For this on I used the sentiment from Hero Arts "Get Merry" and combined it was the pretty Cosmo Cricket paper called "Reindeer Games".  The paper was cut using a spellbinder oval so the pretty flourish was centered.  Then I cut the center reindeer with a smaller oval, matted it on a red scalloped layer and popped it with a dimensional for added effect.  The dots along the bottom of the card were made with liquid applique.  I love this stuff!!!  Simply make small dots with the gel, then heat for a puffy marshmallow effect. 

Thanks for looking!

Quick Cards for Christmas

Today's SCS challenge was for quick cards of less than 15 minutes to complete.  I used a hero arts stamp set called Get Merry for the snowflakes and sentiment.  I stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear ep on white paper, then sponged Brilliant Blue, Not Quite Navy & Black ink to color the paper.   I then cut it into a rectangle with spellbinder dies, tied the ribbon and added another cut out snowflake for embellishment.

Thanks for looking!

My Favorite Color Combo

Theres something about Olive, Teal and Purple that I just LOVE!!  Today's color challenge on SCS was to reuse an old color combo, so I picked this one.  The stamps are from Hero Arts. 

Thanks for looking!
