This is a card I made for my Friend Jeanette (Forest Ranger) on SCS...it's her first swap and she came up with a FUN FUN swap...Forest Creatures/Things found in a Forest...

I used an OLD stamp of mine that I believe is by Judikins along with the bucket and some stickles for the Honey. I used DCWV Animal Crackers paper and SU pink and brown CS for card and matting.. I also used some YUMMY MFT Ribbon. Both DP and Image are on Dimensionals (SU) so this card is BIG... the inside pretty much sums it up for ya... YUP! Life of KelliJo LOL

Hanna Guest DT

OK, so I got the PM from Vicki (Summerthyme64) on SCS.... I have the details for the commitment/obligation IF I am one of the 6 chosen as a Guest DT for Hanna Stamps! I am SUPER excited, it will be SUCH a blast if I am picked. You should SEE the competition though... Holy Cow...Virgo who ALWAYS wins challenges, there is a Dirty Girl Alumni and of course Mary.... OMGOSH!!!! I am SUPER nervous....

We will be getting our image (no hint as to what it is other than, "beautiful, and single image") so I am REALLY nervous about that. We are to create THREE items from the image we are sent and have them posted by August 15. One of them HAS TO BE a Non Card item (scrapbook page, 3D item -ABAC) I am kinda nervous about THIS part as cards I can do, but my buddy Kate is the Altering QUEEN!!!!! I am SO gonna have to surf some blogs of my FAVE DT Gals.... THEY can rock the Alterables also!!!!

OK, have a great day..... :)

This is my third and final card for the Hanna Guest DT Call... I used Hanna Tee, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, SU Top Note Die, SU TT Dbl stitched ribbon and some MFT Crystal Adornments. I also stamped the phrase "Diva" in silver ink and used Ultra Fine Silver EP to give it a lil glam...

I decided to enter another Hanna Card for the DT challenge. This is a card that I created for a Swap on SCS... I stamped Hanna, the cut out a mask for her, stamped the Surfboard and then Biff the Body Builder...

I then tore some Creamy Caramel and edged it with my Copic markers. I layered the torn paper to resemble sand.

Now on to Biff... After stamping the scene I decided that Biff being a body builder type of guy would always be greased up and ready for some competition so I colored him over the top with my Versamark Marker and sprinkled clear embossing powder on him to give him the "grease" LOL

I then cut the whole image out with the good ole exacto knife and tucked it in to the "sand".

I hope you like it...

Hanna Guest DT Challenge

I am entering this card for the Hanna Guest DT Spot. I was involved in another companies Idol Challenge and was TOTALLY Wowed by the entries each and every week,...I learned quite a bit and so I thought I would throw my hat into the ring of one of my Fave Stamp Companies... Hanna Stamps.


This card is using the Hanna RockStar set. I used SU Basic Black as my card base, I then pulled out my coveted/hoarded DCWV Rockstar paper and used the Silver Metallic papers with stars and guitars...tee hee it rhymes.. I then grabbed one of the Chipboard kinds stuffs guitars that I found at M's for $1, there were 8 in the pack!!! WOW right??? I colored the guitar with my R29 Copic and then used Metallic EP on it to make it shiny. I used the Sentiment from another $1 set and lifted it on Dimensionals. The Hanna image was quite labor intensive but NOT hard. I colored Hanna with my copics, and gave her some black skunky highlights (that's what I call them) her tank was colored and then Spica Glitter pens on it and the skirt. The guitar I colored with R49 and then used my versamark ink pen and some clear EP to give it that Rockstar shimmer and shine. I then used a tutorial by CandiceL for the highlights around Hanna and decided that Hanna was rockin out on a checkered floor. All corners have Black Tuxedo Jewel brads and each layer of paper is popped up with dimensionals. It came to gether in about an hour so not too shabby I dont think...


This contest can be found here ( http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=440356 ) and there will be selected winners to be sent an unrevealed Hanna set and then the challenge begins again.... LOL I LOVE the idea that it is for a 2 month Guest Term. Although to hold a coveted Permanent DT Spot would be awesome this makes it fun as several of us could win....


OK Fingers crossed....


HERE IS MY CARD.......
