The Village People (AKA: Riley)



Here it is in all it's glory!!!! While at the Hanna Release last month (almost anyway) there was talk about making our Riley's into the Village People... SO Kristi issued a challenge and I accepted. I am SOOO thrilled with this card... EXCEPT my glossy card stock was in hiding...I dont think it wanted to be associated with the Village People... there was TONS of cutting and masking etc.... I'm STILL LMAO over this card.... I couldn't resist but had to use the Bling Bet from MFT to give it that TOTAL 80's look! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

The card on top is just a silly lil thing. Sama on SCS is hostessing a swap titled, "What song/music are you?" so me being the smart arse that I am and NOT a squishy lovey dovey kinda person decided that J. Geils Band "Love Stinks" would be it, then low and behold Whimsy stamps released some new stamps (new company) so I ordered the lil skunk and an owl. I hand cut the hearts (just like in school) and layered them on top of my LAST piece of the Doodlebug glittered hearts paper and then punched out the Copic colored skunk. Layered them on and hand wrote the "yeah yeah" part....
The Second photo are the Valentines I just finished before going to bed, I was planning on doing these next week but my buddy Manda commented on the phone that it was Saturday. well I had planned on getting a decent nights sleep as I have to go to Oregon tomorrow for my Aunt's funeral. It is a 5 hour drive and it is nasty I do believe in the Gorge and Iwill NOT drive White Pass after September and NEVER before June.... YIKES, bottom less cliffs and icy roads...anyway I digress... LOL
This is the BC Dzyns Heartbreaker set that I just knew Hailey would love, after playing with the set a couple times I too love it and ordered the other two sets.... Sheesh, how stamps grow on ya... I hope her lil friends appreciate ALL THE WORK! LOL Thank goodness she only wanted 7 made.... PHEW....
Have a great week ladies/gents (?) and I will be back in town on Thursday....

These are two cards I have made lately, the first one I made last night for a MFT Guest Designer challenge, LOL! As if.... It was fun to use some older stamps, that have NEVER seen any ink and I like Blk/Pnk combos. The second I made for McFadden's Gina Kx2 swap. I used my Cuppa Joe set which had never seen ink also....hmmm, a pattern is developing... tee hee! I had to use a stamp from There She Goes coffee set as I needed the coffee bean for the BG. I used Close to Cocoa paper and ink. Then the images were stamped in Memento Black and colored with Copics. The centers of the cup and punched image in the corner I used my 1/2 inch punch and punched them out seperate for the brighter look. I used my Heat n Stick powder on the punched image on the corner and Irredescent Ice to give it some glam....
Hope you like!
