A Little Neon

Hello Everybody!

There's a challenge going on that uses Neon because it's trendy right now.  So I bought 2 pieces of neon paper.  Now for me this is unfamiliar territory.  I only had one neon shirt in the 80's and I haven't look back.  LOL!  So here it goes...

I used black embossing powder for my boom box which I think is from Imaginisce.  Spellbinders for my round pink frame and Coluzzle for my inside circle (this is an old tool I use when I don't feel like firing up the ol' cricut).  The 3 silver circles are Candis from Craftworkcards.  And a sticker that I had that now has a home. :)

The silver circles (like paper brads without the tail) are more the silver.  They call them twinkle and in the light you can see why...

Here are the challenges that I am submitting this card too:

Let's Get Trendy Now! 3-Neon

Inkspirational-Sketch Challenge:  

Simon Says Stamp Challenge- Anything Goes!   This week they are showing Candi's so I had to use mine too! :)  

So thank you for stopping by to see my bright journey into Neon.  Maybe I will be able to use up the rest of this crazy paper.  LOL!  Until next time my friends...my future's so bright-I've gotta wear shades! :)

Hello Everybody!

I finished a page for a couple of challenges.

The first challenge is at Let's Scrap.  It is NSD13#32-use at least 50% of October Afternoon products on a layout.

The second challenge is going on for the whole month of June.  It's called Let's Get Trendy Now! I am submitting this page for Day 3-handmade embellishments.  Make sure to check out the other days' challenges and projects.  Yvonne, Amy, and Julie are super talented and they have guest designers too.

Here's my page.  All of the paper is October Afternoon except the brown cardstock and the beige photo mats.  The center of the top flower, around the title, and the 2 graphics on the right are fussy cut from sheets of paper.

The ric rac and seam binding (brown between the pattern papers) are from my stash.  The letters are from Thickers but the 9 to 5 part is the name of the line, and I fussy it cut it out from the paper.  The flower are made from pattern tissue paper and the file folder is hand drawn and cut.

Home Made Embellie:  Here's is a close up of one of the pattern paper flowers.  I used Tim Holtz's floral die and made many of each of the 3 flowers.  That's a Tim Holtz button in the middle.   I drew and cut out that little file folder.  I used leftovers from a bolder to make this one.  The Notes is a sticker from Cosmo Cricket.

Home Made Embellies:  Here is another flower.  Creating Keepsakes actually showed how to do this so that I had been wanting to try it.  Then center is a clock from one of the OA papers and I put and epoxy sticker over it.  The lady on the phone and the round ribbon ad are from the OA papers also.  I fussy cutted them out.

Here I did some more fussy cutting and decorated around the title.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends...what a way to make a livin! ;)
