Dino Crossing over at the BBTB2 challenge!

Well it's Monday and that means a new challenge over at BBTB2 and this week it's going to be all about the Dinosaur's. It's Reader's Choice and the original cart was Dinosaur Tracks and since I don't have that cart (and I think most of the gals on the Design Team didn't either, most used  Paper Doll Dress Up, so Heather changed it to Paper Doll Dress Up, LOL) But now if you have Dino Tracks Cart and want to enter the challenge go ahead and use Dino Tracks. There are also  Dino's on Create A Critter, B is for Boy and Birthday Cakes carts.  

Well I didn't know what to do with this one but as always once I get going I just can't stop, LOL! I was originally going to make a card and it blossomed into another layout. I was having some problems with the colors and originally I wanted to do brighter colors but I just couldn't get the colors to go so it's a pretty monocramatic green color scheme with touchs of brown, LOL! And I did ALOT of chalking! It really gives alot of personality to those little Dino's, Hee Hee! I did alot of pen work (which doesn't show up good in the pics but click on a pic to see it better) and did some popping for some more dimension and the journaling spot is under the title where the Dino Crossing is (the font is from Hello Kitty Font by the way) and also, what do you think of.............  

that Lava!!? Pretty cool huh!? Yep, had to get some sparkle on this layout somehow, LOL! So I added some red stickles for the icing on the cake, (or lava on a volcano) so to speak! LOL And also added some basic bundling twine for a bit more interest other then using ribbon, gives it a little more rugged feel don't you think? Well that's it for now, hope you will join us in the challenge over at BBTB2 I would love to see your take on this challenge. It's always easy for us to do the frilly cutesy challenges but this one, at least for me, really was a "challenge"! LOL have a great week, Take Care and Froggie ((Hugs)) Theresa.

Make A Wish....With BBTB2, Blog Hop AND..... A Little Surprise!

Okay guys I had some technical difficulty's today with my blog and I'm sorry if I messed anything up It was for almost an hour but it seems to be fixed now (Hopefully!) and no more problems. It seems a lot of people have been having problems with their blogs lately, does anyone know what's up!? Well back to the Hop!.................

Well it's the end of the month and all you fans of BBTB2 know what that means..........Blog Hop Time! Woo Hoo. I will get to that in a bit, but first I want to share with you the challenge for the week. Julia Moss has chosen the Genie Lamp On the Paper Doll Dress Up this week. Hope you can join us in the challenge. We are also having a giveaway over at BBTB2 of some iCopic markers! I sure wish I could have played along since I don't have any........Yet! I will probably get some in the near future but not sure when. They look like ALOT of fun, but that would mean the start of another addiction! LOL So make sure you stop by BBTB2 and play along with us and enter the iCopic giveaway. Now on to my Genie Lamp!....................

I was really excited to do this one, I love all the extras on both of the Paper Doll Carts. Well I got all my stuff out and then had a mental block to what I was going to do! I had originally wanted to do a layout and started but couldn't move ahead. So I put it away for a couple of days. Then it hit me! I wanted to use the Genie Lamp as a real Genie Lamp. One that the top would come off so that's what I did! I was going to make it a regular card but I just love to make the Easel Cards and I wanted this one to "stand on it's own" because it is Quite Grand! You can almost really pick it up and rub it and "Make A Wish" And your wish will come true. (Maybe you blog hoppers can make a wish to win some awesome blog candy from some of the gals in the blog hop, including mine below. LOL) Well of course, I used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge and also the Sweethearts Cartridge for the Flower. The colors are out of my norm but I've been really getting out of my norm lately (and I can tell you it's kinda fun) LOL! Everything is so rich and colorful and of course I had to add the bling and the smoke coming out of the spout is Martha Stewart Black Glitter and also used a Martha Stewart Punch, Garden Trellis. The awesome copper ribbon is some I got after X-mas on sale (isn't it great!) And the saying "Make A Wish" is a rub on. The real exciting thing about this card is that........................................

The top "Pops Off"! And there's a space to write a secret message or even add a gift card in there!

 

  And as all of you know with an Easel card there is space to write a message or note under the image or even on the back. I'm not sure what I will do with this card yet, if it will be a "birthday" card or a "just because" card so I haven't added anything to the bottom for a saying yet. But I sure can tell you I LOVE THE COLORS! And of course I used my chalks again for some demension and popped the flowers to give them some demension. I may even enter this one into a couple of other challenges on the internet. There is one going on over at Frosted Design & The Shabby Tea Room to use these colors so I will have to share this one since I love how it came out. LOL Well okay now for blog candy time...........
