FNC 6.24.11

Trish Butler was the hostess during Friday Nite Challenge at SOC.  We had 40 minutes on each project. Her theme for the nite was ‘Best Friends’.  It was a challenge because I am blessed with so many wonderful friends.  These 3 Rhoda, Janiece and Veronica are the ones I talk to on a weekly basis. I had a hard time finding photos of my friends so the next time I see them it will be a KODAK MOMENT.  We had to create a layout including the questions below.  Instead of the 3^rd question I used a quote that reflects their friendship to me.

1.    Where did you meet your best friend(s)?

2.    What make your best friend(s) so special to you?  How do your friend(s) inspire you?

3.    What two things you have in common that really make your friendship special?

  I usually type my journaling but my printer had no ink.  Acid free pen to the rescue!

Growing Up

Look what I created for Platinumscraps!  When I saw the pagemap I didn’t think photos, I thought digitals!   I made a recent purchase of about 10 digital images from Mr. Robert Jackson.  WOW!  It was a hard selection.  His digis truly speak to the soul.  That’s what got my inspiration going in this 2 page layout using the digis that reminded me of ‘Way Back When’.  Growing up then is totally different from now.  We had REAL fun.  The journaling speaks from my heart. 

Tell me what your favorite activity or memory was when you were Growing up. 



Products Used:
Pink Paislee Starlight alphabet stickers, element stickers, Pink Paislee Made in the USA & Dream Big pp, Martha Stewart edge punch, Recollections bling & ribbon, Bic Mark it markers, Digital images by Mr. Robert Jackson

Accents of the zebra and leopard prints are from Me & My Big Ideas pp and the majority of the paper is by Carol Rose Garden "A Day at the Zoo". I love her paper.  Other products used:  Prima flower, Tim Holtz flourish covered with orange stickles, Making Memories Chloe's closet bling,   Michaels butterfly, Dress it Up lion, African art tassel, a strip of beaded ribbon, and EK Success adornament fiber.

Mary Joyce was the hostess with the mostess at tonight’s Friday Nite Challenge on SOC.  She had me sweating, but it was a FUN Fashionista night!  It's been about two weeks so I guess I had to get back in the flow of things.  Check out the cards I created.



I went way back and used Sandy Clough lace frame.  An item I purchased way back in the late 90's.  We were to use the image on the far left.  I added a stamp by B Line Designs LLC -- Girl Talk. I used pop dots so that the image could stand out.  Used a Spellbinder shape for the sentiment



1st Challenge:  Use my creativeness to come up with a card  that looks like a prom dress. -- I pulled out my Cricut and cut a bodice to make a dress.  Guess I could use some sewing lessons huh?  lol   It took me 31 minutes...yes just shy of one minute.

2nd Challenge: Make a card with a piece of clothing on it, must have some kind of animal print, and must also have some bling --  I pulled some kente cloth off an album I'm working on and ironed it.  I did a quick job on coloring and still made it within 30 minutes, but I forgot the bling.

. 

3rd Challenge:  Make a card that has a shoe or footwear. Must have some bling, a border punch and a flower. Use a sentiment also. -- This was a quick and easy one.  I met the deadline using MyCreativeScrapbook April 2010 kit.  Stamp is by Tara Reed Designs/Stamps Happen, Inc. Best Pump Forward. 

Thanks for looking.  Would appreciate your comments!
