be-calm.jpg  Oh, Happy Day!

How’s it going!?   I didn’t think I would get a chance to do the challenge today (CC), but I squeezed out a few minutes as I wanted to play along with Em’s first challenge as a new Dirty Girl!!

You have to wonder what I did before I had the swiss dots embossing folder..lol.   Well I used it up but good today because I am eagerly awaiting my new EF releases and I’m sure there will be a new one in there that I’ll fall in love with.   I finally found a good use for the Martha ribbon I bought way back when, too.   I love this ribbon.. it’s so silky!   The image was stamped on GP white, colored with copics and then run through the cuttlebug.  I like the effect of embossing right over the image.

Oh!!  Before I forget….. Here is comes!    I invite all of you to join in the Dare to Get Dirty ‘08 fan club challenges beginning July 21st and running through July 27th on Splitcoasters.   I will be hosting a sketch challenge!!   I will give more info and you will find more info on SCS as we get closer to the dates.   Mark your calendars! :)

Love how you emboss the main image with the CB EF. I’m with you one the Swiss Dots - think I may order a second just to have on hand as I’m sure I will wear out the first one I got - lol!!

Nice extra panel on the front - you are always a source of inspiration. Great colouring job too.

Thanks for the heads up on the DtoGD challenges. They were a blast last year, even if I only got to play a few of them and will only have a few days at home before our vacation again for this year, but I love coming home and checking on everything. Can’t wait to see your sketch :)
