My Entry

I often joke that behind my pink skin and red hair, there is a goth girl screaming to get out. I JUST LOVE the classic elegance of that dark ambiance; it's just romantic and mystic and unearthly. Yep, my goth girl needs out once in a while and it's challenges like the one The Greeting Farm is hosting that gives me that outlet to set her free. Their "Farm Fresh Fridays" challenge this week just so happens to be called "Goth Inspiration". My heart did a flip when I read this week's title and I just KNEW this was the challenge for me. I spent the WHOLE DAY today working on this card and I loved every minute of it. This is BY FAR the prettiest card I've ever made. And while I hope I win (of course), even if I don't, this card will be treasured.

So here's a side shot because the front view just doesn't do this beauty justice. This thing is LAYERED and is the most dimensional card that has movement because of the dangling teapot charm. Did I mention that I LOVE THIS CARD?!?!

Click on the link above to read about the challenge (there's still time to enter), and to see the inspiration pic... it was SO inspiring!!! You'd never guess that the black veil on this sad girl's hat is just another piece of white tulle that I colored with a copic marker. I did the same thing to the flower.... it started off white. You just gotta love those white staples! From buttons to bows, white can be made to match ANY color with copic markers! Well guys, that's it for today... now it's time to do my nails. Anyone else in the mood for a black mani?

Ultra Rapid Growth - Day 5

Yesterday was my final day for the Nail Aid's Ultra Rapid Growth nail treatment that is available at Walmart (STILL NOT AT MINE THOUGH... UGH)! Yep... this one gets many, many high fives!!! This product not only worked as a nail treatment, I will continue to use this product as a base coat. You guys can judge for yourselves as far as the growth goes. Below are the day 0 and day 5 pics.... but that "rubbery" base layer is the "GETCHA" for me! I haven't used anything like this product. My nails feel stronger and the polish goes on sooooo smoothly. As far as using this product as a topcoat... well, if I'm trying to grow my nails out quickly, then ABSOLUTELY I will use it as a topcoat as the directions tell you to do. I couldn't master the top coat application so that I didn't get ANY bubbles though, so as soon as I get my desired length (which for me is NOW) I will be switching back to my beloved Seche Vite (which I did today). The pic at the top s...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
