And one more card I made using the Creative License GTG and my Silhouette. This is a birthday card for Mallory's Schnauzer Oliver Twist who turned one year old on Tuesday. He's 81 years younger than my hubby. I was thrilled to find this cut in the Silhouette store.

Here's a layout for this "messy week" with some stencils. And a couple cards using an old Va,engine card kit fromCS and my new Stampin Up stamp/die set.

These balloon cards make my hear go pitter pat. Or maybe I just had too much sugar???

Jen your LOs are wonderful...but that schnauzer card is ADORABLE!


Nancy great balloon cards. That's a great die!

Jen - that schnauzer face! so cute!

Nancy - excellent cards and layout.

Great PSL projects!! I'm enjoying checking them out. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm also really enjoying this thread! I always thought the color combo on the Generations kit was kinda odd, and I remember having trouble using it. If memory serves, I think that might have been one of the first times I swapped in various solids from my own stash to make the ALSB layouts more color neutral. It's one of about 3 kits that I still have an unused ALSB layout for. Seeing it again reminds me that I should dig it out and just USE it.

Those balloon cards are really awesome. I love that die! I'd never be able to come up with a use for it on my own, but the card with the sentiment is just perfect.

Keep them coming ladies!

Thanks all, for your comments. Wish I could take credit for that Schnauzer but Silhouette did all the work. It was well-received by Oliver and his Mommy.

I agree, Julie, about Generations. That is evidently the reason it still sat in pieces in my stash. I'm not crazy about that combo either. But I decided to just go for it. Lying in bed last night, I was wishing I had used white or black as a base. But it's done. And I think it worked well for the photos I chose. The theme, I mean. And maybe even the papers. And now onto the next project.

here's a few cards from tonight... simple but done!

Simple!?!
They're SO pretty!

I love that over stamping or whatever it's called. .oh, yeah, ghost stamping. Love it.

And the succulent...I gotta try that.

I made a card for Mallory's anniversary using my new Moonlight Nuvo paste and the wrinkle free distress technique on the inlaid diecut. I'm gettin' messy this week.

Nancy your cards are outstanding! And you know which one is my favorite. Your ghost stamping is so well done. i've tried that and it just made my eyes blurry. Love yours.


Jen great card. I am really liking the Nuvo products. Haven't tried that one yet.

I only eked out one Get Messy layout this week but it's certainly a hot mess. I used ink sprays to throw (literally) splatters onto white cardstock to achieve the messy challenge. This layout also fulfills the NBUS challenge of using a BIG WORD as well as a challenge to use your ugliest what-was-I-thinking item. Graffiti certainly filled the bill. I did not get this kit but once I stumbled onto Art Alley in Rapid City, I had to have a few sheets of it.

Once I had those messy splatters, I did something uncharacteristic of me and started tossing sequins, buttons and pearls, oh, my, onto the layout. It's truly a hot mess but I think it supports the photos. Thanks for looking.

Once the next challenge was announced, I lost interest in getting messy and moved on to Industrial Arts - Metal and Wood. The first layout has a metal label on left side and metal rivets on the right. The second layout uses colored wood veneers on both sides. I enjoy this challenge. Thanks for looking.
