And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain...don't carry the world upon your shoulders...

Happy Friday, y'all! How have y'all been? We have been running crazy getting ready to go back to school in a week...not like I'm counting. *wink*

I have a few more cards to share with you from the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges. This one features the new Strawberry Twine, Text Objects background stamp from Verve, and a cute little stamp set and papers from Basic Grey.
A closer look:
Next up is a clean and simple card with more Verve stamps:
I used two of the flowers from Abundant Blessings in bright colors, then stamped the sentiment from Fabulous You in black Versafine ink. Then I added some coarse crystal glitter to the flower centers.

Hey y'all, happy Tuesday! I have a surprise for you today...some crafty stuff! I've been playing along with the Dare to Get Dirty 2012 challenges over on Splitcoast and having a great time! I've completed 2 cards (of the *ahem* 21 challenges that have been posted), but I sure had fun! 

Here's my card for Lydia's Challenge:
I used an old Cuttlebug alphabet die set (Red Tag Alpha I think it's called?) Then I covered the letters with Glossy Accents and dipped 'em in coarse crystal glitter. Here's a closeup:

Polka dots, scallops, and glitter. Makes me happy!

 

The next card I made was for Stacy's Challenge, and I LOVE how it turned out:

I paired stamps from Back in the Saddle from Waltzingmouse Stamps with papers from the Wanted collection by Cosmo Cricket. A match made in heaven! I stamped the sentiment first in Black Stazon on Kraft cardstock. Then I stamped the horse and rider image in Versamark on top. Here's a closer look:

I had a little helper who decided that my OTT-Lite was a perfect warmer and a great spot to nap, so I thought I'd show you. *grin*

 

Thanks for stopping by...hope to have some more good stuff for you to see soon! Have a fabulous day!
