What A Mess!!!

     I can't work under these conditions, yikes!! So today I am challenging myself to only use the supplies laid out all around  me. I will make whatever comes to mind, not over think my design,  just Do It! I also have several new cartridges so maybe its time to put these carts through the paces, wish me luck!

Jugs # 40

      Today is a better day. I recently had vein surgery and the fatigue and nausea were slowing me down, not good! Today after a nice shower things are so much better.
     Since I have to lay low for a week its a great time to catch up on some challenges and projects. I just had to play with my new stamps from MSE and Peachy Keen Stamps. I have opened my Etsy store and REALLY need to add some variety so this Anniversary card popped in my head.
     As I have said before I love making these easel cards. The sketch came from the Just Us Girls ( JUGS)
and its JUGS 40. I used all sorts of scrap papers I had hanging around. Don't ya just love when that happens! The smiling face was from the Peachy Keen Stamps and the rest are from MSE including the sentiments. I colored the face with Peebles chalks and the details on the face were done with Creative Memory markers. I also dragged out my Nestabilities to do the scalloped circle around the face and a Fiskar border punch. I just love this ribbon. Believe it or not I've had it for several years and I still have some left. I also added a few flower brads to tie in all the colors.

Happy 4 th!

     First of all I hope you are all having a great Fourth of July. We're just chillin' ! Since it's too hot to do anything else, I decided to finish up some projects.
     Crazy For Challenges http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/2010/07/crazy4challenges-c4c44.html this week requested you use 2 ribbons on your project. Since I had an idea for this easel card I thought all it needs is some ribbon and I'll have another project done.
     I love these easel cards because they are so nice to display. The bikini was from "Lifes A Beach"and I used a prism card stock and cut the cute little bikini @ 2".
     The background is embossed with the paisley folder and I added faux stitching with a hot pink gel pen. The
