Chips Ahoy!!

I thought we could all do with a bit of humour today after a busy few weeks...so what better way to do it than those adorable Emerson gals...how could you not love them!  I was inspired by the 2RedBananas Challenge which was a sketch this week - phew!! Also the Stamp Something Challenges which is all about BLING, along with the If the Shoe Fits which is also about BLING!!  I must say at this point that I was also motivated by the fact that it dawned on me this morning as I was getting organised for the day, that I was meant to have made 10 cards for one of the boutiques that sells my card - OOPS - my bad!!



This particular one always makes me laugh - if only it was just the chocolate chips! LOL!  I guess a lot of us can relate to it in one way or another!



I really like this particular sketch, it worked well for using up those bits of DP that we collect (and have them ALL over the place) so I feel that I can justify the time spent by deluding myself  that I have cleaned my desk - but it would seem that no-one else in may house hold is fooled! LOL!

I used the Labels 1 Nestibilitie to cut out the image, coloured them with chalks and added highlights with a Glitter pen....and you know me - I sponged every edge in sight.  The layers are all backed with black CS.  I have popped the image up on dimensionals and added a layered flower to the side.  The top flower is actually foam - I wasn't sure about these at first, but I love the way they 'pop' up when a brad is used....the final touch is the Kaiser strip of gems - quick and easy - I managed to get three of these made in a couple of hours, which is pretty quick for me, usually I agonise for-ev-a!!

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments - you are so very kind!!  I love seeing that you have been AND you can be pretty sure I will be back soon as I have 7 more cards to make for Thursday as well as a few general ones....it is a hard job but somebodies got to do it!  LOL!  God bless you!

    Listen, honey, you had it all together this morning, combining all of those challenges! So, you forgot to create a few cards, they'll get done! ;] You are funny, have a good one.
