It's an Inky Antics Action Wobbles Blog Hop.. wiggle, wiggle, wiggle :)

Howdy Howdy!!!




Welcome to Inky’s “Action Wobbles” Blog Hop!  I hope you’ve come from Debbie's blog . If you didn't perhaps you should hop on over to the Inky Blog to be sure you don't miss a stop along the way!  Today we are all featuring the Inky Antics Action Wobbles They are kind of like a plastic spring with a bit of adhesive on either end that allows you to pop up your main image and when it is touched it wiggles back and forth! TOTALLY FUN!!! I had hoped to figure out how to shoot a video with my camera and upload it but I didn't get a chance to figure all that out! My card today is based on this week's Card Positioning System's Sketch....check it out if you need a fun challenge to get in gear!

 

Here you can see how I used an Action Wobbles spring along with Aviator Benton  Clear Set drawn by artist Darby, which you can find on this page: http://www.inkyantics.com/may2012hop.htm.

I also decided I wanted to finish the inside of this one... :) The sentiment was too adorable NOT to use!

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, May 27^th at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer. The more you comment, the better your chances are to win. (Limit one comment per blog, please). THREE people’s names will be drawn at random to receive a pack of Action Wobbles and an Inky clear stamp set. The winners’ names will be announced on the Inky Antics blog next Monday, so remember to stop back and see if you’ve won.

 

Your next stop will be Tex’s blog .

You're The Best....Plane & Simple

 

I loved this sentiment when I saw it! My hubby flies the C-17 Globemaster for the USAF and so I of course had to have this set by My Favorite Things! I mean, talk about perfect!!! This is my CPS card from a few weeks ago, yes I forgot to load it! It seems I am a much better creator than I am blogger lately! I have 24 project photos loaded to blog about but just have been whirling along not taking the time to blog them! 

This week we are in DC visiting my sweet love who has been deployed up here since the third week of April....it was time to get some "Daddy time" for all the kids so we hopped in the car and will get to visit with him for a few days....it's wonderfully refreshing to see all fo my children piled on top of him in the hotel room bed all trying to get snuggled up and comfy to watch some "Deadliest Catch".... LOL!!! I hope you have a wonderful week! I will try to snap a few photos of us as we "do the tourist thing" here in Washington DC....until then, ENJOY!!! 

Winners?? Anyone out there?... and a pretty little card too!

I posted the names of the winners of the free copy of my newest book Exquisite Embellishments for Paper Crafts on THIS LINK. STEPHENIE SMITH please send me an email with your address. (kerilee 79 at gmail dot com)...if this goes unclaimed by Monday I will be doing another draw.

Okay business out of the way, I have a delightful card to share with you today. It's my card for this week's CPS Card Sketch. I thought this would be the perfect card to share today as it's heavily embellished yet delicately balanced and I thought I would make a few pointers on it.

First, it has not one but FIVE buttons...can you find them all? The use of buttons in layers and as centers to bows is a great way to "kick it up a notch" without going overboard and loosing the focus of your card, which in this case is the Clearly Sentimental About Birthdays sentiment by My Favorite Things. This card also has two sizes and two colors of bling by Want2Scrap....I am their guest designer this month so I felt it necessary to add TWO types of bling...JUST KIDDING, I am in fact their guest designer but when I went to add my bling I did two things, I looked at lines and scale and I looked at color and "open space". Adding a strip coming out from behind the sentiment panel really helps the sentiment to shine...you may not have noticed if I had left this strip off but WOW what a difference it made it stepping up this card....I then said hmmm I need just a little POP! in that bottom right corner to balance the top left...and BAM two quick dots of beautiful deep blue bling and my card was complete! So don't be afraid of embellishing, just THINK IT THROUGH FIRST and make sure you are EMBELLISHING the focal, vs CROWDING it out. Enjoy!!

A card...on time with the regular schedule for once! :)

I have to admit life has been hectic this past week and a half. One week ago Sunday we got home from our cruise. One week ago Tuesday Adam left for a three month deployment to Washington DC. One week ago today Elliott fell out of bed at 2:30am and broke his arm. It will be one week tomorrow since Elliott had to have surgery to set his arm. And then right following that we drove to NC to go to the twins one year old birthday party, then drove home again Sunday morning....so yeah...it's been a very hectic week here....today we go back to the Ortho to have a re exam and Xray and get a new cast put on EJ's arm....please pray all's well there...because he broke his growth plate we have to be very careful and keep an eye on the healing process...we are hoping to avoid any complications!!!

Back home and getting into the swing of things...

Well I just spent a lovely week with my honey on a cruise of the Western Carribean...it was wonderful to just have a few days of time with "just us". :) We got home on Sunday afternoon and he has now deployed to Washington DC for 2-3 MONTHS...UGH the not so fun part of Military life...

Anyway, I was looking through some files and realized that I never shared my CPS258 card with you all! I really liked how this one came out because I felt the buttons were so perfect for the sketch and the stamps! All of the buttons came from Buttons Galore & More Gold Bulk Button Pack. I just clipped off the shanks and glued them onto the card front and the knot in the center of my bow. I hope you enjoy!

A card...yes can you believe it? I am actually sharing a card today! :) I keep forgetting to blog my CPS cards for each week's sketch so for the next few days you will have a few cards to enjoy! :) This week we had a sponsor but it wasn't a product sponsor so we were all free to use whatever supplies we wanted! I love getting a "free week" because it's fun to mix, match and go kinda crazy now and again! :) I am a newly added member of the Buttons Galore & More Design Team and so I thought I would really add some happy fun to the simple sentiment with a cluster of buttons from the Girly Collection.  By mixing up the type of twine tied through the holes you get a whole different feel than if I had used the same in each, or God forbid left them "naked"!!! GASP!!
I hope you have a few minutes to come and play with us at CPS this week!!! Enjoy!

Create handmade embellishments....

Using stamps, Mold Maker by Sculpey & Sculpey clay!!!! I used a stamp from the stamp set Gifts of the Sea to create these two fun shells...first I stamped the Mold Maker with the stamp, then baked and cooled. Once cooled I pressed clay into my newly created mold, then baked the clay shells and used them as my embellishments. Fun and sooo creative! :)
