~ Up for a Challenge? ~
January 2nd, 2011 by Holly McMillen
Hi Friends 🙂
Sometimes a challenge can be…. well challenging! Â Â When I saw Joan’s Technique Lovers Challenge for today, I thought to myself ~ No problem! Â Ha!!!!!! Â Because my new motto for 2011 is ‘multi-tasking’, I decided to combine Joan’s challenge with today’s There She Goes challenge to use two or more sets that would not normally go together.
I started with the new There She Goes Just For You set. Â I love the shaped label image and thought it would be great layered. Â I paired it up with There She Goes You’re a Hoot. Â Everything was fine until I tried to incorporate the TLC, which was to color your image with stickles only! Â Why oh why did I choose such a small image?! Â LOL
Here’s what my result was:
Now, I must admit that I love the colors.  I am learning to love the layout.  But the image just seems so tiny.  Meh, I’ll probably like it better in the morning 🙂
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Just for You and You’re a Hoot
Colors: Handsome Hunter, GP White, Creamy Caramel, Old World dps, DCWV dps
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Tim Holtz tea bag distressing ink
Accessories: 3/8″ green satin ribbon, nestie, circle punch, stickles (gold and green), black 1/2 pearls, gold 1/2 pearls, glossy glaze, dimensionals

While I’m here, I’ll share my Featured Stamper challenge card from Sunday. Â Sunday’s FS was one of my favorite people…. Whiterockmama (Marisa)!
Here are my deets on this one:
Stamps: Â There She Goes’ Love Birds
Colors: Ruby Red, Basic Black, GP White, DCWV dps
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics
Accessories: 7/8″ black grosgrain, Â pink 1/2 pearls, red button, pink embroidery floss, Â ek success border punch, nestie, dimensionals,
