HYCCT-Day #31 AND Hambo Hoedown

HYCCT1231-A Walk in the Woods
Hambo Hoedown #89-Neon Cactus
Well, this is it!  It is the laaaast Hope You Can Cling To Challenge this year.  It has been such a fun October!!! 
Today, I combined two challenges.  The HYCCT challenge is to be inspired by the outdoors.  This week's Hambo Hoedown Challenge is to use NEON. 


I decided to make a Swing (Flip Flop) Card.  Tutorial can be found here. 
I pulled out all the neon cardstock I had and used it on this card.  :) 
The fun image and sentiment is "Cactus" digital image from Hambo Stamps. 
I used PTI's-Sunshine Embossing Plate, and Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. 

Enjoy and have a Happy Halloween!

HYCCT-Day #30

HYCCT1230-Cork, Canvas, or Clay

As the name suggests, we get to use cork, canvas, or clay on our cards. 
I chose to use cork.  I was trying to think of how to use the cork.  All I could think of is that it's used for some bulletin boards.  So, I attempted to make a card that looked like a bulletin board complete with Polaroid pictures and a note to self.  LOL!

Supplies: Cork--stash
Stamps:  Art Impressions-T-1518 Front, T-1696 Front, Basic Grey-To Do's Stamp, Cornish Heritage Farms-Lined Paper

HYCCT-Day #28

HYCCT1228-Clean and Simple Statement

Today's challenge is to make a CAS card with a word or sentiment as the focal point. 

I had a very busy day.  When I sat down to make a card I can't believe how fast it went.  I wasn't thrilled with how my card turned out.  I decided to make another.  :)

Here are my cards (in no particular order):

On both cards, I used stamps from Stampers Anonymous, Tim Holtz Collection.  The top card I believe is "Life's Possibilities" Set and the bottom card is "Patterned Pieces Set." 
Have a great one!

HYCCT-Day #26

HYCCT1226-Who Let The Dogs Out?

Today's challenge is to make a project that  supports someone that might be having a "ruff" day.  We must use a dog  image and include pink, if we can. 

The image is Snoopy Walking Linus by Stampabilities.  I used water color paint to color in the image. 
A very simple card. 

Happy Birthday to my baby boy!  He's not technically a baby....he's 6' tall and turning 14...but you know....
