Kenny K challenge - Music!

Woo hooo!! I squeeked in another week of Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenges!!!! This week their theme is MUSIC, to showcase the fabulous Rock Squad images that were just released!! Soooo cool!!! I haven't bought any yet (I will!) so I used Download Diva, which is part of the Glam Gang!

This is a scrapling card (5.5" x 3") that I made using some scraps I had on my desk! I ran the pink through my Allegro folder (Cuttlebug) and used a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set. I coloured her with Copics and the ribbon is actually from my scraps bin too!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great day!!!! I get to meet my new students today, so am excited about that!! Off I go to work!!!!!

The flowers are really 3D - I forgot to take a picture of it from the side, but there are 3 sets on top of each other, it looks really cool IRL!!! SORRY!!! The sentiment is from Stamping Bella, and the rest of the papers and ribbons and such are from my scraps bin! Bookmarks make such great little gifts and use up a LOT of scraps!!!

This week The Corrosive Challenge blog is challenging you to make a MASCULINE card!!! Here is my card for this week:

The image is from I BRAKE FOR DIGIS - hilarious little frog images!! I love them!!! I coloured this with Copics, then added Crystal Lacquer to the jar, the bottle, the glass and his eyes! The sentiment is actually from House Mouse (Stampabilities) but it fit so nicely with this guy!!! I had the DP in my stash.

Thanks for "hopping" by...have a great week!!!
