Blogger's Challenge 14 & a Tutorial....
Ink brayer with rainbow ink. Starting in the center of the flower, brayer the color on the flower by rolling the brayer back and forth. Continue until flower is colored as desired.
Paint the center of the flower petals with the ink using the waterbrush. Allow to dry before using on cardstock.

Scrapper's Survival Kit...
I am going away this weekend with my friends on a scrapping retreat in PA - I am so excited! I can't wait for the 48 hours of creative time that awaits.
I cherish my scrapping friends and I wanted to give each of them a little something. I was tipped off about these cool cans from my friend Sue D a while back -- they were in a clearance bin at Staples for an unbelievable price. I snatched up every one of them --- I knew I would find a good use for them, and so I did! I made these little "Scrapper's Survival Kits" - one for each of my friends. I found this pretty paper in my stash -- it matched the teal tops perfectly -- and added a few Prima's, a chipboard initial, a bunch'a ribbons, and a snippet of stampin'. I sure hope the girls like them!
Each has an assortment of items in them -- a package of tissues, some mints, a mini stamp set, a package of glitter, some rub-on embellishments, a glue stick, and the most essential item, some chocolate.

A little Halloween fun...
I helped DH paint the deck today...I had greay and white paint all over my body -- why can't I be neater when I paint? Oh well, the paint thinner removed the leftover ink on my fingertips, so it's not all bad... Hope YOUR weekend is great!

Blogger's Challenge Week 11 - Adorable

Joyful works -- and an idea for the 5-petal punch...
The card above is another challenge card (I guess I really like challenges!). The idea was to use at least one of the new punches from the 2007-08 SU catalog. Since my Circle Scallop Punch just died (wahhhhh), I chose to use the 5-Petal Punch. After realizing that it doesn't work with some of the sets I own -- I think SU needs a 6 petal punch -- I decided to make Poinsettias!
