...and DONE! Yay!!!

So happy!   I stayed up last night and managed to finish my last three cards!   I almost gave up around 9, but one last episode of Private Practice helped me stay and finish.  :)   I had to do fussy cutting, a new technique, and even managed to use an image I colored ages ago but hadn't used.   Whew!  Another year in the books!!

Yvette's challenge was to use construction related materials or stamps for a card.  I looked but we must not be very handy because I couldn't find anything.  I did have this awesome set from Two Paper Divas called You Are a Handy Guy that was perfect! I enjoy coloring these images a lot and cutting them out doesn't bother me at all because I love the look of them.  

This was my card for a try a tutorial from the SCS resource section.  I've been wanting to try the Iris Twist technique for ages, so I went with it!   It wasn't as difficult as I thought and I think the result is so neat!

And finally, Lydia asked us to cross the finish line.  We were to draw a line on our card and have something cross it.   I had colored this crazy bird back at the beginning of the challenges and hadn't had a chance to use her on anything.  I decided she was perfect for the finale.

Thanks for visiting and seeing all the cards from the past five weeks!  I hope they inspired you and I hope you will join in next year and make some of your own!

TPD Handy Guy

Happy Friday!   I wanted to share a card I made for Two Paper Divas.  It uses a newer set called You Are a Handy Guy and it is perfect for those handy dudes in your life.  I love coloring the images and I think you will as well.  :)  They would also be fun to paper piece if you like that better than coloring.

She needed me to take her picture while I had the camera out.  lol  She's so silly!  We are off to Costco to pick up pictures and dinner.  I am getting ready to dive into Project Life, so stay turned for that!  I am pretty clueless, but I'm going to try.
