Who's Got The Button? -- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Wow! What a week, nothing overly exciting, nothing extraordinary, but lots of little things all coming together at once. Including a package from Bombshell Stamps!!! What better way to share my new stamps than to use the stamps and present you with the Bombshell Hump Day Hop! This week's challenge, that I DID choose to accept was Who's Got the Button?! In which we need to use buttons in our designs. Well here's mine:

Inspired by the patterned paper - Glitz Designs, Rebel - which I picked up at Treasure Box on a whim, this sly wolf -Bombshell Stamps, Sugar Daddy - is just waiting to swing you onto the dance floor!! And remember the rules of this little fiesta, comment on each person's blog and you'll be entered into a contest for a lovely prize pack from Bombshell Stamps:

Shall we see what the other lovely Bombshells are up to?

All the Single Ladies - Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop

Oh man... was this ever WAY harder than it looked. You're talking to the queen of layers, bling and other such sparkly things here. The mission, that I did choose to accept, was to make something with just a single layer... SINGLE!!! That means, no Copics, no second layer patterned paper... nothing but the bare bones of the card. What a fantastic challenge!!!

So I finally decided on a gift set of cards, and in honor of Veterans Day... a little of the Red, White and Blue!

Each card is just one, single, solitary layer, with this beautiful bomshell from the Ahoy Sailor! Bombshell Stamp line. Colored with colored pencils and gamsol giving a nice vintage look.
Here's a close up:

Shall we see what the other delightful, beautiful Bomshell's have in store for us this lovely Veteran's Day?

Lost the Mojo?!

Evening all! Man, I've been really out of it for the past week or so. My boyfriends birthday was a week ago, and mine was Saturday so I was busy with all of that, and to top it all off my boyfriend was under the weather all weekend! I went back to work on Tuesday, and that has been crazy too!!! I guess it's not really life if it isn't crazy huh?

I finally had the chance to sit down and work on something, only to hate my first version... and then remake the whole thing. I know I can be my own worst critic, but I have a really hard time sharing something that I'm not really proud of. (Especially when the project involves anything Bombshell!) And after I had myself a little pity-party over the first attempt, I decided to try again.

So here it is, attempt #2:

What do you think? There are a couple of companies I might submit it to to see if I can get it published... but I'm not sure!!! Just one of those nights I guess, oh well! And now to bed.

Supplies:
Stamp set: King of the Road - Bombshell Stamps
Paper: Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy, Silver, Cream, Stamper Select White - Papertrey Ink
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Diamond Plate
Nestabilites Dies

Angel and Devil - Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Good (snowy) morning ladies! Just a quick post to show you all what I did with the coffin pattern for this weeks hop. I couldn't decide which one to post, they're both so lovely! I'll post more when I get to work, but first I have to forge my way through the snow to get there, only to have them close work about noon like they always do. Then the adventure is forging my way home.
