Monster's Ball!

Oh, boy, was this one a doozie for me! I am not a late night stamper and let me say, it was 11:37 pm (est) when I finally uploaded to SCS. I finished, love it and couldn't wait to get it entered.

TheMFT week 3 challenge for their So You Think You Can Stamp contest is WALTZ! I've been thinking and thinking on this one and just couldn't get the mojo flowing. Finally it hit me yesterday afternoon and I didn't get a chance to work on it until after DH left for work (yep, Tim worked a nite shift last night).
When I think waltz, I think elegance, ruffles, flowing fabrics, ribbons, and love! I created this elegant wedding/anniversary card with the adorable monsters from Monsters Ink. I dressed them up with some elegant Pink Paisley papers, pearls, ruffled stitched ribbon, scallops and a white organza bow. I even made her a pretty little skirt with some tulle and pearls. Isn't it just the cutest?I think I was trying to create something that just wasn't me, and when I finally stayed true to me, it all fell into place. Thanks for the challenge, and thanks for looking! I've got another post later today, it's all girly and full of ruffles! Hugs, Lisa

Electric Cyber Slide!

to the left, to the left....to the right, to the right...now slide, baby,slide.
Okay, so I know that is not the Electric Slide song, but it all ties in, my title and the song, and now I got you singing. I'm sliding in at the final hours of this week's MFT, so you think you can stamp challenge. This week's challenge is a West Coast Swing All the cool kids are doing it, and so can YOU! This is a dance filled with FUN! Think lift, flip and spin! So my card slides.
I've changed my mind a million times on what I wanted to do, and finally settled on this double slider card, plus it was the first time I've been able to stamp since the challenge was issued. It was super easy to make, it was just time consuming for me (now I know why I like CAS so much, lol!) and thank goodness for You Tube. I am a visual learner. here's the video link for the tutorial I used. Dawn's slider card tutorial. I soooo {heart} this card and can't wait to send it off to a special cyber friend, she is one of my stamping idols and I love everything she does (not saying who, cuz I know she'll see this before it arrives). You pull on the little ribbon tab and out slide the top and bottom at the same time to reveal the fun sentiment. Here's a view of it open.
It is so fun to play with, interactive cards are the best! These still pictures just don't do them justice. Here's a close up of some details.
I used the Who's that E-girl set along with the Early Bird dp by Cosmo Cricket. You should go check out all the other entries, there is some amazing talent that hangs out in the MFT forum. Hugs, Lisa
