Hello! I'm sorry I've been quiet... Valentine's Day wiped me out and I needed some recovery time. And then this week I somehow threw my back out. Several chiropractor visits later I am finally feeling human again. The Winter That Won't End isn't helping either. I thought we lived in New England, not Siberia! There is more snow on the way tonight! (Make it stop!!!) Although I have enjoyed a bit of couch time and binge watching seasons of Downton Abbey, it was time to get crafting again. Today I'm here again with both my DT posts. First up is KennyK's Krafty Krew!
Our sponsor is, of course, KennyKdownloads! Use any KennyK
image to play along for your chance to win
3 images of choice! However, if you use the optional twist and you're
our winner, your prize increases to 5 images! Plus each of our Top 3
receives 1 image of choice for the distinction!
Our theme is always "Anything Goes" but there is a different twist each time. Today we want you to "Shape Up!"! That is: we want to see your shaped cards (no square or rectangle allowed). I've colored up Handyman for a masculine birthday card. I don't typically make a lot of shaped cards but this one was fun! I used a Classic Circle Nestabilities die (Spellbinders) as my base and layered a Cogs Nestabilities die (Spellbinders) on top of it. Then I added a couple of Sprightly Sprockets (Spellbinders), Tim Holtz gears, black mesh, and a Stampin' Up sentiment cut with Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics (My Favorite Things). The little tire is from a model car kit found in the dollar bins at Michaels. Papers are Boy Crazy (My Mind's Eye).
I'll be back in a few hours with my Corrosive Challenge card! See you then!

I'm here with a new Corrosive Challenge, and I'm excited to welcome back sponsor Simply B Stamps this fortnight! Betty's eclectic collection of quirky images in digi, rubber, and acrylic is sure to have something to please everyone! Some even drawn by Miss Boo herself! Visit her shop HERE for some retail therapy! And for a chance to win a $15 gift voucher towards your purchase, play along with our "Shape Up!" challenge! No square or rectangle cards is the only rule.
My card features Betty Laundry Dreamer from the Betty Boo I collection. You can find her HERE.
I have fussy cut my Betty so she is missing her clothesline and laundry. I had a bit of a printing snafu as I mentioned earlier. The tops of the clothesline poles did not print. Since I was out of ink at this point with no back-up cartridge on hand, I had to improvise. I think it worked out okay in the end, though, but she gave me a scare there for a moment! She's colored with Copics, of course, and I made her a red-head since I haven't done that hair color in some time.
The die used to make the card base is from Stampin' Up. It's a Framelits called Labels Collection. I embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder. I also used an old SU stamp set called Pocket Fun for the pocket. I fussy cut this as well and added flat back pearls. Papers are Simple Stories - Summer Fresh. I added a bottle cap from my stash, a fishtail banner (cut with the My Favorite Things Die-namics), and a flower. The removable tag sentiment in the pocket was created with a SU punch.
Please stop by The Corrosive Challenge blog to see what shape the rest of the design team is in! And if you're feeling inspired, perhaps you'll play along! Today is looking to be a scorcher here so it would be a good one to stay inside where it's cool and craft! Although I have a feeling we'll end up playing in the water, somewhere, somehow, even if it's just the kiddie pool or sprinkler in the back yard! Ah, Summertime with a three year old! :-)
Thanks for popping over and enjoy your day!
