Sorry for the Delay!

I'm so sorry about the delay in announcing last weeks' WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge.  I was thinking that I had missed it, and Dawn's comment reminded me that I had.  I've had a family priority this week, and will post the winner tomorrow!  Thanks for being patient with me.

Welcome, welcome to Wacky Wednesday #9! * "Heat It Up, Baby!"

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday #9!   Hi there, everyone!  I’m Bev Gerard (a.k.a. TexasGrammy), and it’s my pleasure to present today’s WW9 challenge, “Heat it Up, Baby!”   So, what on earth does that mean?  Let’s get out our heat tools and use them on this week’s challenge!  You might heat to crinkle or melt ribbon, or heat to use emboss resist, or maybe just heat emboss!  It’s your choice for your own personal creativity!

Here's my contribution to get your mojo warmed up.   I used one of the brand new backgrounds from Rubbernecker, Abstract Floral, along with the Petite Word Set.  I stamped the background using orange pigment ink on hot pink cardstock, then clear heat embossed.  Next, I stamped onto a deep orange card using pink pigment ink.  Again, it’s clear heat embossed.  After trimming the pink cardstock, it was layered atop the orange card.  The seam is hidden behind the scrumptious May Arts Ribbon.  The sentiment was stamped and adhered behind a Tim Holtz Fragments Charm, and tied to the bow with a bit of metallic cord.  Voila!  

 

Card Recipe:  STAMPS >>   Abstract Floral Background, and Petite Word Set  (both from Rubbernecker).

 INKS >>  Craft Only Orange, Craft Pink Passion

PAPERS >>  Poison Ivory, Only Orange, Pink Passion

ACCESSORIES >>  Ranger Clear Embossing Powder, May Arts Ribbon, Glossy Accents, Tim Holtz Fragments – Charms, Heat Tool

Now please come along and join in the challenge, 'Heat it Up, Baby'!   Use Mr. Linky to share your finished project with us, and you’ll be entered to win a 40% Certificate for your entire order at Rubbernecker Stamps!    We can’t wait to see your creations!    In order to qualify to win, you must post a link to your card/project here on this post using Mr. Linky by Monday, May 4.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday, May 5 … Cinco de Mayo!

Getting to Know Candy Williams!

Candy will be the hostess for tomorrow's WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge and we thought you might enjoy getting to know her better.  To view more of Candy's work, please visit her blog, Candy's Land.

I have two children my daughter Amber, soon to be 21, and my son Taylor, soon to be14. I am also a grandma, I have one grandson Jovi, he will be 2 in October. I have been with my (second) husband Cliff for 13 years. We all live in Lake Mary, Florida where my husband is a welder of 19 years, I have been a nail technician for almost 21 years now.

I've always loved to make cards, ever since I was about 8 or 9 years old and still do to this day. I don't really have a specific style of stamping, I just do what feels right at the time I'm creating. I have always loved to color, it's like therapy for me. I love to color with my Copic markers. I have been a member of Splitcoaststampers since 2005, I played in the daily challenges every chance I could. I was asked to join the Dirty Dozen Design Team in June of 2007, which I really enjoyed. Most of the time I'm not a fast stamper.....some cards can take a few days to make, but there has been a few times when it comes together really quick. I can have up to 3 different cards going at one time, working a little here and there. I have to say that most of the time I stand when stamping and sit when I color. I love that stamping has brought so many wonderful and talented people into my life, many that have become very good friends.

Wacky Wednesday #7- Inspiration Challenge

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday #7!  I, Juliana, have an inspiration challenge for you!  I found this piece of textile artwork—there are two views, but it is the same piece.  One is taken with a black backdrop the other on the artist's work table.

What will you take from this??  The colors, the layout, the squares, the “x”’s or perhaps you see something that no one else has seen.

Here is my take on the inspiration piece:

Getting to Know Juliana Swanson!

Juliana (Jules as we affectionately call her) will the hostess for tomorrow's WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge.  Please stop by her blog, Stamping with Inky Fingers, to see more of her work!

I am a stay at home mom with three children (ages 12, 11, and 5) and I am married to my best friend.  We celebrate our 17^th anniversary at the end of the month.

 

I love playing with color!  Stamping and card making fulfills my need to be creative daily. Growing up I had always been involved in performing arts (danced, sang, acted, played oboe, saxophone and piano).  In my senior year college, as a theatre major, I found that I loved design (set, lighting and makeup).  But after graduation life required that I put creativity on the back burner for a while.

 

I started paper crafting in the scrapbook world.  Our family had taken a couple of vacations and I was afraid that we would forget all the fun times—so I started scrapbooking.  A few years later our family was moving to a more remote town with no scrapbooking stores nearby.  A friend suggested joining Stampin’ Up!® to keep up my page-a-day habit and I discovered stamping, card making and SplitCoastStampers.  I found my outlet—my source of energy—a renewal of patience.  The smaller format of a card was easier than scrapbooking to complete with a baby on my lap.

 

I developed my skills by doing the daily challenges on SplitCoast and I have found that I like to use a variety of techniques and styles of stamps.  I am still discovering new styles, techniques and mediums.  Water coloring was my first love in stamping—and I return to it often, but I also enjoy collage stamping, colored pencils, distressing and sometimes clean and simple cards.
