I was having fun with all kinds of Challenges BUT This time I wanted to makeOne of my Stampin Queen's a cute card Because she just joined Weight watchers and lost 6 lbs in her 1st weight in this past Thursday WAY to go Girlie !!! and wanted to make it using one of the DD challenges on SCS . This challenge was to use a ton of brads and I also case one of Mothermark gallery cards for the Feature Stamper showcase challenge .. I used this sample of Mothermark's card for my card ... sooo actually I did 2 challenges for this one card .. and I have already sent it to my stamp queen & she should have gotten it by now so I feel safe to show it off on my blog today to all of you .. wink wink .. I had to use Zoofari for her card cause this happens to Be her favorite set right now .. I also cased the idea from Mothermark for my background ..WOWZIE what a FAB-O idea . I used my cuttle bug 1st with tiny bubbles embossing folder and then rubbed my versa mark pad all over the piece and then dumped clear embossing powder all over and heat embossed it ..OH man I love this look .. Jessie said it reminded her of Leather .. I dont know about that ..But I love the shinyness to it . I also used my Karen Foster snap stamps for the YOU DID IT and the paper Piecing punch ( retired ) . I added 19 black brad to this one card HOLY MOLY thats the most I have ever used for 1 single project ..
I also used my dauber to drag the black gingham ribbon across the pixie pink ink pad to change the white to PP . Here is another photo of it upclose .. I swear it is sooo much more shiney IRL ( In Real Life ) .
OH my gosh I have some exciting news from Stampin Up! Convention going on right now in Denver CO.. My Pirate party in a bag That I had sent in a while ago for a SU! contest ( I didn't win ) But it showed up on a display .. I seen in the convention photo gallery on SCS That Belinda snapped a photo of it and Angie seen it and called me super fast .. I have all my Pirate goodies set up in my web shots gallery HERE if you would like to see everything that we did for last years Hostess appreciation party . 
Here is what the display looks like at Convention right now and I am sure alot of my stampin queens will spot them selfs in the photo I sent in along with the pirate goodies and a photo of the Cake my mom made .. OH my gosh I think If I were at convention and seen my pirate goodies on display there I just may have PIMP's ( Pee'd in my pants ) Hee! Hee! Thank you Belinda for snapping this photo even though she had no idea it was mine :-) and Thank you for making my Day Angie
Ok Now if you can handle MORE great news for yours truly .. I won Corinne's Blog candy OH my goodness .. I am in shock girls .. I so Love Corinne from the moment I met her via SCS and through many posts / emails .
