[DYSU] Challenge #44 - Teal

This is one of those weeks where I am counting my lucky stars to be on the road and enjoying living in a hotel. Well, one can't complain too much if it's the Sheraton, since they have pretty good housekeeping and comfy beds, not to mention I almost always get an upgrade. The internet is still out at my house, and I was told that it would take 5-7 days for Comcast to fix it. Since the internet has been out since Saturday, it will make it a whopping 9-11 days in a row with no service. That's a significant percentage of a month and their service is not cheap. *Le Sigh*

So please bear with me if you aren't getting comments or if I seem MIA. In the meantime we have a new challenge at DYSU to tie you over. All things Teal is what we're looking for...

We are sponsored by a personal favorite of mine: The Craft's Meow. When I heard of this news I was squealing with glee. In fact, good thing no one was home to witness the oh-so-very-embarrassing girlie display. I was sent a sweet little stamp set called Little Frieda & Lulu - Mischief, which I actually already have in my stash. So, guess what? Leave a message telling me which one of The Craft's Meow stamp set if your favorite and why and I will pull a random comment to give away my extra Little Frieda & Lulu - Mischief! Just because... ;) Shall we give this a week or so before I draw a winner?


Stamps: (Little Frieda & Lulu - Mischief) The Craft's Meow
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Kraft, Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink
Ink: (Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, Antique Linen); (Memento - Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Embellishments: (Mister Huey - Lunch Tray) Studio Calico; (6x6 Template - Mini Flower Frenzy) The Crafter's Workshop; (Stella & Rose Decorative Trims - Mabel "Little Lady" Trims) My Mind's Eye; (Border Punch - Apron Lace) Fiskars

My inspiration and starting point is actually from the current TCM sketch. It's a fun one, isn't it?

If you squint you can tell that I moved the scalloped edge into the card frame itself and moved the trim to the bottom. I tried oh so hard to put a bow and tag in but the card got so cluttered and I really wanted the Mister Huey and my new template to take full effect. So I left it off, and am truly hoping the TCM girls can still see the sketch inspiration in this lil darling card.



Did I mention how much fun I had creating this Teal card? Go see what the other amazing girls on the DYSU blog are whipping up. And don't forget to play along in our DYSU weekly challenge and the TCM sketch challenge!
