Challenge #11...THE GAME - Punch Buggy (late)

***Please scroll down for the Halloween party post***

Hello, sorry this is late. Once again things have been CRAZY around here, and I have had to pit and choice what and where to go with my computer time.

Saturday Ron went to the ER again, and was put in the CCU, his sugar was super high, he also had A-fib (from the sugar and apparently a BEYOND badly infected toe)

Thankfully, he is not Critical any longer, and is in the telemetry unit. BUT...they have to take the toe. It is the big toe on his bad foot...so we think the fall on the 19th (outside) perhaps he got a little something in his shoes, which started an irritation, and then his shuffling of that foot kind of on it's side when not in shoe and brace (bed time and in the am) for bathroom trips, most likely opened the irritation.   I saw both of his feet earlier that week, and they were ok...no red spots no sores no nothing.

They are going to do a cardiac work-up before the surgery.

So here is my 

PUNCH BUGGY PINK!!

This is an 8" X 10" piece that will be put in a shadow box frame, which will also be decorated.

Challenge #8...THE GAME is Hide-n-Seek

Hi everyone...I am sharing an ATC that has something HIDDEN, which is the challenge this fortnight at THE GAME!

This ATC is a bit older, being made in April, it was for a swap on the Yahoo ARTchix group...But I do not believe I ever had them on my blog.



It was called "Meet the ARTchix"...we had to use our faces in artchix images.  I made 3 sets, as it was a large group, and then I made sure everyone got all 3 images I made of myself. I did this by actually making a 2 layer ATC, in other words one big POCKET ATC, and I inserted a pulled out that was folded, the other 2 images that the recipient didn't get on that Actual ATC, on a smaller scale, and on the inside is some info about me.

 FUN SUSAN

 Shows the pull out

 this side of the pull out shows SUSAN'S SPIRIT

 This side shows SORROWFUL SUSAN

 The other side, with my info

 a picture of them both

ALL images, and most of the embellishments are from ARTchix Studios.

Come join us at THE GAME with your Hide-n-seek ATC!!

THE GAME Challenge #4...HOPSCOTCH

Hello everyone, as you know my husband is in the hospital, well actually now he is in the convalescent center for in house PT. He starts today...YEA!!  I was planning on sitting this challenge out, as i am exhausted and due to the amount of driving and walking I am doing everyday, my pain level has been quite high in the knee, and back. However one of our other DT members had to sit this one out, so I didn't want us to be down by 2.

Anyway...

This Week at

THE GAME

we are playing 

HOPSCOTCH (with a twist of course)

You are to create something you can hang on the wall or a door, it must be no smaller than 4" X 4".

Write down the 8 items and toss them in a bowl (hat). 

Pick  out two from your hat (bowl). You will use those 2 items in that number. You of course, may use other items in your creation, but you MUST use the items you chose.

example:   you got 7 brads and 2 die-cuts, that means you must use 2 die cuts and 7 brads on your creation. Be sure to say what the items were that you chose, in your post.

Here is the Board:

The items I "drew" were: 2 die cuts and 3 textures. 
My wall hanging is 5" X 7"

 All the papers are digi papers from DEZINAWORLD, DIGI DESIGN RESORT and the third I can not remember (red flower) The stamps are CLOSE TO MY HEART.  I used Black Staz-on ink, because I used glossy paper...but it actually stuck to the paper, and pulled the color up with it as it finally let go...I have NEVER had this happen, I am thinking it is because it is a clear stamp and not rubber. So I had to line up the sentiment 3 times to get it dark enough, and sadly on the 3rd time, it moved.   so it was slightly double exposed, and then there was missing black...so i had to fill in with a sharpie. I am upset over it, but I'm keeping this so it doesn't matter much. (I am thinking of stamping it on blank paper trimming it and covering it up though...but that of course will take away from the background I think.

The same thing happened with the vine border, but I think it looks ok.

 Here are my 2 die cuts- Tattered Flowers Tim Holtz die for SIZZIX, I embossed each one with a different embossing folder (2 of my 3 textures)

The 3rd texture is paint that I mixed with crushed lava rock gel medium, I dabbed it on instead of brushing it on to make it lumpy also...so there is 2 textures in 1, HA! 

The lovely girl image is from TLC CREATIONS.
