Frogetful Sam Lunch box

Sweet 'n Sassy Yahoo Group had a challenge this month to make a Lunchbox, so tonight I took some time to make one. I only have a million other projects to work on, but this one WON out this evening. :)

I went to my favorite scrapbook (brick & mortar) store this afternoon in Mukwonago, WI -and picked up a bunch of new toys (designer paper, Chipboard, etc.) Frankly, I can NEVER have enough. :)

While there, I purchased some Basic Grey papers and element stickers - and some Zach's Life Tags from Deja View.


Here are the details of what I used...



Stamp Sets: Frogetful Sam
Cardstock and Ink: Basic Grey Archaic DP, SU Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Adirondack Black and COPICS
Accessories: Lunch tin, Artichoke and White grosgrain, 5/8 chocolate grosgrain, Red Sticky Tape, Deja' View Fabric Tags (I changed the color of the Tags from rust to Artichoke with a Copic Marker), Basic Grey Element Stickers, Screw Brads, Dimensionals, 1/2 inch circle punch, glue dots.













I took the brush tip end of the Copic and went over the frame and swirls with the artichoke marker to change it from Rust to Artichoke. I also changed the dots to draw it closer to the DP.



Thank you so much for looking! Have a Happy Father's Day!

Bloggers Challenge 51 - Pencilled Glories

Remember about 3 years ago when Prismacolor Pencils were on such a GREAT sale at Office Depot? Well, I HAD to buy them. I couldn't stop myself. But here it is 3 years later and guess how many times I have used them? ZERO!!!!! So today, I thought I would try my hand at coloring with them - I used NO GAMSOL or ANYTHING to blend the color in - this is just STRAIGHT COLORED PENCIL.

The Bloggers Challenge for this week was...can you guess? LOL To use Green Galore, Tempting Turqouise, and Pink - so this is what I came up with....I threw in a little black too.

Here is what I used to make this card:

Flooding in our area....

Hi Everyone - I will be on later this evening, Lord willing. We are having LOTS of flooding here in our neighborhood - The Root River which is 2 blocks down the road is not supposed to fully crest until Thursday.

You can view some pictures here: http://www2.jsonline.com/site/photographerphotos/SlideShow.aspx?catid=1263&N=0&photoid=23057

Please keep people across the Wisconsin area in your prayers! Pray for safety please.

Our GOD is still in control. None of this is a surprise to Him!

As for the Blog Candy - I will post a winner either later tonight or tomorrow. I apologize for the delay but we have extra children here, due to a dear friend's father being hospitalized and VERY, VERY ill. So 6 children in the house makes it hard for me to think...plus with the added information over load of flooding, oh YES! Did I mention Stamp Camp being tonight at my house? Just a few things happening today.

Be safe! Count your blessings and name them one by one!

And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
