Your Big Moment!

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a great weekend and you have fun plans for the week ahead!  Sheesh, was it ever hot this weekend!  My thoughts go out to everyone still dealing with the high heat and storms and lack of power.  Although we had temps in the 100's, we did not lose power.   It's been raining all day here today.  We really needed it after several weeks with no rain, so no complaints.  Anyway, I didn't have much time in the craft room or on the computer this weekend for a variety of reasons, but I did manage to make one card for Jackson's Digital Expressions Challenge # 10 (anything goes with sketch optional).

Here is the sketch:


Here is my card:


I started with a card base of GKD Red Hot and layered bright patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Fine & Sunny 6.5x6.5 pad.  For the banner across the top, I used one of the diecuts from the same pad, to which I added a few rhinestones.   My fun image is At The Casino from Fine Arts by Robert Jackson.  It is in the Seniors section of Robert's store here.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles here and there for some sparkle and Glossy Accents to her glasses and a few places on the slot machine.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few more rhinestones and a chevron-striped bow finished off my card.

My card is also for the new Oozak Challenge #4 - Bright Colors.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to get back in the swing of things this week!  See you soon!

  1. Carla, this is too funny. Love your colorful card and the wonderful ribbon. Every time I see that ribbon, I want to buy some. I guess that makes you an enabler.Ha

    Oh, I can't believe you're getting rain. How awesome. We had a 15 min. or less shower this morning and the sun came out. Too bad.

  3. Carla, so very cute and loving your papers!! It is super hot here as well. We don't have temps in the low 100's very often in the mountains and I was without power this weekend due to the wind storms coming through. We made it pretty good though with the heat. Hope things cool down for us all soon, and enjoy that rain!
