It is DIFFICULT to get back into the swing of things!

I came back from Convention with all of these cool ideas that I want to do at my Mini Convention this Friday. However, lots of ideas equals lots of time spent NOT creating items for my blog!  I do have Design Team responsibilities though, so I did manage to get a few cards done for those. Silly me was thinking that Technique Time Tuesday was due tomorrow, so I used a technique from there on my card for Addicted to Stamps and More!  But it's not due until NEXT Tuesday, so you get a sneak peek of what the challenge will be.  Don't worry, I made a different card for the real challenge date at Technique Time Tuesday!  Not only did I mess that up, I also thought this week was a marker challenge, which goes perfectly with that challenge. Would you believe that I looked at the wrong date AGAIN?! Oh my word, Shana!  Get a life! lol Lucky for me though, it is Anything Goes, so my card still fits the challenge!

I used the sketch from Fab Friday for this one because it had a lot of blank space to go with the technique I wanted to use:

And now it is time for yet ANOTHER confession...I used the colors from another challenge (of course I can't remember which one now and am too lazy to look it up!) that I THOUGHT was due Wednesday. Of course, it was due yesterday, they just announce the winners on Wednesday. BIG HUGE SIGH!  I am really hoping I can get my act together someday soon! :)

I had a lot of fun with this card!  For the background I used the Smackin' Acetate technique. You just take a piece of acetate (aka transparency) and color on it with markers or even stamp on it. Then spritz it with some water, turn it over and rub it onto a piece of white cardstock. For mine, I colored on the acetate with Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz and then stamped one of the blotchies from Gorgeous Grunge with Bermuda Bay. I love the look of the stamp after it was spritzed!  Which brings me to another confession...I used colors from another challenge (of course I can't remember which one now and am too lazy to look it up!) that I THOUGHT was due Wednesday. Of course, it was due yesterday, they just announce the winners on Wednesday. BIG HUGE SIGH!  I am really hoping I can get my act together someday soon! :)
