Can You Handle the Pressure? Twist with F

It's a good thing my friends play in a lot of different challenges.  Without them I'd probably forget about them.  Two friends recently played in Can You Handle the Pressure? and that inspired me to do the same.

And I used the twist of the letter "F" for fishing lures.  They are from Honey Bee and my required embossing folder is Castaway from Spellbinders on a panel cut with HB's deckle edge. Lots of scraps were used for the lures and the hooks were cut from black foil.  The sentiment is from their Hook, Line and Sinker set.  It was fun choosing colors and a design layout.

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Time Out #272 - Snarky

It's time for another Time Out challenge and this time we are to be Snarky.

Snarky is not my thing at all but I did find something I thought was cute.

The lures are from Honey Bee and the net embossing folder is from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is also from Honey Bee's Hooked on You set. 

Funky Fossil is our sponsor and they have a $25 store credit for the winner of the challenge so we hope you make a card for our gallery.

Freshly Made Sketches #644 and Can You Handle the Pressure?

Would  you believe that I didn't bring any patterned paper with me to the lake?  Kim's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was perfect for some but I had to go in a different direction.

The panel was masked and inked with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, using varying pressure to get the stripes.  It was then embossed with the Castaway folder from Spellbinders.  This was made to show off the Lures from Honey Bee, cut from scraps of colored paper, with the hooks cut from black foil cardstock from C9.  I didn't bring my sentiments that go with the lures so that will have to go on later.

Can You Handle the Pressure? has the option of stripes so I'm sending my card to them too, although you don't have to use the option, only an embossing folder. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #623

Hey there.  I'm so glad you dropped by.

I got the Honey Bee Lovely Layer Lures quite some time ago because I thought they'd work well for cards for my husband's son, grandsons and great-grandsons.  A number of birthdays are coming up so I pulled them out for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I used wood paper for the corner to represent a dock and hung the lures cut from colored cardstock on  cork, cut with an MFT oval.  The stacked sentiment is from HB's Hook, Line and Sinker.  There are other die cuts in the set so I made another card with them.

While I had all the paper and dies out I actually made another set that will be ready to put on cards when I need them.
