Another Day, Another Dollar

Another Day, Another Dollar Short...

If I keep buying craft supplies anyway!

It's another Beautiful Friday Morning (I'm hopefully sleeping in right now, but with the baby bump I am getting, I doubt it!)

And since it is Friday, that means it is time for Friends With Flair!

This week I made an altered Notebook that I picked up at a great price:

I am also entering this into the Embellish Magazine Color Challenge. I had to use ric rac, and I guess I should have taken another photo cause you can't see it... It is there thou, I promise! It is part of the ribbon on the spine. Gotta love being able to add extra ribbon on the spine! Specially when you forget to put it on in the first place!

The paper is by K. Mickus and is called CLICK. The sentiment is from the 2009 Unity June Kit of the Month.

I have another altered notebook to show you today. It is for the Unity Addicts Challenge (UAC10) to POP those Flowers!

This uses the November '09 KOM with the flowers and the sentiment. Fabulous sentiment I think!

Don't forget to go check out the rest of those participating in the FWF hop on the Unity Blog.

Also, if you missed the announcement, I started an ArtFire account! Check it out if you have a minute! Both of these altered Notebooks can be found in my store!

Limelight Sketch 34

Limelight Sketch 34 had a product focus of Chipboard!

My Chipboard was the button in the center of my flower. I direct to board inked it with Tempting Turquoise and then Dazzling VersaMark (I am really loving this Dazzling VersaMark!) After the VersaMark I added clear embossing powder and heat embossed. I did that step twice to make it really sparkle and glossy. I think it ended up with a really cool effect.

But don't take my word for it, what do you think?

STUFF I USED:

STAMPS: Unity June '09 KOM
INK: SU Tempting Turquoise, Dazzle VersaMark
PAPER: MS card front, MS paper pack, SU Tempting Turquoise
ACCESSORIES: flowers from Katy! (thank you), twill, black pen, clear embossing powder, dimensionals

Time for the UNOFFICIAL theme, IF you are interested in doing the UNOFFICIAL theme for FWF, next week a few addicts and I have picked the theme of
JOURNAL BLOCKS...
any stamp that can be considered a journal block! So let's show them off next week in our FWF posts!

This is UNOFFICIAL and NOT required. If you want to do the theme, great ~ if not, perfectly okay with me! And if you have a Great Idea for the UNOFFICIAL theme, please let me know in the comments section.

Now, I tried to heat set the Stazon on the photo paper since it wasn't drying very quickly. There was a little mishap and the paper started to melt RIGHT away, so I went ahead and melted the whole layer to make it consistent!

The splatter technique came from Tim Holtz found HERE. I didn't have glossy cardstock so I tried photo paper (which Tim says right in his tutorial not to use, but I tried it anyway!) Mine didn't turn out as cool as Tim's, but not too bad for my first attempt and not having all the right tools!

Here is my example of the Unofficial Theme for this week QUOTES:

STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:

STAMPS: {Unity} June '09 KOM
INK: Stazon Black, Ranger ReInkers
PAPER: HP Photo paper, Paper Studio
ACCESSORIES:
TOOLS: Can of Air, Heat Gun
