Last of theNSD challenges

This is the last NSD challenge I did in a mad dash last night. The challenge over at BB was Mixed Media, use your pens and markers.

So I tried out the Bandana technique for the background. I think I rushed it too much so I collaged over most of it to hide my boo boos so to speak..

ATC's for Miss Kimmy

These ATC for Kim who runs an ATC club every 3 weeks at Scrapbook Shenanigans in Townsville. She sets a theme and a technique and the girls play along and swap. So I thought I would play along with her. The 1st which should be the 2nd is theme; teapot/cup, technique embossing powders. So I played with the old technique of cracked glass with ultra thick embossing powder. The 2nd which should be the 1st, is theme; numbers and technique beeswax. I didnt use beeswax, just standard tealight candle, as at 2am when I got inspiration to play, I was sure no craft store was open to sell me some beeswax.
They will be in the post tomorrow Miss Kimmy.

Rusty Ozzie and tagged...

Look my 'Ozzie' isnt he beautifully rusty and gorgeous.

Ok I have been tagged by the wonderfully fab Philippa http://www.limetart.com/twistedlime/

This what you do.

1-Link the person that tagged you & leave a comment on their blog so that their readers can visit yours.

2-Post rules on your blog

3-Share 7 random people at the bottom of your post, linking their blog. Let each person know by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here we go 7 boring facts about me that you may or may not know...

1- I drive a 1966 or was it 69 pink VW beetle and love her, her name is 'Chrissy' not named by me, but a previous owner.

2-I have been with my hubby since I was 14. He used to dink me home from high school on his BMX on his handle bars. Thats love right then and there....

3-I am obsessed with many things, one I will share is I love watching Martha Stewart.

4-I have just been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

5-I am a serious night owl, hate mornings, adore late nights.

6-Love animals of all sizes shapes and forms. Have 3 dogs and bird name Howie after the last Aussie PM John Howard who rambles on and on and on, as my bird does repeating 'What you doing??'

7-Told you I was boring, if your still reading this I should send out a medal to you. Seriously addicted to making and swapping ATC's as long as you come up with the theme or challenge..

There done, pheww I wipe my forehead of sweat, however I just cant find another 7 people to tag, this is one of those times you go, get off your butt girl and get broadband to make life easier, yet sticks with the vintage feel of dial up and finding, linking 7 people with dial up is seriously not much fun so if you read this, consider yourself tagged.. The cheats way out..

Love Sarah
