LOC nothing square!!!

Hey guys, this weeks LOC challenge is Nothing Square and our sponsor is our very own DT member Kristy!!!  Most of the time nothing square is very hard for me, but this time I embraced it wholeheartedly!!!  I love these little snowmen images, and if you know me at all, you know I have a very unhealthy relationship with anything snowmen!!!  IDK why, I just do!!! 

Bombshell Blog Hop

Hello Lovelies, it’s time for another Bombshell hop.  I know I know i have been missing in action a lot lately, that is a story for another day and another post which is coming soon I promise!  Let’s just say that it hasn’t been a very good couple of months and leave it at that!!! For now!

 

Anyway the theme for this month is Baby it’s cold outside… I made this wonderful pendant using an image from the All my heart set from bombshell… My version of a wonderful Christmas ornament I received this past Christmas!  Anyway, I am lying in my bed right now with not a picture of it in sight, why you ask, I’ll tell you. I can’t go up and down the stairs at this point in time and for some reason NO ONE can find the damn thing for me!!!  I digress though… luckily I have had my daughter stamp out some images for me and I have been Zen doodling on them while I have been unable to move!!!  So my image has nothing to do with the hop theme and that makes me very sad but I so wanted to participate and I did make something for the hop, it’s not my fault my damn back decided to go out on me!!!  Honestly it’s not!  Anyway  here is what I have been playing with while laid up in the bed.

 

 

 

and here is the rest of the hop list!!!!  Sorry I can’t get my picture to you right now!!!  I’ll show it as soon as I get to go downstairs!!!

Paper Rosette Banner Bombshell Tutorial

Hello Lovelies, today I am sharing with you a tutorial for Bombshell stamps.  It’s a Rosette Banner made without using Dies.  Yeah I know there are dies out there but I don’t have them and it’s easy to make them without one so here we go!  This banner is going to be used for a Halloween decoration in my house so it is black and ivory to go with my black and white theme but feel free to use any colors you wish!

Supplies needed: 
Paper Cutter
Paper Scorer
Hole Punches or circle cutters
Patterned paper ( i used Black and Ivory French Script from Canvas Corp)
Cardstock ( I used Black and Ivory)
Bombshell Images ( I used Sugar Daddy, Retro Cowgirl, Man’s Ruin, and the Halloween Costume Digital set)
Inks (Black Soot and Antique Linen distress inks used here)
Double sided tape ( I used red lined tape, just make sure it’s strong tape)

     

If you want to hang it the way I did you are going to need 10 beads, 15 large jump rings and 12 small jump rings, 11 eyelets.  I put an eyelet into the bottom of the last rosette incase I wanted to add something there at a later date.  I didn’t have anything here now!

Hope you enjoy!!!

Bombshell Sketch
