What a night!

Well, I know its safe to go to work tommorrow - Spitfires Won 2-1 over Kelowna tonight! Now as I type - The Wings are tied 2-2 with Obama's team..... they better kick ass tonight. Or a couple of certain co-workers will make my life a living hell at work. Moping......etc...and lets not forgot about DH - Oh Boy! He goes crazy over Detroit Play Off Hockey. Its Insane!

So I managed to watch the AI Finals Tonight. I totally think Adam rocked over Kris. This post has a great read on the show if you missed it. Never mind that it's titled 03/19/09 - its a big fat typo. BTW Kara's song SUCKED. Just felt the need to get that out there! Kris looked like he was in shock all night for being up on stage as one of the finals. Too bad it wasn't Danny!!

(((From all the shouting going on in my living room - I believe The Red Wings just scored! Go Wings!)

Back to AI:

And yes I voted! The little recording told me, "Thank you for voting for Contestant One!" Thank you very much. I do walk the talk ya know:)

Other News:

What a day! I have officially lost my glasses. They are somewhere in this house. Very Scary. DH & I have checked everywhere - and no luck. Even the custom officer searching my truck this morning didn't see them. Darn!! lol
After work We bought ten, I repeat TEN tennis balls for the pups. They were in heaven! It was like watching the Easter egg hunt for dogs. Max had 7 in his pile, poor Maggie only had 3. But at least she brings the ball back for you to throw it again *giggles*

I've been officially informed that the Wings Won! Whoohoo!!

It's getting late - I think I'm overtired with all this rambling here,,,,rofl.

Good Night!

Vote for Adam!

Stuffed Animal Surgery & Art Freckles:

Daffy - along with a few others - had "surgery" again to repair Max Damage. We put them on top of the fridge as they are damaged - and I was beginning to realize that the top of the fridge was full! LOL So Yesterday I managed to stay awake long enough to do "surgery" on Max's Friends...... The poor guy takes this seriously, hangs out with me until they are all done and in a pile by him....then he will play. I think Daffy's just about had it......Penguin is a close second. He's lost both arms and legs - but I added a squeaker to him to make him a little more interesting. He'd be in the photo to - but Max stole him off the couch before I could take the picture! lol

Welcome to Challenge SEVEN of our contest............

Here is your Seventh assignment...

1. Create a 12 x 6 layout (12 wide x 6 high -- landscape orientation)
2. Creatively use at least 3 DIFFERENT ribbons on your layout
3. Choose ONE of the following color combinations and create your page using it -- Pink & Black (like SNS) OR Blue & Black

5. This may be a new size for you -- but we want to see your style as in any project you would do
6. Upload in the gallery before Deadline and post your picture in this thread!

QUESTIONS

1. Have you enjoyed blogging through this contest? Is it something you are comfortable with and will be doing regularly?

2. How have you enjoyed this contest in general -- blogging, following instructions, being challenged, meeting a deadline?

3. Do you enjoy scrapping a variety of items, a variety of colors, out of your style? Or do you have a sort of safety zone you like to stay within?

4. Do you enjoy trying new techniques? Showing them to others?

5. Do you enjoy being on the SavvynSassy forums and interacting with the members?

6. We really don't like to incorporate a bunch of rules, but one thing we do with DT Members is put out a schedule with duties. Are you confident you can remember duties as they change month to month and get stuff done, etc.?

7. Although being a DT Member is certainly about having fun and being creative, we feel a DT Member should also be able to help promote the site - do you feel you would be a asset in regards to promoting SNS - if so how?

8. We feel a DT Member should be able to help our other Members (and new ones) around the forum and the site - do you feel you would be an asset to helping SNS members and are confident in knowing your way around the forums threads etc?

9. We like to be chatty. :D Do you like starting new threads, whether they are just chatting, or scrappy stuff?

Wow. This was a great contest. It really challenged me in new ways. This challenge was interesting to me. I really wanted to do the Blue and Black combo SO BAD..... but in order to challenge myself further - I went with PINK and BLACK. OMG you read that right. The "Pink Nazi" used PINK. ROFL

2. use at least 2 DIFFERENT ribbons on your creation
3. Blog your "How To" be sure to include the extra images and all instructions Links etc etc - and link us to your blog entry in this thread.

Creative Ribbon Technique
Blog Entry "How to" (Instructions, Extra Images, Links, Products, etc)
Creativity
Overall appearance & design
Picture of Project (cropped, re-sized, GOOD background etc)

OK So Here We Go.......

The ribbon Technique I chose to do - was "Die Cutting with Ribbon"

I Gathered Up Some Supplies:



Bermuda Cool - #0186 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

Brown - Miami Blue - Lime Stitch - #0188 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

Miami Blue - Lime Stitch - #0187 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

Brown - White - Turq - Blue - Aqua Jacquard - #0189 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

My Xyron 150, some chipboard, (I cut out a piece of a beer box so it was not to thick, you could use whatever you have in your recycle box), my Ribbon Iron, My Sizzix and a Sizzix Die.

First Things First:

Use the Ribbon Iron to Iron Your Ribbon.



I cut my chipboard to 3 x 8 inches, the size I wanted to use on my LO.

(The sky's the limit)



Cut Ribbons to the size of Your Chipboard.



Use the Xyron 150, or your own adhesive, to make the ribbon sticky.





Now Place the ribbons however you would like in order to cover the chipboard completely.

I choose to do straight lines to cover up my chipboard.







Trim The Ribbon:



If your Ribbon is Fraying - Use CLEAR Nail Polish to stop it.



All Trimmed Up:



Now take your Die and position it on the chipboard.

I'm using this for a 2 page LO, so I marked where I wanted to cut,
so that it would be evenly spaced.



Use your die cutting machine, and cut it out!!



All Done! You now have a Die Cut Ribbon Shape that can be used for your LO.







I choose to use both the positive, and negative sides of my chipboard, on my Two page LO.

On "Snow Nose"



I filled the negative Space with Liquid Pearls - Platinum Pearl.





On "Winter Fun":

I used Stickles - Frosted Lace on the Title, and Sapphire Grosgrain & Aqua Sequins from the ZZ December #2 - Explore Kit







Supplies Used:

Ribbons:

Bermuda Cool - #0186 from the SnS July Sassy Kit Brown - Miami Blue - Lime Stitch - #0188 from the SnS July Sassy Kit Miami Blue - Lime Stitch - #0187 from the SnS July Sassy Kit Brown - White - Turq - Blue - Aqua Jacquard - #0189 from the SnS July Sassy Kit Sapphire Grosgrain & Aqua Sequins from the ZZ December #2 - Explore Kit
