UFO Challenge #22: Copper

This week I am continuing with my Finish Your Unfinished Objects Challenge.  And working with the Anniversary theme, the 22th anniversary, this weeks extra entry is for using copper in your unfinished object.  Remember you get an entry for working on any unfinished project and leave a comment on your project for an entry or post a comment to our Facebook group. 
For my project pictured above, I used copper sheeting, with my Cricut Explore to make this Happy Birthday Card.  I used Anna Griffin's Sentiment with an Iron Ornamental Frame cartridge frame and embossed them both with the embossing tip.  I found a tutorial on how to here.   I then sprayed it with Dylusions Ink Spray in London Blue.  This was so much easier than using the Stazon and alcohol in the tutorial and I wanted to use blue instead of black.  Once I sprayed it, I just wiped off the excess with a tissue.  The die cut cuts are all Anna Griffin too!

UFO Challenge #21: Brass or Nickle

This week I am continuing with my Finish Your Unfinished Objects Challenge.  And working with the Anniversary theme, the 21th anniversary, this weeks extra entry is for using brass or nickel in your unfinished object.  Remember you get an entry for working on any unfinished project and leave a comment on your project for an entry or post a comment to our Facebook group. 
Above you can see a page I made with metallic paper, Heartfelt Creations dies and the Cricut.  Find more details on this page here.  You can use metallic paper for an extra entry this week too!
Also, I am late to posting our next prize, so this prize will be awarded to one name picked from any entry in May or June and is open to all US residents.  The prize is for a $25.00 Starbucks gift card.

UFO Challenge #20: Platinum

How are your UFO's coming?  We are 20 weeks into this challenge and I have seen a drop off in our entries.  I know my family is busy with end of school year projects and field trips.  So, even if you can't get to a UFO this week, consider what you can get done this Summer! 
Work on any Unfinished Object for an entry and for an extra entry this week, work on any project with platinum or silver paper, yarn, paint etc. 

I just finished up some thank you cards for our Music Booster President and Vice President.   There terms end this year and we needed a special thank you.  I started with Anna Griffin Card bases from her pop up card kit.  The swirls and sentiments are from her kits.  I wrote "the gift of Music" with my Cricut Explore (from Quarter Note cartridge).  The French horn is also from the Cricut Quarter note Cartridge.  The 427 is made with Thicker stickers.  I took the Spartan motif off our high schools website and with some cropping of the photo I was able to use Cricut Design Studio to make my own cut.  Fabulous!

I am loving Anna Griffin's card kits so well that I am considering only adding her product to the stash and using up all my other items to supplement her products.  

UFO Challenge #19: Aquamarine

This week I am continuing with my Finish Your Unfinished Objects Challenge.  And working with the Anniversary theme, the 19th anniversary, this weeks extra entry is for finishing a with the color aquamarine.  So work on any UFO (unfinished object) with the color aquamarine for an extra entry this week.  Above you can see a portion of a baby quilt I made with aquamarine and purple!  To enter the challenge, just leave a link to your UFO project below or join my FB group.

Music Scholarship Thank You with Anna Griffin and Cricut

I made a thank you note for a music scholarship with an Anna Griffin card kit, Cricut Quarter Note cartridge and some musical paper by Steve's Pages licensed exclusively by Sugartree.  I can't say enough about Anna's Card Kits and how well priced they are!  They are on HSN starting early tomorrow!

I actually considered purchasing the Quarter Note cartridge for the French Horn and realized that the Cricut monthly subscription is the way to go for me! 

Finish Your UFO Challenge 18

This week I am continuing with my Finish Your Unfinished Objects Challenge.  And working with the Anniversary theme, the 18th anniversary, this weeks extra entry if for finishing a porcelain UFO, a paper clay project or a paper craft with the image of porcelain in it. 
Since I am not sure how possible it is to start a porcelain project, abandon it mid project and then finish it later; any project you have supplies for and haven't started is eligible for this weeks challenge extra entry.
Here are some projects I would like to try that are related to this weeks challenge that I would love to make one day:

• DIY Stamped Clay Bowls like these found on Gathering Beauty (See photo above).
• DIY Lace embossed Clay Bowl like the one found on this Duitang blog.  See the photo below.
• DIY Lace embossed Clay trays that the link no longer works for below.
