I made this frame up for the Ranger-Ink yahoo-group challenge for November. The challenge was to make a project using any of the paint products currently on the market by Ranger. I chose to use the daubbers. I used a wooden frame from Michaels and painted it with denim blue, then used the cloudy blue and lightly streaked over it in a cross-hatch fashion to give it a distressed look. I ran some letters for my daughter's initials through the harlequin embossing folder for some texture and then painted all of the grungeboard pieces in sailboat blue. Once dry, I sanded them a bit to distress them and then tied on some ribbons randomly and glued them on using the Ultimate Glue. I stacked a few paper and silk flowers, added brads, and adhered with glue-dots. I then rounded the corners of a black and white senior portrait of my beautiful baby-girl, Savanna to finish it off. ( Are you reading this Savanna?) I am pleased with how it came out and it was so quick and easy to do! What do you think of it?

On a couple of my atc groups, we are going through the alphabet in our swaps and we are on letter Q. Of course "Queen" comes to mind right away but I don't like my card to follow any one else's train of thought, so this is what I came up with this time.

Last month I won the challenge on BlindSwapAtcs and so I had to choose three items to use for everyone to include in their atc's for this month's challenge. I can't win this time but I still played along and I chose some text, a face, and a bird. Here is my entry for the lucky winner of them all. You can't see the text very well in this photo but the background is all text.

Pat had a fun challenge over at Technique Junkies and I decided to have a go at it not only becuase it looked fun and easy, but because I need three birthday cards this month and two of them right now! I made two of them the same for two of my close friends and then I made one masculine version for my little grandson, AJ, who turns four tomorrow. He likes pirates and thinks all skeletons are pirates, so I think he will like this one!
