Count Me In

It's time for the funkie side of the Frilly and Funkie Count Me In challenge!   Jenny is the host and here is her description of the challenge:

"Numbers are a huge part of our everyday lives so it is no surprise they are also often included in our creative ones too. For this challenge you need to use your choice of numbers to add that special 'sum-thing' to your vintage or shabby chic project. Make them count as part of the design, not just a last minute addition!"

I just received the new Tiny Houses and couldn't wait to start a village.  

I started with two houses, my new distress oxide inks and a mix of old an new stamps. 

Each house gave me plenty of play time with the distress inks and stamping with many of my favorites stamps.

I die cut the houses from mixed media paper.  I left them flat and did all my inking and stamping and then assembled the houses.

The best part is that once you start a village you can keep adding on!

The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join in as a Guest DT spot  at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.


Hope you are inspired to take out your numbers and create something to share with us!

Houseful of Inchies

"I" Scream for .... Inchies?  The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to be inspired by the letter "I". I created a series of inchies which were very much inspired by design team mate  Andrea.  I am always in awe of Andrea’s whimsical colorful and beautiful art each week.  I tried to emulate her style in my little inchies by bringing in pops of color.

I started with misted paper and cut them down into inchies and then used a variety of punches, stencils and inks to decorate the inchies.

I die cut the houses from cardboard and gave them a coat of white paint.  I then laid out the inchies. I added a circle tag with stars and words on the top.

I love how the bright colors popped on the white washed houses.

I can use these for fun tags on presents to add a pop of color.
