Make A Wish!!

If your wish that it is Friday, then it's granted!! Sorry you know I had to. It is Friday though and I have a super busy weekend planned. My sister, brother-in-law & nephew are coming down and we are going to the FAIR!! You know what that means ... that's right, lots of fried, greasy, nasty (by nasty you know I mean good) food.
To prepare you we have Friends with Flair AND Friday Fun Challenge. This week's challenge is to make a card for our wonderful sassy girl Jimmi. Here's what I came up with.I kinda thought it was funny how these elements came together, cause they all have to do with wishes. 1) we have the dandelion, 2) we have the clover {granted it is 3-leafed), 3) and a magic wand to grant the wish.
Stamps: Go Ahead Wish (Sept KoM)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Dandelion, Cottage Ivy
Paper: Bazzill Yellow mono pack, Prism SSW, Cosmo Cricket - Earth Love Remember & Repeat
Extras: Art Glitter - Angel Dust, May Arts Ribbon, Nestabilities, SU Horizontal Slot Punch, EK Success Border Punch, Karen Foster Stick Pin, clear eP, Copic
I did a little close up for you so that you could see a little of the glitter/shimmer.

Please remember to go see the other sassy girlies, especially Jimmi and say HI!!

My Goals

Theirs a blog that I that I read called Unwed Human Female and she regularly posts her goals, then she later posts which ones she's accomplished (yes, these are craft related). I think this is cool and think that I might borrow the idea.

Goal One: STRAIGHTEN UP MY CRAFT ROOM!!! Yes this one requires hollering, no not at you me. This one, I've already started on and already improved on since this picture was taken.
Right now the one thing that's holding me up I'm waiting to get a 5" table. Once I'm done I'll take new pictures.

Goal Two: Use more of all of my stamps!! Yes all of them, if not get rid of them. Which reminds me, I have a bunch I need to list for sale including inks and accessories. Here's what I made tonight.
It also incorporates another one of my goals which is push myself outta my box. I tried a new technique.
Stamps: Stephanie Fizer - Owls and Bluebells; Ink: Black Stazon; Paper: Scraps, PTI Clear Paper; Other: Bazzill White Flower, HL Pearl, Art Institute Glitter, Shimmerz Golden Wheat, Mudpie & Bamboo Leaf, MM Black Shear Ribbon, EK Success Punch, Decorative Scissors
I stamped the clear sheet on Stazon then I masked it & ran it thru the xyron. Once I did that I sprinkled with that Art Glitter. After that was set, I "painted" with Shimmerz to give it the color that it has. I think it turned out pretty cool. (Caution: When you do the "painting" be careful not to do it to wet or it will bleed on to the surrounding glitter)
