I kept scrolling down and ... WHOA, Nellie! My bloggy pal and one of the Head Jingle Belles - Stef - had 45 unread posts in hers. That woman is a card-making, challenge-following machine, she is! She is also crazy talented, and may be personally responsible for the growing list of challenges I don't do each week. *Hi, Stef!*
So I decided to see what she's been up to, and noted that she has followed even more challenges I don't need to know about. But then I stopped, because I saw another one that screamed washi tape! Who cares that it's 3 weeks old? Pffth. So I dove in.
Here's the old challenge over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday:
I stepped back into The Captain's Quarters, pulled out a bunch of 1/2 sheets of Kraft and Confetti Tan card stock for bases, and selected three tapes. I chose poorly, because this is what I made:
Here's another one:
Then, because I could, I made a white one with completely different tapes:
I promise to put away the washi tape now. Really. I'll also try to do a better job reading my pals' blogs within 2 weeks, although it usually results in a wash (heh heh, thought I was going to say something else, huh?) on the numbers: read 3 posts, add 3 challenges, repeat. It's a vicious** cycle.
Thanks for stopping by!
*Why yes, I do have my own blog in my Reader. It was one of the lessons we learned in a "WTH is Google Reader and how can I control it to keep from going stark-raving mad?" webinar. You should follow your own blog so you know what other people see when they read your blog in Reader.
** Yes, I looked it up in the following spellings:
viscious: (not a word)
viscous: of a glutinous nature or consistency; sticky; thick; adhesive.
vicious: unpleasantly severe. A vicious headache.
Products used but not linked below: Misc Kraft, Confetti Tan and white card stock. Mostly mystery (unlabelled) washi tapes.

Do we need to stage a Washi intervention? Or maybe a Blogs to read intervention?
ReplyDeleteI ♥ the white card. I love how the colors pop!
Well that certainly is an easy technique for creating cards! I like 'em all, especially the last one!
ReplyDeleteLook at your rockin' that sketch ... over and over and over again ... each one it's own awesome design ... sometimes I back my washi tape on strips of white paper before attaching to get a bit more contrast on a krafty background ... very fun cards.
ReplyDeleteYou know, a vicious cycle DEFINITELY sounds better than being caught in a viscous cycle. That is probably what happens in my washing machine. I have boys. That's all you need to know about their laundry...shudder...
ReplyDeleteI love all of these! Even your unloved grey one. A good design is a good design, darnit. I may or may not have a soft spot for the pink & aqua :)
Cute cards! I gotta use my washi.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to make me jump on the washi tape bandwagon yet. Lucky for me no one sells it locally and I refuse to pay $6 to ship some tape. I have some faux washi from Target that I may use someday, though.
ReplyDeletei, too, have trouble with vicious and viscous and yeah i often want to do VISCIOUS for both of them, by which i mean i have a headache that is both unpleasantly severe AND of a glutinous nature. :) :) :)
ReplyDeletebut i digress... or rather, i would be digressing if i had started with something appropriate like, "OH WOW I LOVE ALL OF THESE" or "HOLY MOLY YOU GET SO MUCH DONE & IT'S ALL SO FAB" or something similarly true and interesting; as it is, i LED with the vicious viscosity in a way that is not so much a digression but just kinda NUTS. ah well. maybe my next comment will make sense. we can *HOPE* right?! :) :) :)
ps: i HATE that washi tapes don't have the co's name printed inside the reel! what is WRONG with these ppl??!?!?!
