Everyday is Wash Day

Good Morning!

You know how some weekends you just don't feel like stamping?? Well that was me this past weekend. I had another complete vege-out day on Saturday and spent all of Sunday at the mall. The girls in the family were given gift certificates for Christmas, so we all went shopping. Shopping is actually fun when you have money, are at a mall and are child-and-hubbyless! So I spent yesterday doing all my household chores (which included the laundry!) and finally got to ink up some rubber. :)

This week's There She Goes Challenge (TSG37) is to embellish x 3. Use any embellishments you like but there has to be a minimum of three different types! Easy peesy right? Well, for the embellie-impaired like me, it's somewhat of a challenge since I don't usually have a whole lot of it on my cards. But I did it and so can you!

For this card I used the awesome Loads of Fun set together with this week's Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO121) and some of the yummy paper from October Afternoon! (Last time I went to my LSS, I asked if they had any OA paper and the young girl lead me over to their Fall themed paper! *rolling eyes*) In Australia, most people dry their laundry on a clothes line because of all that glorious sun. And if it rained, my mum would hang the laundry all throughout the house. You could have mistaken our house for a laundromat!

For my embellishments, I used some flowers, a button, some twine, some brads, and machine stitched around the image for a grand total of 5 embellishments! :D Those clouds were done with a post-it note cut in a soft arc, then trimmed with a corner punch with the guard removed. The grass edge was done by just tearing another long post-it note in half and and using both pieces to mask off the sky, then the grass (or rather, green ink).

Now we want to see your cards! When you've created yours, just leave a link to it on the TSG blog, in the Mr Linky at the bottom of the post. You could win a gift certificate to the There She Goes store!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you all tomorrow!
