I cut this picture out of the newspaper this past weekend, an ad for rugs and wall art, I thought the top one was pretty cool, all in circles,,,,,gave me a little idea!

Out came the CIRCLE CIRCUS stamp set

First we have to set up Mr. Nasty…..

Oh yes, he has another little message for Madame Vilaine!

My  Darling – my heart is yours!

My goodness, they are getting so mooshy- A new side to Mr. Nasty I have not seen before!

Ok, back to the task at hand….

and might I remind you – you promised I would win this week!.

so, I took 5 of the circles that I know fit into our round punches,

the scalloped circle

1-3/4 circle

1-1/4 circle

1 inch circle

3/4 inch circle.

I embossed them all with Black Embossing powder and Heat set them, then punched them out.

My card is 5 x 10 in Bermuda Bay, scored and folded at 5

on top is a piece of Kraft, 4-3/4 square, and I used the scalloped edge punch on it

and you would know that, if I had not cut it out of the picture – sorry!

and that took half my time.

I added a sentiment from Fundamental Phrases

ah,,,there are the scallops, and now you get a peek a boo of

my top piece, which is 4-1/2 x 4-1/4 Crushed Curry,

I embossed it with the Big Shot and a Texturz Plate,

after I brayered some Crushed curry ink on the plate.

and I hurried so much – I forgot to take a picture of that…

(it's the cold – dead brain cells, I tell you), tee hee.

oh yah, and there is 16 inches of the 1/2 inch Polka dot Grosgrain Ribbon, also in Bermuda Bay and yep, I cut that out of the picture too…..what a week!.

Here is Mr. Nasty one more time, and this is to the GOOD side,

he did let me win today…whoo hooo.

Circle Circus stamp set
here is the front of my card, I layered some of the circles, and the layered ones also have dimensionals behind them to raise them up and add depth to the card.

and after I was finished, I went back and added a little bling to the inside.

and here is little Miss Lucy, laying on the bed, minding her own business, helping me stamp.

and ZOOM – here she is getting run over by Oscar the Terrible,

followed closely (and also cut out of the picture), by Jack.

they are having so much fun playing these days.

I'm so sorry for so many bad pictures today, I'll do better.

Oh yah, guess what else we did today?  CUT THE GRASS, Weeded a couple of flower gardens and even moved some plants around.  Beautiful sunny day, above 60……we went out and enjoyed it.  The kids were just zoomies in the back yard, running under and around everything……crazy!….

Ok, leave me a comment won't you, then it is off to visit

our oh so talented friend CaroleAnne to see what she did with this color challenge.

and don't forget, you can play along too, create your card, and zip on over to Carole'Anne's blog and upload it into Mr. Linky, easy peassy!
