it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm gonna make you work for it this week. I want you to get active....interactive, that is! I'm sure you all know what I mean.....if you've made a project that shakes, slides, pops up, has a pull tab etc. etc. etc. it's in.
This is what I did....
.....and.....
....ta-da!
It's a slider card!
Let me tell you a bit about my journey to making a slider card. I saw one of these cards when I first started making cards....eight years ago.....and I thought it was the COOLEST thing EVER. And I vowed I would make one. I even went out and bought Staz-On ink and acetate and everything. And it never happened. Kept thinking I should, kept chickening out. Fast forward to a couple months ago when I won a Lawn Fawn gift certificate.....and immediately put it towards their Magic Colour Slider Die which I had been eyeing up for quite some time. Forward again to me sitting down to making this card.....and discovering that the Staz-On ink had dried up. Geez, Staz-On, what gives? Whadaya mean I can't leave a product like ink untouched for like, pretty much ever, and have it not dry out? That's Crazy-Town right there. (Actually, what's Crazy-Town is the fact that I actually thought it wouldn't be dried out.) Luckily, I was going by a Michaels the very next day....and Staz-On was on sale, so it was no biggie. Must say, that die made making this super-duper easy-peasy. So, I'm glad it took me this long....coz I know without the die, it probably would have been a big ole mess of wrongly measured paper stained with Staz-On and frustration.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
