Shake It, Shake It...nope.

So it's Saturday, which would mean it is time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. This week's challenge was to make a shaker card.....ugh. I tried and failed 4 times, and finally had to give up. My fellow crazies are ALL OVER this challenge, but me....I just couldn't do it. I started a new job this week, and my OCD is in overdrive. None of my shakers were NEARLY good enough by my standards, so I decided to make a card, PRAISE my sistah's , and move on....sorry, I suck. :)

For MY card tonight, I started by stamping the SUPAH CUTE new Claire Keay- Ahoy Matey stamp on X-Press It blending card. I then colored it with my Copics, and layered my image with Baja Breeze, More Mustard, and Not Quite Navy. My paper is from MME Stella&Rose Hattie pack. I used it to cut out my waves, using the My Favorite Things Catch a Wave Die-namics. I also used the Sunshine Die-namics, and more of the paper for my sun. For my Pirate flag, get it...P is for pirate, I used the Typewriter Alphabet and the Fishtail Banner Die-namics. I then used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for my sentiment. My ribbon is from SU, my brads are from Michael's.






Well, that is it for me for now. Be sure to head to the Crazy blog to see what the other girls...who don't suck at shaker's, came up with.
