3 ... 2 ... 1 ... It's Challenge Time!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the Riley and Company Blog, it's that time again .... challenge time!

This week our challenge hostess is Cathy Edgar. Cathy has given us a fun 3 ... 2 ... 1 challenge.

Cathy has always liked the 3-2-1 challenges and it really doesn't matter what you choose for your parts as long as you use 3 of one thing, 2 of another thing, and 1 of another. Clear as mud huh?!?

For the sample above, Cathy used 3 different cardstock, 2 buttons, and 1 ribbon.You could use 3 buttons or brads, 2 flowers and 1 ribbon. See, it really doesn't matter as long as you use 3-2-1

Have fun and lets see what you come up with!!!

Riley in Oz - Sneak Peek Day 4!

Welcome to day four of sneek peek week! I hope you have been having fun and gathering all kinds of ideas!

This card features one of my favorite stamps in this series - Sophie as the Wicked Witch!

This card is soooooo easy to make! I used a Mega Nesties to cut the shape, and then used a slightly smaller Nesties from the same set (turned vertically) to cut a hole out of the front. I colored in our pretty wicked little moose with Copics (E33, E25, E 29, E 37, C5, C7, G14 over YG63, and E43) and attached her INSIDE the card behind the opening.

A simple little home made broom out of toothpicks and some real broom bristles (thanks Janet), a beautiful satin ribbon to match her hat and some rhinestones finished off this card!

The sentiment is from our new Oz Words 1 set that will be released tonight with the stamps! Make sure you come back tonight for the Blog Hop starting at 10 pm EST, 9 CST! There will be lots of Blog Candy randomly given away so make sure you leave comments! Once you are done with the Blog Hop you can go back to Riley's Web Page and get your new stamps! Yippeee!

Riley in Oz Sneek Peek - Day 3

I LOVE this card as a sympathy card. Isn't he sweet?

I actually stamped Riley on a piece of metal with black Stazon, heat set and cut him out. I colored with Copics (E33, E35, E49) and popped his head up with pop dots. Riley was placed on layered ovals and attached to a piece of ivory paper that was ran through the Devine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The corners were made with a corner punch.

I put a gold (yes - gold) heart brad through a pewter button and colored it red with my copics. The card was finished off by adding a brown satin ribbon.

The words on the inside are part of the Oz Words 1 set that will be release on Thursday. It's a set of 14 really cool phrases on UM rubber. There is also an Oz Words 2 and a new Moose Greeting set! Yippie!

I hope you are enjoying our sneek peek week! The big day is tomorrow - don't forget the Blog Hop starts at 9 pm CST! And there is Blog Candy folks - lots of it!!
