Sweet Dreamers' Challenge # 1- About Me!

The Sweet Dreamers’ challenge for this week was “About Me”. We were to create a card or other project that used our favorite colors but also told a little about what we like to do- other than stamping.

This is my card for the challenge. As far as a favorite color- well, I don’t really have ONE favorite color- I like LOTS of different colors…I love hot pinks, bright greens, purples- just about any color as long as it’s bright! As far as my likes- well, I ride my own motorcycle and I LOVE it! There’s nothing better than cruising the back roads on a beautiful, sunny, warm day! Here, I used Hanna Stamps’ Route 66 stamp set. When this set first came out, I just HAD to have it, and since then I’ve amassed quite a large motorcycle stamp collection! Hanna and her bike are colored with my favorite coloring medium- Copic Markers! My bike is black meta-flake, (I just LOVE anything sparkly- BUT I’m glitterphobic, so I don’t use glitter much!) so instead, I used this black sparkly linen from S.E.I., as well as the glitter chipboard flower from Making Memories. I colored the motorcycle pink because one of these days (maybe next summer!) I’ll get a new bike and it’ll be something BRIGHT! Don’t know if it’ll be pink, but I know it won’t be black- although I DO wear a pink helmet- pink with silver swirls and skulls! The Route 66 image is from Artistic Outpost’s Route 66 stamp set. I used the route sign because I love to travel. I have a t-shirt that says “Silly boys, motorcycles are for girls” and I love it, so I decided to use that as the sentiment on my card. The gas pump is also from Hanna Stamps’ Route 66 set. I included this image- not because I like pumping gas- but because I DON’T pump gas…never have…I have NO idea how to even go about it! I have a wonderful husband that keeps my car and bike gassed up for me! Yes, I guess I’m spoiled!
So, that’s me in a nutshell. I had fun with this challenge and look forward to doing more! Hope you enjoyed it, too!
