| Sally Proctor came up with the idea for August's challenge. She furnished us with boxes of sheets of reinforcements. They began as white one, but Carol Schroeder colored her with a rainbow pad and brayer. I've used her result as the starting point. Just think of them as white. | | Carol Schroeder created this by rolling her brayer after she colored her reinforcements. She really made good use of all the leftover elements. | | Carol Heath made this really clever card. Unfortunately, she can't remember how she made it. It looks like she stamped on the leftover reinforcement sheet after the reinforcements were removed. It's a great card, if you like holy pears. |

Carol Heath's second card was making good use of leftovers, also. She used the leftover reinforcement sheet as a stencil for her background, brayerred off some of the color used on the reinforcements them selves. And stamped this cute, cute bird on the front. On the inside she stamped, If you can't have fun being old, why be old at all?" Good question! Now why did she give this card to Sally Proctor, I wonder.... | | Brenda Preuss had very little time between recovering her computer system and the stamp club, but she quickly made a collection of records using the reinforcements. You can also find tiny little writing on the record labels. | | Sally Proctor used her reinforcements to create this almost lifelike honeycomb for charming (yes, charming) "friends are the honey of life" card. Loved it! |

If you were wondering what Carol Schroeder did with the reinforcements she brayered, here's her colorful and funky caterpillar. She carried through the circles with a Cuttlebug background of circles, randomly colored. | | Carol Schroeder also made this bookmark. She used the rteinforcements as flower petals and added liquid applique as the flower centers. Beuaitful! | | The mention of flowers made me realize I had overlooked Carol Heath's third card. Busy lady this month! Carol used a fine glitter line around the "petals" of this flower. And the dew drops were used as the centers. I love these simple little flowers! |

Lorraine Revalee used the reinforcements for the eyes of this clever little owl. She wanted to use "You're a Hoot!" on the front, but didn't have it with her at the time of the stamping. The owl had some good Twinkling H2O colors for feathers. Loved the background and the use fo the skewer for his perch. | | Lorraine Revalee's second card used painted reinforcements as the center part of her record-themed card. Good job! | | |

| I forgot to let you on-liners know what the challenge is for the month of September. Even though it may be a little late, please feel free to send me your entry at BPStamps@citlink.net. The challenge was to use a silhouette on a card. I suggested finding a picture of a person in a magazine, preferably a profile, to transfer to black cardstock. Use that silhouette on a card. Send them on in. | | Joan Azevedo made this cute fairy silhouette and layered it on a leftover background. | | Carol Heath made this adorable witch silhouette which was a perfect idea for the silhouettes. The spooky background made it very realistic. |

| Cindy Mayer used her computer to locate silhouettes and printed them on a bakcground piece. Clever! | | Brenda Preuss used the image of a lady looking at a picture. She cut out the actual picture and adhered it to the silhouette. | | Lorraine Revalee used her solid stamps and stamped the silhouette of trees and birds. |

October's challenge was sent to me from the stat eof Washington from Sandy Johnson. Her idea was to use a small set of 2009 calendars on a star book, accordion card, whatever you can dream up. The monthly calendars she sent measure 1" x 2 1/4", but if you cannot come by to pick up a set from me, use the computer to generate a small set. Have fun! | | | | |
