Hi, I'm Torrey. Welcome to Left Field, where creativity runs amok and imagination is ALWAYS more important than knowledge. Shoes are not allowed but ties are optional. This is a repository of snippets from my life out here in Left Field. One never knows what shiny bits of creativity will be found here... cards, scrapbook layouts, photography, poetry, recipes, ponderings, rantings and musings. It could be anything! Life in Left Field is always changing, always real, always ...interesting.

And, of course, as always on the HMFMC, “ANYTHING GOES” is always an entry option.

There are prizes!! Three entries, chosen at random, will win 1-HMD Stampendous Cling Rubber Stamp, 1–Large Dreamweaver Stencils Background Stencil, and 1–Jar of Embossing Paste.  This contest is open to everyone!! 

We are also very happy and proud to be welcoming back our 2nd AWESOME sponsor
the Official Mousey Family, House-Mouse Designs(R)
HMD is also Offering another Lucky player a $20 Gift Certificate to shop at House-Mouse Designs(R)!

And now for my mid-way inspiration for you!

I used the same stencil as I did for my last project, but this time...instead of using embossing paste with it, I applied Versamark ink directly through the stencil to the paper below...then embossed it in my Big Shot so it's slightly raised. The Versamark ink created a tone-on-tone effect which makes the splats actually look wet! 

I used the super-cute HappyHopper Puddle Fun stamp.

Once again, I am the caboose of this section of the hop, so you should have already visited all the other DT member's blogs. But if not, here is a list of all our Mousey DT, so you can hop on over to see their fabulous makes!! Just click on their names to be whisked away to their blog!

HOW TO ENTER:
  1. Comment on DT's posts and Create something fun and a little bit wonderful. It’s not a talent show, winners are randomly selected. Use an HMD image PLUS a stencil on your work (or choose “anything goes”). It doesn’t have to be a card, it can be any kind of project. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
  2. Post your creation online. You can post it anywhere that will give it a unique URL (internet address). Most folks have a blog, but you can post on Flickr, or PhotoBucket, sites like Split Coast Stampers, or even on your Google+ account. (ps…creating a blog is free! What are you waiting for?)
  3. Get the URL for the specific post that contains your project – click on the title of your post, copy the URL from your browser’s title bar, click on the inLinkz picture on the HMFMC post, paste your URL into the tool. Add your name and email address and voila, you’re entered!

  2. Torrey, love how you used the stencil, very creative. The pop of red on the ribbon and umbrella against the gray is also really eye catching. Beautiful colorwork on the sweet image too.

    Hugs
