CA&F Monday Mania with Caz!

Caz challenged us this week to use Anya/Ian or two other TGF characters as a "couple".  I immediately turned to Guy Ian and Miss Anya, my Guy Ian set has been sadly underused.

I got the paper from the $1 aisle at Target (aka "My Other Home"). The paper caught my eye b/c on there are some CUTE sheets of cupcake patterened paper in it and I love all things cupcakes.  Now you don't see the cupcake paper b/c I'm having a hard time using it even though I bought three packs of the paper and that breaks down to like $0.13 a sheet.  I have issues, leave me alone ;0)

Did some slight altering - Took the plaid off Ian's shirt (don't look too close, it didn't all come off, lol) and changed Miss Anya's shorts to a skirt and took the argyle off her socks.



Used:
TGF Stamps- Guy Ian, Miss Anya
Copics
Paper - Target $1 aisle
Martha Stewart Scallop 3 Dot border punch
Nestabilities - Mega Curved Rectangles
Stickles
Prima
"Love" brad - Target $1 aisle.

Rachel this is truly wonderful, i love it. Such pretty papers and your altering is awesome (I did look very closely, and couldn't see any left over pattern, so you did a better job than you thought :) ) I love the prima, and that brad is gorgeous, works brilliantly, a great take on the challenge.

Hi Rachel! This is SO cute! Your altering is excellent - I agree with Suzi, I don't see any leftover traces! I can't help but giggle - With his eyes all closed like they are and Miss Anya with her shopping bags, I hear that big patient, but not so patient Man-sigh coming from Ian over all of this time shopping!!
I have those same paper issues - I am doing my own form of therapy trying to use that much loved stuff!! :-)Traci

Those papers are really fun, I can see why you love them so much and they look great with this super cute couple! And I had the exact same thought Traci did with Ian 'patiently' waiting on her to finish up shopping LOL! Wonderful card Rach and your altering looks fab!
