It's Your Rivetting Birthday

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 394 - Tags.
My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 404.
My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 394 - Navy Pacific Sand.
My panel 3 is sahara sand dry embossed with Seeing Spots embossing folder then I inked the raised spots with pacific point ink for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 396 - Make Your Own Polka Dots.
I embossed the night of navy used for panel 2 with Swiss Dots embossing folder. I stamped the image from Riveting once in night of navy and then in pacific point ink then on the night of navy image I did 2 step stamping with sahara sand after stamping off once. I used circle punches to punch the entire image in night of navy then just the center image from pacific point. I popped both circles up on dimensionials. The sentiment is from "It's Your Birthday" and is stamped in pacific point.
Hope you like it.

My layout is from today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 146 - Sketch inspired by resqbarbie.

My tag sentiments came from a Stampin' Up sets of All Year Cheer stamped in Momento Rhubarb Stalk and then distressed the edges with it as well.

This is matted on teal then wasabi and poppped up. Teal sheer ribbon on the right. I will add a charm and sentiment later, gotta get to work.

I've Been Tagged

OMGosh, this is my very 1st time of ever being tagged so I hope I follow the rules and do it correctly. I was tagged by Karen who has an awesome gallery on SCS. Thanks Karen. Onto the deets:
Facts About Me:
#1. I hate bridges-My 1st trip with my hubby was to St.George Island from Moultrie, GA. I handle the 1st bridge fair and kept my secret bc it was a short one. The 2nd one still OK with and no breach of secret yet but when we started over to the island on that seemingly 10mile long bridge he kept looking over at me after asking me a question and I did not answer and I was red faced, almost blue. I hold my breath just in case some idiot on the other side hits us and knocks us over the side making us fall in the water. Silly I know but a phobia of mine nevertheless. He thought I was upset with him when I started crying.
#2. I was born in Indiana and my mom brought me, brother and herself back to GA to live when I was 3yrs old where I have lived since. Tifton GA for 35 yrs and Moultrie for the past 9 yrs since I got married to the most perfect match for me.
#3. I was named after my mom's sister who sort of took over as a mother figure when their mom died. Her name was Geneva. She was more like a mom to me than an Aunt enough so that my 2 girls called her Granny and her husband Papa. She died 2 weeks before my 1st grandchild was born in 2001 and I still miss her terribly.
#4. I have ugly feet and usually do not wear sandles that reveal my first 4 toes all the same length and almost no little toe so please do not look at my feet when you meet me. I usually describe my feet as I do myself - short, fat & ugly.LOL.
#5. I always wanted to be either a teacher or a nurse. I had been out of high school 16 yrs before I got enough never to go back and graduated in 1997 from ABAC college, took my nursing exam and have been a licensed RN since. I love nursing.
#6. I had always thought how cool it would have been to have lived back in Scarlet, Ashley & Rent Butler's day of Gone With The Wind one of fav movies and I married a wonderful man in 1999 who is a Civil War Re-Enactor so guess what? I get to see a small fraction of what it would have been like. 9 layers of clothing is not the fun part. Camping in a tent with no heat or fans is not always fun but I do enjoy being in camp and watching the battles. I am continuously learning new history around those guys too.
#7. I am addicted to stamping. My gallery probably reflects that. I must stamp daily or I get the shakes. LOL. I was introducted to stamping by some co-workers. I had a SU class one day and invited my 2 girls and my oldest one was hooked too. She is now a SU Demo. I love SU stamps.

OK enough about me, now I want to know more about you so I am tagging you Shannon, Lauren, Linsey, Faith, Amanda, Kelly, & Shelly who are so kind and faithful to comment in my SCS gallery and my blog.

The rules to go by:
• Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.

• Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
• Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Hope to read your replies soon. Have a great day. Gotta go to work and the challenge is not up yet. EEEKKK
