Happy Tuesday! Hope your week is off to a good start! DH is getting a new computer that arrives today (prompted by his 10 year work anniversary Apple gift card bonus!), so I get his old one (yay!), and I decided to put it in my stamp room. Well, that started a MAJOR renovation/purge/overhaul in my stamp room last night, which it needed badly but I had planned on waiting until school was out. Aye yi yi, what a mess!
In the meantime, here's one of my Splitcoast Viva Las Vegas VSN cards...for the Bingo challenge. You had to use some sort of "grid" technique to make it look like Bingo squares and a "sponging" technique. I am not a fan of the sponging, so that was hard for me! A few other first drafts got thrown away! lol! There is a tiny bit of sponging around the oval...I used a sponge dauber to rub some Chocolate Chip ink on!
I used all scraps from my desk for this one and most all of my VSN cards actually. The oval was a rejected piece from weeks ago, and the brown flower paper is American Crafts. I do love white core paper like that so when you sand it, the white shows through. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

love this, Angie. great colors and that orange ribbon is too cute-the perfect touch.
I am not a big fan of sponging either. Yours is subtle. I like how your whole card came together. Great work.
I hope the stamp room 'redo' works out well for you (I find all sorts of stuff when I clean up!)
Angie, what a fab card...and scraps?! That's a BONUS!!!
Angie, this is so cute! I need to fix my studio too, but at least you got a computer out of it! I'm planning on getting a MAC next month for my hubby too!
What a CUTE and CREATIVE card! Love the colors, too!
Very cool card--love the different colors!
Really, don't like sponging? I could sponge all day, it's very therapeutic for me... I can see how it doesn't work with your clean style, though. The grid looks great! Nice use of scraps :D

Oh..these colors so rock together!!!!Awesome card! :)
Angie, I keep the computr in my stamping room too. My DH used his laptop downstairs. He decided we needed a new fancy computer desk and hutch. I said"wait til schools out because I need to clean and rearrange the stamp room before the desk comes. But Nooooo, he has to go ahead and order it and have it delivered and of course he has to have the delivery men carry it upstairs for him. I was a little upset with him. I told him he would have to do it all, not me! (does that sound bitchy?) Of course now I LOVE the new desk! I still have to clean the stamp room when school is out is 11 days!
Very cute, Angie! I love the grid and colors.
This turned out so great! I love your color combination and the layout. Love your idea of scoring a grid and then sanding it - definitely will have to try that one!
I LOVE this Angie, fabulous colors! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
So very pretty! I love the polka dots and the orange and brown together.
Gorgeous!Love this grid layout! And the sponging is super cute!!

What a unique card - love the grid you created into a darling card! Just getting around to visiting everyone again after burying my head in a major project the last few weeks. It'll take me a while to wade through all 357 posts though - yikes!
