Craft Roulette with Therese!

Hello, my friends!  Hope you don't mind my interrupting your Olympic games!

There is a live crafty game show called Crafty Roulette on every Friday night at 7:30 EST and last night my friend Therese of Lost in Paper was a contestant!!  You can watch it all here!  You can even play along, and chat with all Mary's 'chatter boxes!'  

The parameters are set by using a crafty roulette wheel, manned by Mary Gunn - the show's host with the most!  Mary is so fun and seems to calm the nerves of her contestants.  I was nervous just watching that wheel spin!

After a few vetoes, here were the parameters the craft wheel spun for Therese and Mary to use on their cards:  

PROJECT – 4 1/4 square
COLORS – Pink + 1 and 3 pops of red
ELEMENT – Robot(s)
RANDOM – Ticket(s)

I'm not at all surprised that Therese came through it like the pro she is!  I attempted to play along live - but crafting after dark, and a little mishap with glossy accents [my red dots turned orange!]  I set a timer for myself and Take 2 was created...


and then came this idea during the night...

Poor kitty!  Her friend doesn't seem to be terribly upset about it!!

  • I used Pink + Orange patterned paper from my stash, and a little orange tabby + 3 red paw prints on the front of my 4.25" card.
  • My robot came in the form of a roomba vacuum sweeper
  • Last but least my sentiment was created and made to look like a ticket!
It was a wonderful time, Mary and Therese!  I do hope you get the 120 entries you're hoping for!

How about you, my friends??  Ready to take on this fun challenge??

  1. What an inventive card with those parameter. Don't think I would have succeeded with that challenge as I can't think of a single thing in my stash that could be a robot! Love the little extra round the back. I shall try and watch the video too, so thanks for the link xx

  9. Watched the YT on replay but it made me nervous...but I saw you as a participant. Not sure I have the stones to play myself. You sure pulled it off though and with such a clever, fun, colorful card. Love the wrap around effect, although I do feel sorry for the other kitty.

  15. What a fun surprise when you look at the bac of the card! This is so adorable and clever, Michele! I love the rug with paw prints and the color matching background pattern! Roomba is one of the items on my household wish list!

  16. This is genius. The Roomba for your robot is just brilliant. I thought kitty was curling! I checked out the show a bit... made me laugh. I am hanging with a crafty buddy at the beach house this weekend - we'll have to watch. I just love this card and the wrap around is fantastic.

  18. Well done, Michele! I wish I could have stayed to see Therese work her magic live. Your card is the cat's meow (haha, couldn't help my) especially with the paw prints leading around the corner to another kitty!
