DT Announcement - Heart Song Designs

Good morning friends.  I have a huge announcement to make.  I was selected to be a part of the amazing team at Heart Song Designs. YAY!!!  I'm super excited to be working with all the talented ladies on this team. 

With that being said I'm showing you my very first card as a member of the team.  Today's challenge on the Heart Song Inspiration Blog is  "anything goes".  The image I used is called bird song.  This little birdie is singing a sweet song today.  The image was great to use with my little birdie paper.  For the life of me I can't remember who makes this paper.  I'm having a severe brain dump.  Anyway, I colored my image with Copic markers (E49, E25, BG72, YG23, YG93, YG95 and R24).  

Now it's your turn.  Please link your creation on the HSIB by Sunday 6pm (MST) for your chance to win.  So let's get to stamping.

Hugs and happy stamping~

Sweet Ladybugs

Happy FRIDAY!!  The weekend is finally here.  Are you as excited as I am?  Usually the weekend is for movies and friends so this week I participated in the Tiddly Ink's Nature Movie challenge.  I had to stretch this card a little bit to actually fit the challenge.  You see there is a movie called The Ladybugs with Rodney Dangerfield in it.  The movie has nothing to do with nature but to me a ladybug is part of nature right?  LOL, I know don't laugh at me.  I really wanted to be in this challenge.  LMBO.  So I inked up this adorable little labybug from Tiddly Inks.  So with her all inked up I headed over to Sweet Sunday challenge blog and made a card layout to match their sketch this week. 

So with my card all done, I'm heading out of here to spend some time with family and friends.  I think I see a movie in my near future.

For the Boys

Hey peeps.  How's everyone doing today.  I'm combining three challenges today.  La-La Land Crafts is featuring the "boys and brads" as it's challenge this week.  Great because I just love Luka.  He's so stinkin' cute.  Tuesday Throwdown  has us adding some metallic to our card.  Don't think you can see it in the photo but the tires on Luka's truck and the brads were colored over with metallic ink.  And finally the Copic Challenge was to use pastel colors.  I can not remember when I made my last pastel colored card so it was great to go back in that direction for a change. 

I think I hit all the requirements on this card.  What do you think?  For my Copic colors I used E53, E51, E50, E57, E25, E47, Y23, Y21, B93, YG11, G24.

Thanks for swinging through today.  Hope you'll be back real soon.

YNSC #47 (3-2-1 Recipe)

Good morning my friends.  I hope you have enjoyed your hopping around during the YNS release.  Weren't the cards amazing?  And you guys really knocked my socks off with all of your gorgeous creations.  I loved them all!!

For this week, the ever-loving Diana is challenging us.  She's looking for a 3-2-1 recipe.  She you have to use 3 embellishments (type or quantity) / 2 patterned papers / 1 image.  Pretty easy right.  I have to say I cheated just a bit. I already had this card made without Kali and the flowers.  So mine was super quick and easy to do. 

I know you want to join in on the fun, right?!?  Okay, let me tempt you with a little candy.  How about if you had the chance to win Get Well Soon Fhiona?  It would make her feel so much better if you joined in for a chance to win her?  What do you say to that?  Remember the challenge runs for 2 whole weeks so you have plenty of time to hop on over to the YNS Store and pick up some of these fun images yourself! If you do use a YNS stamp on your challenge card/creation, you’ll be entered into the prize draw TWICE and be entered into the Top Pick draw – that’s 3 chances to win! You surely can't beat that. You have until Tuesday, August 2nd  at midnight EST to enter!

Come on what are you waiting for?  Get your creative juices.  Oh before I forget here are the Copic markers I used for Kali.  I also used SU Baja Breeze and So Saffron markers.

Have a great day.

Hugs~

Black and White Plus Copic Technique

Welcome back.  I've had a chance to hop around some blogs and came across the black+white with a contrasting color challenge over at Mo's Digital Pencil.  Since I just love black and white cards with a pop of color I got to coloring up an image.  This hot Mama is ready to through up some kisses.  I think she is too darn funny!!  I just had to use this ticket with her.  I can't remember where I got the tickets from that you will see on my blog but they are part of a free download.  I'm also participating in the CMC challenge to use your favorite Copic technique.  I did a ton on "flicking" on my card.  So sorry you guys but I'm addicted to my Copics. I used E11,E00, E25, E27, E57, R29, R27, R24, C5, C3 and 100 as my colors for today.

Well, I'm off to do a little more creating.  Make sure you stop back by tomorrow for YNS challenge.

Christmas Sundaes Feature

Okay, I know...a pretty weird intro to my card.  LOL  I was trying to add all the names of the challenges I'm doing today into a title.  Don't think that came out too good.  Oh, well.  I had the chance to take a look at Terri's gallery (the Featured Stamper at SCS today) and man did I fall in love.  Such an awesome gallery full of fun things.  Congrats Terri for the honor today. 

I'm also playing along on the Paper Sundae challenge.  It's called Christmas in July.  No better time then now to get my Christmas cards done.  Before you know it, the holidays will be here.

Well thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful Sunday and be blessed.

Kenny K Anniversary with a Sketch Saturday Flair

Hey Kenny K is one year old!!  It has been a blast following their blog and participating in the challenges. I am a huge fan of Kenny K images so I wanted to dedicate my card to all the groovy people that put their heart and soul into these wonderful  images.

My groovy dude is pumping up the jams this week at the Sketch Saturday challenge.  Oh yes, he ROCKS!!  He so reminds me of this reggae guy I met several years ago at a block party.  The music was great and we were jamming to his guitar.

Speaking of jamming to some beats. I need to load up my IPod with some music to travel with.  Can't go on a road trip with the tunes.  Check you guys out later.

Sketching Out a Color Throwdown

Hi everybody.  Oh what a day.  So glad it's over.  We are now having a wonderful thunderstorm.  I know that sounds strange but we so need the rain.  And plus it's a good time to do a challenge when I'm not occupied with having to do something outside.

Today's little beauty is Marci from La-la Land Crafts.  She's all dressed up for a day in the sun.  I have to say that I have fallen in love with these adorable kids from LLLC.  I colored her up with a mix of Copic markers and she's heading over to the Color Throwdown and Tuesday Throwdown challenges.  She's also making an appearance on the La-la Land Crafts Inspiration Monday Sketch.  She's a very busy young lady.


Here are the Copics that I used to color Marci and her cute little outfit.





Well, I'm going to go snuggle up in bed with some Copics and images and ride out the storm.  Have a fabulous evening everyone.

YNS Challenge #46 - Button Up!

Hey my favorite peeps.  It's challenge day at Your Next Stamp and it's my turn to challenge you.  I want you to create something fabulous with buttons.  Add them in a row, in the corners or even stack them like I did.  I have a huge jar full of buttons so I'm glad I had the chance to get them out.

The image I used for my card is the ever so cute Song Bird.  He's singing a tune on the ever so fabulous Lime Twist Fly A Kite paper.  I am sooo in love with this paper pack. And I have to say hands down Copic X-press It Blending Paper is one of my favorite paper to use when I'm using my Copic markers.

Here are the Copics.  The ones that you can't see the number are B02, BG01, YR07 and E79.

Now remember, you have until MIDNIGHT (EST) July 19th to get your submission in on the YNS Challenge Blog. Let me see you show off your awesome buttons.

Hugs and happy stamping!!

Copic Challenge #53 - White Coloring

Hey everyone.  Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. I am enjoying some quality time with my pillow, my bed and my TV.  Yep, haven't done a thing all day and I love it.  Once I did get to moving around I hit the stamp room for the "White Coloring" Copic Challenge.  You guessed it, white is a color.  I usually don't leave clothing on my images white but it sure does add a crispness to it.  This little fella is Luka from La-La Land Crafts stamps.  I am in LOVE with their adorable images. And they just happen to be the sponsor for this challenge.  Woo hoo!  If you don't have any of the images from La-La Land Crafts you are missing out.   

Well, I'm off to go enjoy some more time with my pillow, bed and TV.  I might just let my husband handle the remote now.

Hugs and happy stamping!!
