Hey there!
It's the second Wednesday of the new month and that means it's time for the August 'anything goes' challenge over on the 7 Kids challenge blog.
Playing along is easy, all you have to do is use at least one product
that can be found in the 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store and link back to the challenge
blog in your own post, which gives you a chance at winning a $20 gift
certificate at the end of the month... who doesn't love that?
The 7 Kids DT is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps this month so for
my challenge inspiration card I inked up the Pretty Posies from Cas-ual Fridays in Memento angel pink so that I could do some soft and pretty no-line coloring. I stamped a variety of blossoms and leaves around the bottom and side of the card front, masking as I went so they would overlap in a natural way. That left me with a lot of open space that I knew I wanted to fill with some kind of happy character that would fit with the sentiment I was using. As I searched through my stash of stamps, none were fitting in the way I imagined. Bummed but undeterred I decided to get brave and use my Copics to sketch in the fairy I knew was living in this magical garden. It was nerve wracking after having put in all that time coloring already, I really didn't want to mess it all up! Luckily she came to life fairly quickly and I was able to breath a sigh of relief. I don't stamp and color flowers very often but these Pretty Posies set such a lovely scene that I can see myself playing with more on future cards. :)
Alrighty, I hope to see some of my crafty friends joining the fun with me this month over at 7 Kids! :)

Hi there!
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. As I mentioned last week, during the month of August the 7 Kids DT is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. So today I have inked up this sweet ballerina and sentiment from the Cas-ual Fridays Tutu set. The stamp is actually more of a silhouette but by using desert sand ink she was light enough to color in details with my Copic markers. She brought to mind the character Margo from the Despicable Me movie, when the sisters are all dressed up for their ballet recital, so I ran with that idea. Now here she is, as we peek from back stage, watching her shine bright in the spotlight. :)
Alrighty, well the July challenge just wrapped up but be sure to check out the 7 Kids blog

Good morning!
So when I saw that this month's Farm Fresh Challenge is to 'make a scene' I was all over it! A couple month's ago I stumbled across this Tasty Truck Stampin' Up set on ebay and right away I knew I wanted to pair it up with some cute mega minis from TGF. The food truck comes with various treats to sell along with coordinating sentiments and I fell in love with the taco sentiment right away. Needless to say, these kiddos from the Best Day Ever set decided that it was a good day for tacos, LOL! Since I had some extra time to color I went ahead and colored in the entire background as well. I could just picture this food truck pulling up next to a park so I used my Copics to sketch in a nice, big shade tree and a picnic table to lunch at with a beautiful blue sky to complete the perfect day. :)
Alrighty friends, I'll catch ya again tomorrow!

It's another Bellarific Friday card for me today. This time around I inked up Tiny Townie Frances Loves to Float and wiped away the watermelon slice from her hand before stamping and replaced it with the sunglasses from the set. As fun and fancy as Frances is looking I knew floating in a pool wouldn't be good enough for her so instead I grabbed the Paradise Palms stamp set from Newton's Nook and set the scene for her to be relaxing in the warm ocean waters off some tropical island. Hopefully the current is carrying her back towards land rather farther out to sea, LOL! Alrighty, like I said, this card is my entry into this week's Free Form Bellarific challenge and now it's time for me to get ready for work.
Have a great weekend everybody! :)

Olo!
My lovely cousin, Kaiti, is getting married this weekend and this is the card that I made for the happy couple. I stamped up another one of the sweet wedding images from Impronte d'Autore called Sposini because the enthusiasm of this little bride totally reminded me of Kaiti's happy energy. Now the original image has the bride and groom standing on the back of a train car but I just wiped away the train tracks and wheels and drew in the legs and turned it into a kind of wedding arch. Because lavender, the flowers not just the color, is a big part of her theme I used my Copics to turn the simple flowers into a row of decorative lavender across the rail. I can't wait to wish the happy couple all the best on Saturday. :)
Toodles!

Hello there!
Just a quick little summer time card to share this morning before I run out the door. This adorable Ian wearing his 'Gilligan' hat is from the Sunny kit that was released this past spring. I had pulled a piece of striped paper from the new BoBunny weekend adventures paper pad and colored both Ian and one of his Anya companions from the same set to match. But when it came time to make the card I eventually settled on different papers from that paper pad and there was no room for Anya anymore. That's okay though, I'm sure she will make it onto her own card sometime next week. The sentiment is another one from that great Easily A'moose'd set that I've been pulling out quite regularly this summer, and I love how it pulls the whole design together. :)
Laters!
Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink
paper- BoBunny (weekend adventures)

Hi there!
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. During the month of August the 7 Kids design team is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. So I'm kicking things off with this card using the wonderful Heartbeats stamp set and coordinating dies from Cas-ual Fridays as well as this cutie from the new Our Song set from The Greeting Farm. I'm telling you that these stamps were made to go together! This sentiment totally makes me smile so it had to be the first one that I got on a card. I cut the music notes out of a sheet of ombre paper to get the pretty transition of color across the card, which I think lends to the dreamy, lovey dovey vibe. :)
Alrighty, there is still one more week to play along in the July 'anything goes' challenge so head on over to the 7 Kids blog and play along! With so much great new product hitting the shelves, that $20 gift certificate prize could really help to fill a shopping cart!
