Paper Sundaes Challenge #22 - Sketch Challenge All that Scraps

Happy Sundae!  This week's Challenge over at Paper Sundaes is a sketch challenge created by our very talented Christine and is being sponsored by All That Scraps.  Here is my take on the sketch:

I chose to use the image of CC Designs Sugarplum Tulip Trevor for my image & the sentiment is two different stamps from the Amy R set "Big Words & Handy Additions" both which are available at All That Scraps!  I coloured the image with copics (E00, E11, E41, E43, E33, E35, E39, R22, R24, R29, E44, B41, B23, and B21) and then airbrushed the background of my oval with my airbrush system.  The flowers I got from a secret sister swap from Danielle and the ribbon & pearl brad are from my stash.  I managed to use up some scrap paper I had in my scrap pile but I'm pretty sure this is from Bo Bunny!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday today!  We finally got some nice sunny weather this weekend maybe that means SUMMER is finally here!  Have a great week everyone and be sure to pop over to Paper Sundaes and play along in this week's challenge :)

Serenity - With a little help from a Special Someone!

I was colouring some of my images from The Stamping Boutique tonight and my son Tyler asked if he could help me make a card.  Of course I said YES!  He loves to colour with me but when it comes to cardmaking he'd much rather skip it and go watch cartoons, read a book or play a game!  So here is what he helped with!

I coloured the image "Serenity" with Copics & Spica glitter pens and used the current sketch from Card Positioning Systems.  My son wanted to add all the stars so it has lots of bling which fits into the current challenge at Meljen's Designs which is #11 Sparkle, Glitter & Bling.  I had fun creating with him and even if it isn't exactly how I would do it, it was a labour of LOVE and that's what makes it extra special :)

The Stamping Boutique - Cynthia Gathering Mushrooms

I'm excited to post another card I made for The Stamping Boutique!  Today TSB is sponsoring a challenge over at 2 Sketches 4 you and this is my creation.

For my card I'm using a new digi image "Cynthia Gathering Mushrooms" which you can pick up over at the TSB store.  I coloured the image with copics and added a fair bit of sparkle with my spica glitter pens however it isn't showing up too well in the photo.  Other supplies used:  oval & oval scallop nesties, felt flowers by Hero Arts, Bazill cardstock, and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I love this fabulous DP which is from my scraps so I'm not sure of the manufacturer.  It's so pretty with all the glittery flowers!  Ooooh I almost forgot!  If you join us at The Stamping Boutique Group here over at Paper Craft Planet you can get this image for free!   All the details are on the group page so be sure to check it out!  REMEMBER:  The Stamping Boutique is now offering a monthly challenge so be sure to check out the website and show us your creations using TSB images for your chance to win free digi images of your choice!  The link is here!

Paper Sundaes Challenge #21 - Summer Fun with Sassy Cheryl's

It's time for another Paper Sundaes Challenge - #21 and we would like you to create a card with the theme of SUMMER FUN!  What could be more fun than a PARTY to celebrate summer?

This week Paper Sundaes is being sponsored by Sassy Cheryl's!  As soon as I saw this image "Sassy Cinco de Mayo Cheryl" I knew I had to have her!  This image is SO MUCH FUN!  I love that it's a digi image so I can size it to whatever fits my needs but I think she would be great for scrapbook pages, party invitations, you name it!  I coloured her with copics (E00, E11, E13, E15, E17, E53, E55, Y15, Y17, YR14, R22, R24, R29, G14 and G16).  I used my Lemon spica glitter pen to colour part of the star necklace & trim on her dress and added glossy accents to her maracas.  Other supplies used:  Cuttlebug swiss dots folder, SU corner punches, & Crimped Alpha Stickers from Momenta.  Hope you play along with us this week at Paper Sundaes as we would love to see your "Summer Fun" creations!

My First TSB Blog Post - Happy Father's Day

I'm super excited to be posting my first ever card as a member of The Stamping Boutique Design Team!

The digi images are super adorable and as soon as I saw this one "AJ with Sign" I knew I had to have it as it reminds me of my son!  I made this card for my son to give to his Dad on Father's Day.

All design paper I used was from Basic Grey's Wisteria Line and the cardstock is Bazill.  I distressed the edges with Palette "Burnt Umber" and used my EK punch for the wavy border.  I added some ribbon and buttons from my stash and the sentiments are Making Memories Rub-ons.  The image was coloured with copics (B21, B23, B37, R02, E00, E11, E41, E43, E53, E55, E57 and E59).   I also used my Lemon Spica Glitter Pen for all the little stars & dots around the image.  I will be entering this into The Card Patterns Challenge Blog Sketch 66 as I used their sketch for the layout.  Also will be entering in the One Stitch at a Time Challenge Blog - where the challenge is to create using something new.  Since this is a new digi image for my first TSB post I'm sure it will count!   Hope you like it :)

Logan's First Birthday

Here's a quick card I made tonight for my nephew Logan's first birthday on Thursday.  Being as he's only turning one I kept it simple.

The image I used is from Karen's Doodles and is called Herbert Birthday Cake.  I paired him with the #1 from the Herbert Birthday Candle Set.  This set is amazing as you can change the numbers so you can use it again & again.  This is a great digi image set for sure!  I coloured with copics and the sentiment is one that I picked up from Michaels along time ago.  Other supplies used:  EK border punch, Lemon Spica Glitter Pen.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY LOGAN!
