Well here is the last blog for this month’s challenges.

This is for the Teen Line Anything but a card. The bag is an old Christmas bag that I recycled. The papers are from Summer Fresh from Simple Stories. The happy birthday is a card tag that I bought from Joann’s eons ago. The image was colored with copics but a while back when I didn’t write things down. Sorry.

The next card is for the favorite techniques challenge. Layering is a technique I use on almost all my cards. Also coloring with Copics LOL

The papers I used are from My Mind’s Eye Handsome Boy. Copics:E50,00,21,R20, R30; YR24, E31, E33; YR12,14,18; YR00,02,Y18; BG45,49; B0000,C00, N10, R14; E34,37

Sketch is from Deconstructing Jen

This card is for the Emo challenge. It could also be used in the smart A$$ challenge as well.

Outside: Happy Birthday Old Friend.. Inside: No, really…You’re old. It is just kraft cardstock cut down to 2.75 X 5.5 and scrap paper added inked with Distressed Walnut Ink and the sentiment is computer generated. Copics: E30,31,33,35,37,39; E50,51,53,55,57; E40,41,42,43,44

The last card is for CORINNE. Yes, here is your Smart A$$ card. There are you happy now whip cracker. LOL. Corinne is one of the administrators at Simply B Stamps. She does a fabulous job keeping all 500+ members straightened out. We all give her a hard time though. Don’t worry she gives more than she gets. 🙂 I just love the gals in this group.

Outside reads: Working with you is a dream

Inside reads: You know the one with brain eating zombies walking all over the place.

Papers are from Bo Bunny Family Is

Copics: E50,00,21, R30, E35,YR21,Y32; W00,0,1,2,4; C3,5 G94,99

Well, Sorry for the picture laden post but I wanted to get all these in. Wishing you an awesome rest of your weekend.

Hey there all my little blogger friends. Is everyone ready for the 4th of July? I am! My son is coming home for a week! Can I get a whoop whoop! We plan on doing some camping and fishing and in general staying high in the mountains away from the heat. He is currently living in Yuma, Arizona where the temps are in the 110-120 (43-48 for my European friends) degrees daily so our mild 100 degrees should be a welcome change LOL.

Anyway, back to crafty stuff. Today’s card is Summer by Simply B Stamps. Every month Miss Betty gives us a free digi to use for a monthly challenge. I LOVE this image! The challenge was to make your own background, not stamped. I used my alcohol inks to make the background and my Spellbinders Flourish 2 and EK Success Patterned Circles punch.

Copics: E50, E00, E21, R30; BG03, BG45; Y11,21,26

Ink: Alcohol inks: sunshine, citrus and pool; Jet Black Staz-on;

Shimmer spritz sparkle

Thank you for looking.

Jazz says hi…he’s has been struggling with allergies this year. Poor puppy. The medicine seems to be helping.

Happy Friday!

Today’s card is the dreaded masculine card. LOL I bought this image from Fred She Said you can find it here. (They have many beautiful flower digis as well.) Plus they offer 10% off $10.00 and 20% off $20.00 everyday. Can’t beat that.

I bought this stamp so that I could take Suzanne Dean’s copic coloring class. I wanted to learn how to color rust. I think that the rust looks rather nice. Suzanne is a great teacher!! Here is a link to links of all the classes that she teaches. I believe she teaches prisma coloring as well. I took the copic 5 class. It has 18 different videos. Each video teaches a different techniques. I learned a lot!! It was well worth the money.

Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend and I will talk to you soon.

Hello all my little bloggy friends. How are you all doing? I am so sorry that it has been so long since we last chatted. I struggled with a bad bout of bronchitis and then I went on vacation. I will post some pictures from the trip for those that are interested.

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I thought I would share a couple of Mo Manning images. She is a fabulous artist and I love her designs. These two cards, while very different images, the feel is similar so I thought I would combine them into one post.

First up: Tom and Tilly. Isn’t this the sweetest stamp. I hope that this is Lonnie and I in the future. I used Spellbinders Grand Labels Four dies to make the card and Spellbinders Floral Ovals to make the frame. The Pearls are from Recollections and the lace is from my stash, I think I bought it at Hobby Lobby. The Flourish is from Cherry Lynn Design called Tropical Flourish.

Copics Used: E40,41,44; C00,1,3; BG70,72,77; B91,93,95; G21,24; R81,83,85; E000,00; W1,3

The next image is Tiny Dancer Odette.

I used the same Floral Oval die and flourish die as well as the lacy circle die. The papers are from My Mind’s Eye Love Me collection. Pearls are from Recollections. I used Sheer Shimmer Frost mist on the flourish for a subtle sheen. I used my Spica Pen for the dots and over the sentiment for sparkle. Sentiment is from Studio G. Ink is Memento Angel Pink. Ribbon is American Crafts Blue Gingham.

Copics Used: E000,00,21 and R20; E31,33,34,35; B00,01,04,05; E40; R0000,000

Hope you have a fantastic weekend! Talk to you soon.

Good Morning Gang! Just a quick post before I head off to work- BOO! First days back are always tough.

This is Some Odd Girl– Lazy Kaylee. Isn’t she cute! I used my CherryLynn Design Die-English tea doily . Love that die. I also learned that if you put waxed paper (like you would use in your kitchen) onto the die then put the paper to be cut and then run it through your machine. You don’t get those small little pieces that won’t come out of your die. They just pop right out. Pretty neat huh? I used Recollections small pearls to highlight the image.

Papers are Lost and found2- Blush by My Mind’s Eye; Simple Stories Fabulous;

Ribbon: Sheerly Yours Offray; Stamp is Recollections Fun Borders.

Copics: Face E000,00,21,R20; Eyes: BG93, C5; Hair: W1,3,5,7,9; Dress: R,00,R81,83,85; Shadow W00, W0

Thanks for visiting.

Hello. I’m back! My visit to Arizona was AWESOME! The weather was fantastic. Highs in the 80’s and sun, sun, sun. It was especially nice since while I was away it snowed 8 inches or so. 🙂 But it is good to be home. Always nice to sleep in your own bed. Plus, I missed everyone here. Jazzy was very happy to have the Mama home.

Today’s image is a fun one from The Paper Shelter. It is called Watching you Cockatoo. I thought he was pretty fun.

Inside: I used my Silhouette Cameo software to set up the shoe prints and then printed them onto my paper. I am loving the Cameo!

Copics: E50, 51 and YR30,31 For the bird. Y32,38 and YR12 for the beak. YG91,93,95,97,99 for the coat and hat; B91 and C3 and C5 for the magnifying glass. Background is E000,E00, YG91.

The sentiment is just typed on the computer.

Unfortunately, I need alot of these types of cards. You would think that since I make so many cards I would send them out.

Thanks for visiting. Jazz and I are off for his promised squirrel chasing walk. LOL

Hello Again…I have been off making sausage. Yep, sausage. We made Italian, spicy Italian, Jalapeno cheddar brats, breakfast sausage, summer sausage…200 lbs of sausage all together. Whew. It is a annual family tradition. But now I am back in crafty land and I have three cards for you today to make up for my absence.

They are the newest from Simply B Stamps.
