CMC Anything Goes- Super Girly

Hello Friends!! I hope everyone is having a good week so far and for those who went to CHA, I hope you have recovered:) We have a new challenge up at CMC Copic Challenge Group that runs until August 3rd and it is an easy one- Anything Goes with a Girly Twist. Our Sponsor this week is Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. 
I love this stamp called Gadget Girl, I wish I looked this good playing on my techie stuff:) The paper is Echo Parks For the Record.  I paper pieced the stool and used my Copics for the rest.  The swirls are chipboard from Recollections and the lace is Recollections as well.  I got the sentiment in the dollar bin sometime back.   I used Mother's Day Bouquet and my Cricut to make the layered flower.  The image is sponged with CTMH Twilight.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 168 Blast Off

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Last weekend we took a trip to the beach at Corpus Christie and had a great time.  It is always nice to get away even if just for a  little bit and watching the kids always makes my heart happy.
Some how I managed to get a couple of cards done this week and even early, yeah me:)  This week we have another fabulous sketch at The Sweet Stop SSS168 to help you get started on your crafting this
weekend. Oh, and this week it is Sketch with a Spin so we want to see you use numbers somewhere on you creation that also means there is a prize to be given away along with the chance to be featured on the blog.

With the number theme in mind I started with paper from MME Lime Twist and Bazzilli card stock, love that stuff.  The image is from The Paper Shelter called  Retro Space Girl, sorry I can't help it I love coloring these.  I cut her out and glued her over my cloud dies that I meant to pop up but forgot to do...oh well.  For the die cuts I used the Jumbo Scallop Die-namics  from MFT and Clouds and Rain Drops from Sweet 'n Sassy. Her bubble helmet inspired me to add the clear drops on the scallop for a little extra touch.

The Sweet Stop 167 Bumble Bear

Hello everyone and a very Happy Saturday to you!! I hope you have a wonderful one filled with fun, relaxation and crafty time. It is time for another fabulous sketch at The Sweet Stop SS167 created by the wonderful Korin.
I have to say I kind of love my card this week, this little bear is just way too cute!! This is a digi from The Paper Shelter called Bee Bear and he just makes me smile. The Paper Shelter is also having a DT call and since I adore there stamps I thought I would give it a try:)

The paper I used is some old from my stash I think it is Basic Grey Koshi, totally guessing here. I colored him with Copics and fussy cut him out.  I have had these little bees by Recollection for a long while just waiting to use them.  I added the little swirls with my Sharpie Poster Paint Pen.

CMC Challenge #47 Color with Navy or Dark Blues

I discovered when I started coloring my image that I need to add some darker blues to my Copic collection.  I used Cocoa's Baseball Hat from Sweet n' Sassy and the Sketch is by Charisma Cardz Challenge #26.

The Sweet Stop 166 Life's a Beach

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. It was a good one here filled with fireworks, family Nerf wars and a trip to Build A Bear.  Today the kids had to put up with me crafting since I had two cards due today and I just haven't had a chance to get them done.
  In honor of an upcoming trip to the beach I had to pull out Wryn Beach Babe by Tiddly Inks and used it with this week's The Sweet Stop Sketch 166.  I normally color Wryn with brown hair because she reminds me of my Riley but today this paper just called for a blonde:)
