CMC 3rd Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Hey everyone!! I bet you are here for the Color Me Creative Classroom's 3rd Birthday Blog Hop, if not you have to join in for some great prizes and inspiration.   Everyday this week there will be a new event and chance to win, you can find a list of all the details right HERE.

Suzanne Dean is also offering a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on Copic classes at CMC until Monday.  Trust me you will learn so many coloring tips whether you are a beginner or master Copic user.
The CMC Design Team is starting things off with a Blog Hop.  If you leave a comment on each DT member's blog you will be entered to win (1) of TWO crafty online store gift certificates.   Our wonderful sponsor is no other than Krista Smith of Saturated Canary.  She provided the design team with all of the fabulous images for our projects.  Not only is she super talented but she is such a wonderful person, I love reading her blog.  

 This cute image is called Harley and Haley.  I had fun with this color scheme it just seemed so bright and cheerful.  The ticket stamp is Whimsy Treasured Moments.  I used My Silhouette Cameo to cut out and create all the flowers and swirl.  I just love how the flowers turned out, they are so fun and different I do believe.  I will definitely be using my Cameo more.

Thank You Suzanne Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to a special blog hop for a very special lady.... Suzanne Dean.  

 Today the Design Team from Suzanne's site, Color Me Creative, are hopping along to give our friend and "fearless leader" a HUGE HUG and Thanks!!!  

If you've ever met Suzanne, you know 1) what a HUGE heart she has and 2) how fun, witty and TALENTED she is!!  Suzanne's site has tons of information and inspiration and WE get to help spread the word about her awesome classes by way of her bi-weekly challenges sponsored by some fabulous crafty companies!  This month Suzanne is having a month full of challenges where you can win some wonderful prizes and have some fun along the way, but we wanted to take time to thank Suzanne for all her hard work and dedication for not only us but for all the members on her site and those who are lucky enough to have attended her classes where she shares her talent and coloring tips with us all.  

Suzanne is not only a pleasure to work for, but a wonderful friend with a big love for zebras!! That's right... today we are sharing our "zeebie" (as she calls them) designs dedicated to a wonderful lady who we simply say, "Thanks".  We hope you enjoy the hop and remember, the Holiday Bash at CMC is under way and you don't want to miss our on all the fun excitement and awesome prizes so be sure to stop in and enjoy the holiday spirit with us all.  You can find all the information you need HERE.

 I am so happy and honored to be on this wonderful team.  Suzanne makes it so much fun and takes such good care of us.  Suzanne is a riot as many of you know and anyone who loves country music and life the way she does is tops in my book:) Thank you for all you do Suzanne!!  See the animal print on the suitcases? Well, I learned how to do that in Suzanne's  CMC Class 5.  This was my absolute first attempt at it...not bad if I do say so myself.  I used Saturated Canary Pack Lite for my card.

CMC Summer Blog Hop

Welcome to a special Color Me Creative Challenge Blog Hop! The Design Team has put together some fabulous creations using Saturated Canary’s digital images to kick-start the CMC Summer Sale! Starting May 25th thru August 24th all CMC Classes will be on sale and bundled classes will be on special too...see the CMC Classroom for more details! It’s a fabulous time to take advantage of classes and once you sign up you get a full year in each of the classes you register for...but you can also buy them now and SAVE them to start this fall...your 1 year term does not start until you sign into a class.
 We hope you hop along with the CMC DT today to see all the fabulous creations and be inspired! If you leave comments along the way on the DT blogs you will be entered to win some fabulous prizes including a Free CMC Copic Online Class, a $20 Gift Certificate to SCACD and a $20 Gift Certificate to 7 Kids College Fund!
I decided to embrace the Summer theme by honoring two of my favorite summer things....flip flops and my kids at the beach.  An extra bonus our sponsor is my absolute favorite line of stamps, Saturated Canary by Krista Smith. This sweetie is called Beach Baby.

 

The challenge this week at CMC is to use the colors bright pink and green, love this combo.  I found this notebook in the $1.00 section at Michael's and used The Cutting Cafe's Summer SVG files to create the cutouts.  I wasn't happy with the patterned paper I had for the umbrella so I cut it out on my Cryogen and used my Copic multi liner to sketch one out and colored it up.  A little Stickles and bling finishes it off.

Copics

Hair-E57, E55, E53, E50 Skin E13, E11, E00, R20 /R85, R83, R81, YG23, YG00 (tip to tip)/Eyes-G24, G20/Sand-E43, E42, E41

There She Goes Mother of All Blog Hops

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps!   Over the next two days, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There She Goes Clear Stamp sets!   Not only that, we’re going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes!

To find out how, please go to the There She Goes’ blog and read the simple instructions.

 Today I am sharing with you some projects I made for Teacher Appreciation Week.  I used Believe In You to create several cute little gifts to hand out during the week, these would be great for end of the year too.  I found this great vase at the Dollar Store which happened to be the same as some I had from Pier One, what luck.  With the flowers this cost me $5.00 to make (the price of the stamps never counts,LOL).

Next I dressed up a little Tea light holder and added a fun little verse.  I used an LED candle so they could use it in the class.  The teachers went crazy over these!!

Next I made these for both the teachers and office staff.  With making your own verses it doesn't leave a lot of room for stamps but how perfectly this worked out!!  There are so many stamps in this set that work great on tags and you can find them HERE.

I hope I inspired you to make your own teacher gifts and to think of all the things you can use these wonderful stamps for aside from cards. I would love for you to become a Follower so you won't miss some more fun projects I will be sharing soon, along with how I used digis to paint a mural on my son's wall.

Enjoy the MOABH!!

Happy Birthday Suzanne Blog Hop

The Color Me Creative Design Team has a secret!!!  Today we are hopping along to wish our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean, a VERY happy birthday!!!  Suzanne is the owner/creator of the Color Me Creative site and, as many of you know, teaches her Copic classes online and on the road!  She is one busy momma and we thought we'd take time to wish her a happy day and hope she gets to sit with her Cherry Coke and donuts (ya, a fav combination of hers!) and relax a bit today and enjoy the hop!

Each of us decided it would be fun to remember Suzanne today in "typical Suzanne" style!  Our creations will either help remember a "funny travel moment" with Suzanne or... share a secret about Suzanne.  Ha!!!  Bet she didn't see this coming!!! LOL

Here is what I created today....

 As you can see the sentiment was created by little ole me:) We all know Suzanne travels with her Copics but lately she has a bit of a....shall we call it an "Obsession" with country music singer Luke Bryan.  She has already been to several concerts over the past few months with more to come.  I fear that if he sees her on the front row again he might get a restraining order, LOL.   I can only imagine how fun Suzanne is at a concert so I hope I get to go with her some day (San Antonio Rodeo*wink wink*:)

I merged two Tiddly Inks images together for my card Bloom Q and Suitcases. The sentiments on the ticket stamps from Whimsy reminded me so much of Suzanne.

Here is a little Eye Candy to go with her card:)

Now hop on over to the rest of the DT's sites to see what they are sharing about Suzanne.  ;-)

Sweet 'n Sassy Birthday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop!  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is so excited to be celebrating four wonderful years! I am so happy to be apart of this celebration. I have been a Sweet Stop Sugar Baby for 11months now and also had the privilege of being a member of The Sweet 'n Sassy DT.  Korin is a wonderful, sweet and talented lady and I want to wish her many more years of success.

  A fantastic group of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps design team members past and present, along with some special friends, have put together this fabulous Birthday Blog Hop to kick off a whole month of fun. We have 37 stops so the hop will take place over three days - feel free to take your time visiting each blog!  You have until 11:59pm EST November 9th to leave comments on as many blogs as you can.  On Saturday, November 12th Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will announce FOUR winners (chosen at random from comments on random stops along the hop); each lucky winner will receive a prize pack including stamps, dies, paper & twine valued at $40!

If you have been following along already you should have come from Margo's Blog.  If you are only starting here, please head back to the SNSS blog and go from there.  You won't want to miss any stops along the way!  Also, don't forget to comment on as many stops as you can....the more comments the better your chance of winning one of the fabulous prize packs! :)

Cardinal Blessings

 I decided to make something a little different to show you how versatile Sweet 'n Sassy stamps can be.  I used the Cardinal Digi so that I could size him to fit my wreath but it is also available in a great clear set. I colored the image with Copics and did a second set of wings so that I could pop it up to give dimension.  The Flowers are from the Your Friendship Set and I just stamped, layered and added some silver Stickles to edges.  The Swirls are all from Sizzix and the Pine Branch Punch from Martha Stewart is my favorite tool this time of year.  The sentiment is from the new Sweet 'n Sassy Christmas Tags (love this set).

 

Here is a close up of the way I colored the feathers and added Polar White Flower Soft to create a snowy look on the branches.

 Copics

P89, R29, R27, R24/YR15, YR18/E59, E57,E44, E43, E42/G99, G94
