Paris and Lattes

I hope everyone in blog land had a wonderful weekend!! We got some much needed rain last night so for that I am very thankful. Preschool starts this week and the rest of the kids go back the following. We are slowly going to start going to bed early and the same with getting up. The kids are all ready to see their friends again.
There is a new challenge up at The CMC Copic Challenge Group and it runs until August 31st. This time the challenge is to us Black and Dark Grays on your image. There are also a few more days to take advantage of the summer sale at the CMC Class Room so don't miss out. Our sponsor this week is Milk Coffee Digis and they are offering the winner a $15.00 gift certificate to their shop.
I finally decided to get started on my Smash book that has been sitting on the shelf for 6 months. I just love this girl from Milk Coffee -Tiffany. She looked so cute and stylish with her latte I decided to add a Paris background stamp by Make It Crafty. I tried to give the background a light water color effect using my Copics.

The tape, journal page and book are all Smash products. I cut the "Travel" out with my Slice and even added a little coffee stain on my doily to make it look authentic:) I had a lot of fun coloring this one.

Notebook Cover-The Sweet Stop Sketch 171

Happy Sweet Stop Saturday my friends!! Another week has come and gone way to quickly. We took another trip to Austin today but his time to stop by Ikea. My kids love going there and playing in the kids area while we shop, it was on their "summer to do" list. So funny I take them to children's musems and places all summer and they just want to go to Ikea, granted I think this trip cost me more than any of the others LOL.
Anyway, as I said it is The Sweet Stop Saturday and we have another fabulous sketch to share with you. The reason my card looks so big is because this is actually a special cover I made for my first graders 3 ring binder. Riley loves mermaids, dolphins and lady bugs so we hit 2 out of three.

The background stamp is from Make It Crafty called Coral Border Digi, the mermaid is Sweet November Shimmer Rekelp and the dolphin is from the Ocean Wavedancer digi. The swirl is from Memory Box. The wave punch is from Fiskars and I used circle punches and Copics to create the bubbles. Riley made sure that I knew dolphins look shiny so I added a coat of Glossy Accents and the mermaid got a coat of Crystal Stickles.

Happy Birthday Matey

I just wanted to share a birthday card I made for my son. This year was all about pirates and Jack Sparrow so I found this great Treasure Map digi from Make It Crafty and paired it with this cute Pirate Cooper from Paper Pretties. I was so excited I got a Spellbinders Grand Calibur for Christmas and it gave me a chance to use the Grand Dies Label 1. I doodled the X around the bottom and colored everything with Copics but unfortunately I can't seem to find the list of colors. Coloring the map took quite a bit of time but it made me so happy that he loved the card so much he actually sat and looked at all the details before tearing open the presents.

Beach Time At My Partner In Crafting Crime

Another weekend has come and gone and I can't believe it is almost July. Time just seems to be flying by faster and faster. Speaking of it is time for another challenge at My Partner In Crafting Crime. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and after that we are going to take a short summer vacation but not to worry will be back with more challenges in September.

Challenge #30 Beach Theme

For this one anything beach themed will do!

image, colors, papers... up to you...

I am pretty excited about my card today... I just love this little Hula Girl from Make It Crafty and I had a blast coloring her. I started my usimg the June SFYTT, love this sketch and will definitely use it again. My paper is Bo Bunny Mango Luau and I used a little raffia to finish it up.
