My Partner In Crafting Crime is Back

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to stop in and let you know that My Partner In Crafting Crime is back with a new challenge.

The theme for this one is 

#31 TRAINS, PLANES, and AUTOMOBILES.

and since we are just starting back we will keep it easy and allow any mode of transport!!

 With that being said I used this cute Digi called Spring Ride from one of our two sponsors Bows & Berries.  Our other sponsor this week is the fabulous Glitterbabe Digis so I hope that you will play along for your chance to win.

I kept my card clean and simple this week and just let these fun papers called Blossom Soup by Jillibean Soup and the cute digi take center stage.  I made the sentiment and tag my self and used my Martha Stewart punch to add the flower details.
The Challenge runs until September 25th so there is plenty of time to enter.  Please stop by and visit the rest of the wonderful team

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.

Let' s Get Tutti Fruitti with My Partner In Crafting Crime

Hello!! How was everyone's weekend? Nice and hot here but we actually didn't do much of anything except church this weekend..boring I guess you could say.  With it being summer we don't actually have to get everything done on the weekend if you know what I mean.

It is time for a new challenge at My Partner In Crafting Crime and the theme is

#29 Tutti Fruitti 

We want to see fruit some where on  your creation.  With it being a 100 degrees here I think my card is very fitting or should I say refreshing.  Sorry I can be a goof ball sometimes:) I used a coat of Glossy Accents on the lemons and lemonade but it just didn't show up in the picture.

Details

Stamps- Taylored Expressions-Chillax (sketch TESC38 sort of)

Paper- DCWV Citrus Stack,, SU Cardstock

Copics-Y15,Y13,Y11/YG23,YG25/B00,B000

Now it is your turn to use some of that summer fruit for your chance to win a prize and be featured as one of The Most Wanted at My Partner In Crafting Crime. Have a great week and I will see you soon!!

My Partner In Crafting Crime #28 Uncolored Image

Happy Memorial Day!! Please don't faint this is my third post in a row with another tomorrow, I told you I have been busy.   Today is another fun challenge at My Partner In Crafting Crime the challenge is to keep those images UNCOLORED.  It was difficult for me but also a lot if fun to figure out how to make the image still pop.

I used one of my favorite new stamp sets from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Shining Light, this is such a great and versatile set.  The paper is from DCWV called The Nantucket Stack.  I did a little paper piecing on the the light house and used the Labels 4 Spellbinders and some dimensionals to to give it a little extra.
I hope that you will play along with me and the rest of the PCC design team for your chance to win some free digis and to be our "Most Wanted" you can get all the details right Here.

My Partner In Crafting Crime #25 Bring Out The Twine

It is time for a new challenge at My Partner In Crafting Crime and this time we want to see you use that Twine, String or Jute.  I had so much fun with this card.  I had forgotten how much I like doing circle easel cards.   I absolutely love this new paper I found from SEI called Bright Blossom, every page is just gorgeous.
This cute little monkey has been in my stash from CC Designs called Flower Power.  I started by using my largest circle Spellbinder and then cut out a 6" flower from my Cricut Cartridge Mother's Day Bouquet and added it to carry out the blossom theme.

 Here is a close up of how I added the twine to make a leaf behind the flower.

Inspiration at My Partner In My Crafting Crime

Good morning!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, my girls got over their bug quickly and luckily the rest of us stayed well, yippee!! Maybe this week I will get some extra crafting done.  I am working on making a hair color chart to share with everyone. I have one I made quickly for myself by putting together different Copic combos that I have either come up with or collected over the past year.  It makes it so nice to use as a reference.
It is time for another fun challenge over at My Partner In Crafting Crime this week we want to see how you are inspired by this beautiful photo.
