Monster Fun and Bright Colors at CMC

Hi!! I think this may have been the longest I have gone without a post. I had to take a little break because life has been a crazy adventure lately. My middle girl Riley who is often my guest designer broke her foot. She is an amazing little trooper and always in good spirits which can be hard when you are 6 years old and unable to do much. Then this week my laptop's hard drive decided to crash. It makes me very upset because it was only a year and half old and the one time I don't get the extended warranty...aaarrrggghh!!! Luckily, I think we got everything backed up*fingers crossed* and I am getting use to my new one. It is going to take awhile to get everything loaded and back but I am thankful my hubby was able to get me a new one. Enough of all that for now, I have more to share but I will save that for next time.

Today there s a new challenge up at the Color Me Creative Classroom and it is all about using bright fun colors.

CMC Copic Challenge

#53 Use Bright Fun Colors

Challenge runs Until October 12th

We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!

Our sponsor is Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and the design team got the chance to use these fun little monster stamps and this one is called Monster Mash.

I felt like making a little door hanger along with my favorite bright lime and pink/melon color combo. This color of green just screamed monster to me. I tried to give her a little bit of a textured look and then added a dotted background to carry on the circle theme.

Copics

YG25, YG23, YG00/RV14, RV13, RV10

Challenges

Through the Craftroom Door #37 Anything Goes

MarkerPop- #7 Color Something

Tammy's Scrapin Corner - #29 Kiddie Card

(I hope a door hanger is ok)

Don't forget to stop by and see what the rest of the CMC design team has created this week.

Have a great weekend I will be back soon to share a few new projects with you that I haven't had time to post.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 121/ Blog Candy Winners!!

I first want to apologize for missing last weeks sketch at The Sweet Stop. I was having a loss of mojo or creativity and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't complete a card that I was happy with. I took a couple days break and jumped back in and got my cards done for this week and am feeling a bit better. Actually I have to say I kind of love my card this week but more about that in just a minute.
Thank you to all that entered my Blog Candy. I am trying to make my way to all of my new followers blogs so please be patient with me my computer time has been so limited lately but I can't wait to meet new friends in blog land. Now for the winners the Blog Candy Goes to Edel and the $25.00 Gift Certificate to All That Scraps goes to sparklingblackrose (Elaine). Congrats, please email me your information so I can get those things out to you.
And now my card for this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS121.

Isn't this just the cutest stamp? I love it and it is brand new by Elisabeth Bell Called Secret Garden Peeker and it is available at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. I had to splurge and get this entire collection. I colored her with Copics and added a few doodles of rocks and grass along with clouds that I sponged with my favorite sky color Twilight from CTMH....hummm I wonder if I like because of the name?:) I did a little bit of paper piecing on her shoes and belt and distressed all of the edges. The ribbon was actually all cream but I colored the center part with B95. The flower was created using the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge on my Cricuit. I cut them out on cream paper and then sketched the flower centers and edges with B95/B93 and colored the pearl with YG63. The swirls are 2 different dies from Sizzix. The sentiment is from C.C. Designs HERE and I think that is about it.
