Feeling a little buggy....

Good Morning!  I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was rather quiet since my kids were off visiting family.  I was pretty happy to have them home, it was a bit too quiet.  But I was able to color images and watch movies I wanted to watch without guilt or groaning.  I had a foreign film fest this weekend, an Irish film which was good, a movie from Chile which I shut off after a few minutes and a movie from India which turned out to be very good.

So here's a card that I've been working on for a couple of weeks.  I am still not entirely happy with it, but the image sure is cute.  I am featuring a couple more stamps from the Somebuggy Loves You stamp set that was released this month at Sweet n Sassy Stamps.

I made this for my monthly card traders group, the challenge being the Iris Twist technique.  It was a challenge for me - that's for sure!  But the colors are bright and happy and a very cute face is a center focal point.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Whisper White, Green Galore
Paper:  Candy Blossoms (Momenta)
Copics:  B00, B000, RV02, YG00, YG03
Tools:  Paper Piercer
Embellishments:  Green Prima Flowers (Prima), white brads (Bazzil), mini white brads (Queen & Co), Dazzling Diamonds glitter (SU)

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a happy Monday!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #78

Good Morning!  It's tuesday, so that means there's a new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches so I hope you join us.  So here's my card for this week, this is featuring an image from Stitchy Bear Stamps and digi paper from Panda Bear Designs.

Now, I've decided that the best paper to print digi paper out on is actually SU! Whisper White card stock - the weight is great and because the card stock is coated, the colors sit on top of the card stock so they are so vibrant and pretty.

I hope you join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week - it'll be a lot fun.

Sweetheart box

Good Morning!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a pretty relaxing one which was very much needed after the horrific week last week.  I do hope those kind of days at work will be less and less, ugh!  But that's why I posted so little last week, too much stress makes it very difficult to be creative.  However, I printed off the week's digis and packed up my Copics and colored while I waited for Hollyanne who had dance class on Friday nights.  Have the images ready to go made it so easy to put my cards together yesterday.

Well, I don't have a card today - I made a treat box featuring a new digi image from Sweet n Sassy....

I used a box from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff - I added the oval cut out to the box before I cut it.  It is an svg file, so with SCAL and Cricut - this box was ready in minutes!  Added some conversation hearts, a ribbon and cute image and viola! instant gift.

Now this little cutie is Melanie Mouse, she's available in the normal b/w digi format and well as one of the new colored digis.  She was so much fun to color and the twinkle in her eyes will make anyone smile.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest
Paper:  Sweet Romance (Deja' Views)
Copics:  E30, E34, E37, R27, R29, RV02, RV10
Tools:  svg Gable Box (LSS), SCAL, Cricut, Scor-Tape, cello bag
Embellishments:  white satin ribbon

I am entering this into this week's JUGs template challenge.  Hope you like it!!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sweet n Sassy and CPS Sketches

Good Morning everyone!  Happy Sunday to you.  Sweet n Sassy Stamps is sponsoring CPS Sketches this week and it is a great sketch!  I played along and here's my card, featuring the newly released stamp set Cocoa's Latte....

You all know that one of my absolute favorite characters is SNSS' mascot, Cocoa.  I really love this set, it has the adorable cocoa and 5 wonderful sentiments.  One thing I don't do a lot is use Kraft card stock, which is a shame because it looks so great - I must change that habit of mine and use it more often.  I did a lot of paper piecing in this card and I really love the results.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Kraft
Paper:  Linen Closet mat stack (DCWV)
Copics:  E34, E37, RV02, RV10
Tools:  Apron Lace border punch (Fiskars)
Embellishments:  brown button (my stash), linen thread (SU!)
