Two More

So today I have two more ppinkydoll images that I made into cards. These darn things are so cute. The first image is colored with Copics and then I cut the frame using a Spellbinders Die and some butterflies that I cut with an SVG file that I have had for a long time.

 Glossy Glaze on the eyes and little tiny shoes.

 And then inside.

The next card is done using papers from Bo Bunny that I am so in love with. Again I colored the image with Copics and used a Spellbinders Die for the Frame. 

 I used Zig glitter brush on the wings and buttterflies and Glossy Glaze on the eyes and heart.

 And look how pretty the inside turned out.

 I hope you all have a great day and find time to take a look at Chrishanthi's PPINKYDOLL etsy shop and keep your eye open for the new Challenge Blog that will be active soon. 

Some Really Fun Images

A little while back I came across this Artist...Chrishanthi of ppinkydolls(facebook page.) Her Etsy shop is HERE and you can find some wonderful Digital Images as well as original artwork, prints and dolls. You really need to cheek this out.
I have recently made several card using the images. First off is this great Red Queen. I colored the image with Copics and used papers by Kaisercraft.

 Spellbinders Dies for the frame.

 And then inside:

Come back tomorrow and I will share the other cards I have made using these images.

New Release Day At Bugaboo

It is time for another New Release over at Bugaboo and this one is perfect for the time of year. How many of you have had a chance to get out and do some camping or hiking this summer. I so miss our camping trips. It seems it has just gotten to be too much of a hassle or that something else always comes up. It's the pits getting old.
So back to the New Release for today. I colored the image with Copics and used some papers from Bo Bunny that I have had around forever. Just love them.

 Oh darn you can't see the glitter pen effect on the lantern. This image reminds me of my brother in law, Mike.

 And I could not get a color correct to save my life on this photo. I went back and tried 3 different times. It should be just as bright as the others. It does look good in person.

You should run over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the Designers have to share today and then head over to the Bugaboo Store and do some shopping. The 50% Off sale goes on through Thursday so take advantage if you can. I hope you all have a great day and a fun week.

Friday Freebie At Bugaboo

Good Friday morning to you all. Can you believe it is the last week in July already? Soon it will be time for all the kids to head back to school and parents can get back to a routine they can handle. But in the meantime Jodie, over at Bugaboo has a great Free image for you today. This would be great on a scrapbook page that goes along with your kids many summer adventures. How about a decoration on a corner of a picture frame that features your favorite little one in the pool or at the beach.  Head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has come up with today and then scoot over to the Bugaboo Store to grab this image for yourself.
For my image today I colored it with Copics and then added some liquid applique to the waves and some glitter mod podge to the sun.

 The glossy look on the hearts, floaties and beach ball are done with a new to me product  called Instant UV Resin. It cures in 3 minutes in sunlight. And look at that shine.

 The inside of the card is nice and bright too. The papers are Bo Bunny; Lemonade Stand.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Ours is supposed to be really Hot! Might just have to get in the swimming pool.

New Release Day At Bugaboo

It is another New Release Day at Bugaboo and today Jodie has a really fun image for you. This makes great tags, bookmarks and or cards. If you head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog you can see some great examples from the Design Team.
For my image today I made Book Marks or gift tags. I colored the daisies and border with colored pencils.

 A close up for you.

 I hope everyone has a great day and I'll see you back here Friday if not sooner.

Thanks To Everyone.

Thanks for joining Bugaboo for our 4th annual Christmas In July Celebration, We had a great turn out this year and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time. I have picked the winner of the image that I used for the Blog Hop card I made last Saturday and that is Alvina from Alvina's Creations.Go see her blog and see all the great creations she has made to share this week. Very talented lady there.

I wanted to share one other card that I made this week and then didn't get the time to do a post for it. I had a Deadline for a project for the Senior Class I teach on Wednesdays. I thought the card I made using a Humorous Sentiment was really fun and I just love all the Stella Images but this one is super and so fitting for the Christmas Season around my house. Stella Christmas Prozac

 Liquid Applique and glitter pen was used on her hair and hat trim.

 And inside.

And I want to remind everyone that there is a 50% off all images in the Bugaboo Store that goes on until the end of this month. So head over and stock up.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Friday Freebie At Bugaboo

So today is Freebie Day over at Bugaboo and the Christmas In July Fun is coming to an end.  So for the Challenge today we would love it if you would use the Freebie that you can pick up HERE but it is not required. What is required is to include something that starts with a C. That's it. Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, anything Christmas would work. Carolers comes to mind or just a carol.
I went with Christmas Trees and of course the image has a Candy Cane as well as the adorable little ones at her feet. and I threw in some snowflakes for fun.

 Love all the glitter on this paper from We Are Memory Keepers.

 And then inside.

So everyone at Bugaboo would like to thank you all for joining us and sharing so many wonderful projects. I will be posting the Winner of the Image that I used on my Blog Hop Card last Saturday tomorrow morning so be sure to come back to see if it is you.

New Release Day At Bugaboo

I have been getting so many nice comments the past few days. Thanks everyone and I'm so glad to see that the Bugaboo Christmas In July Event is such a success again this year. So today is New Release Day over on the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and this is a cutie. Jodie just keeps coming up with these darling mice and I love them all.
The Challenge for you today is a Recipe? use Kraft paper. Embossing, wet or dry and Snowflake(s). Easy, right?
For my card today I colored the image with Copics and added some Liquid Applique to the hat trim and the papers are from a Recollections Pad.

 Such an adorable little guy.

 And then inside is ready for to go.

So keep up all the hard work you all are doing with the Challenges and do head over to the Bugaboo Digi Shop to take advantage of the Christmas In July Sale.

Anything But A Card Challenge At Bugaboo

So it is Day 3 of the Christmas In July Fun over at Bugaboo and today is Anything Bug A Card Day to boot. So the Designers all came up with some great gift and packaging ideas for you and we stuck to the color scheme here. You can choose any kind of project that you like, card,tag, gift, just use these colors.
                                             .
So for my project I chose to make this adorable Cocoa Holder. You could put anything in it though. Hot Apple Cider Mix, A Soup packet (do they even make those anymore?)   It could even hold a cookie. Just make the container and add any image you like. I used the Snowman Cocoa image and colored it with my Copics and added some liquid applique on the hat trim and the Cocoa.

 The measurements for the pouch are: a rectangle 7.5" X 4" and score at .5",3.5",4"and 7" along the 7.5" side. Score at the 3.5" along the bottom edge. Make small cuts up to the 3.5 score line on each score along long side. Fold all the score lines, glue the .5" end to the 7" side and then fold the bottom pieces and glue together.

These are pretty quick and fun to make and they would be great for a party favor or a teacher gift or if you were really motivated a great gift for all the kids in the class.
So I hope you have fun with the Challenge today and I just wanted to say there have been some great entries in all the challenges so far. Have a good day everyone.

Stella Says Sketch And Make It Christmas

Day Two of Christmas In July over at Bugaboo and it is a Sketch Day. So the challenge today is to use this wonderful Sketch to create a Christmas themed project.

For my card today I used Christmas Brat Girl dress and some papers from a very old My Minds Eye paper stack.  How sweet is this little girl?

 I used Liquid Applique and Glitter Brush Pen on the hat trim, this is one of my favorite combos these days and I added a tiny plastic candy cane over the drawn one. It was a great fit.

 And the inside.

Friday Freebie at Bugaboo

Happy Fourth Of July to everyone. I hope you all have a safe and fun weekend. I plan on watching Walking Dead Marathon and I am so excited that the Tour de France starts tomorrow morning. It is one of my favorite things and has been for a very long time. I'm usually up at the crack of dawn (3 a.m.) in my time zone enjoying the action and the most beautiful landscapes. I know they rebroadcast later in the morning but I am a early riser anyway and I usually get a lot of work done in my studio.
So today is also a Friday Freebie Day over at Bugaboo and we have a cutie for you. So summery.

I colored the image with Copics and the papers are Bo Bunny Lemonade Stand collection. 

I used several Stampendous products for the background of the image. 

 And inside the card.

 So head over to the Bugaboo Store and grab this image for free and also check out the projects of the Design Team at the Bugaboo Challenge Blog.
I also wanted to share this adorable card that I made for my Daughter eairlier in June.  I just love these mice.

 I had so much fun coloring this with my Copics.

I also want to remind everyone that next Saturday Bugaboo kicks off our annual Christmas In July Party Week. Lots of inspiration and fun challenges. 

I hope you all have a great day.
