Class Time!!!

Well, Andrea and I have another Copic class ready to go for this Sunday, October 25th!!! This month we are featuring some adorable images from The Greeting Farm!



This is Megan and I think she looks SO saucy!! The cardstock is all Bazzill and coordinates perfectly with the sparkly patterned paper by Best Creation Inc. I looooove the pinks and purples! I stamped Megan on Neenah cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in with my Copic markers. Here's a list of the colours I used: E000, E00, E11, R20, E42, E43, E44, BV01, BV31, V000, V01, V06, RV32 and RV34.



I cut her out using my Creative Memories cutting mat and circles. I added some fantastically bright pink grosgrain ribbon across the middle and attached some pretty pink flowers around the edge with tiny brads! Isn't she adorable?



Then I decided to do a real boyish card, because I know I am always struggling to do manly cards...how about you?? I used the Hello Ian stamp on Neenah cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink....again...hehe. Again the cardstock is all by Bazzill and the patterned paper is by Pink Paislee this time. Here are the copics I used to colour Ian: E000, E00, E11, R20, R29, R59, YG91, BG93, BG96, YR21, YR23, E31 and E55.



I added some lovely green grosgrain ribbon and tied it in a bow. I then took a clear button and traced it on some coordinating dp and cut it out. I attached it to the button and added some linen thread. I sponged around the edges of the focal layer using a chalk ink and a sponge dauber. I attached the button and some Prima leaves to the corner of the image and pop dotted everything!!

So these are two of the fabulous cards that you will be creating yourself if you come to our Copic class on Sunday at Scrappin' Great Deals! There are several spots left, so be sure to call Sheila at the store and reserve your spot!!

See ya then!!

Bringin' You Sunshine!!

Another quickie post ladies.....I'm busily preparing for tonight's Copic class and remembered that I hadn't posted my other card for the class!! Silly me!! Well here she is!!

It's super hot and sunshiney here, so this card reflects the day perfectly! It's the summer Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm! She's just so sassy and cute! I used all Bazzill cardstock and some sweet Doodlebug patterned paper. I zipped up the pink colour by adding some Bazzill flowers and attaching them with big brads! I also dressed it up a little by using my Apron Lace border punch along the bottom.

The Copic markers I used are: E00, YR20, YR21, G20, R83, R85 and since the sunglasses didn't come out solid black, I went over the area with W7.



Well, I'd better get back to it!! Hope you have a wonderfully sunshiney weekend!!

Two Challenges....Yay Me!!!

As you probably know, I've had less and less time lately to play in my craft room. Summer is always a busy time, especially with covering shifts at work for the lucky gals who are on holiday!! Later on this month though, I'm going to be taking a few days off myself, so hopefully I can catch up a little bit!!

Anyhoooo, with all the busyness...I was so proud of myself when I finished this card this morning and I did two SCS challenges with it!!! Yay me!!

The Limited Supplies challenge for today is to make a card with a summer actitivy theme...well, this sweet TGF image of a little girl singing and playing music in the sunshine fits, I think! Also this week's Sketch Challenge was perfect too!!

So I stamped the image, which I scooped up at The Town Scrapper, on Neenah smooth cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in with my Copic markers to coordinate with this awesome My Mind's Eye paper. The markers I used are: E00, E11, R20, E21, E25, E27, E29, E33, YR12, YR14 and YR09.

The card base is Chocolate Chip with Tangerine Tango and Apricot Appeal for matting. I added some satin ribbon and attached some flowers with a sparkle brad. The finishing touch was to sparkle up the center of the flower in her hair with my Spica gel pen.



Well, I'm off to work again today and tomorrow...yuck! But I'll be back on Monday with something new!! Have a stampin' good weekend!!!

Hang 10!!

Good morning, stampers! It's a little cooler here in Ontario today, but I'm happy anyway. Wanna know why? Because today is my last day of work before 10 whole days of holidays!!! yaaaaay!! I'm excited!

My card today makes me think of hot summer days that are soon to come! The new Surfer Ian stamp came from The Town Scrapper and I know she has a bunch more of the new ones and some older ones, so give Phebe a call to find out what she has in the store right now. The patterned paper is from Phebe too and I believe it's by WeRMemorykeepers. The colours went really well with this image, I think.

I stamped Ian on Wausau bright white cardstock and coloured him in with coordinating Copic markers. The images by The Greeting Farm are so much fun to colour! Then I cut Ian out. The card base is Gable Green with So Saffron for matting. I took some Bashful Blue cardstock and cut it out with a wavy Creative Memories template and then ran it through my Cuttlebug using the D'vine Swirls embossing folder. I sponged the edges with BBlue ink and then layered them on the bottom edge of the card, pop dotting the top layer and adding some yellow scrapper's floss. I stamped a great Beachy Sentiment by CCDesigns and punched it out with my oval punches, pop dotted it and also Ian himself!!



Well, I'm off to work and get stuff cleared off my desk and out of my in basket before I get to relax for a week! We won't be going to far this week as Emileigh is still in school but we may be doing some day trips and a bunch of stuff around the house. I hope to get a bunch of stamping done too!! Yay!!

Have a super day!!
