Hip to be Square

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Helen has chosen our challenge and it is..."Hip to be Square"!  I've combined it with Catch the Bug's Humor Me Wednesday; humor holidays for this week are:

June 19th: Family Awareness Day and Father's Day
June 21st: Go Skateboarding Day, National Selfie Day, Tall Girl Appreciation Day, and World Music Day
June 22nd: Stupid Guy Thing Day
June 23rd: Let It Go Day
June 24th: International Fairy Day or Fairie Day and Take Your Dog to Work Day

I went with "International Fairy Day", in a square format of course!  The image is colored with pencils and I've accented her wings with glitter.  I used my new Gina Marie dies and matted them with Spellbinders dies...it's nice to let the dies do all the work instead of painstakingly measuring and cutting!  I've embellished simply with a button.

Nerd Boy Balloon

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day!  In addition to remembering your loved ones, I hope you are able to celebrate the holiday with family and friends.  We have a new sketch for you at From the Heart Stamps, along with a new twist "Show Off Your Coloring Skills"; here's the sketch:

I would have done a 1 layer card with a colored image in the right lower corner, but since I'm without a printer right now (thank goodness for the printing service at the library!) I had to improvise and make use of the images I have printed and waiting to be colored.  I have several printed on a page and I would have needed to pre-plan the layout, so I did the next best thing...cut a hole so I could slip my image between the layers and let it peek out.  It worked!  Faith's adorable new image is colored with pencils and I've added some Glossy Accents to his glasses...I really do need to remember to use this more often...love the raised shine!  I've embellished with banners, a button, and some twine.  Here's a close-up:

Christmas Chaos: Sketch Challenge

Good morning!  Welcome back to Day 2 of Catch the Bug's Third Annual Christmas Chaos!  Today we have a Sketch Challenge for you...are you up for it?  Here it is:

Great sketch, right?!  I altered it to a square format and took a clean and simple approach, using just 1 patterned paper and no matting for the card base.  I did round some of the corners for interest...I love using my corner chomper!  The image is colored with pencils and accented with glitter.  I've double matted the image and added a button with ribbon for embellishing.  I like the quirky chartreuse and bright colors!

Sketch Saturday #303

Good morning!  We have a new sketch and a new weekly sponsor...Drawn With Character!  If you havn't checked out these adorable images you will want to...they are seriously cute!  I love the whimsy and playfulness...thank you, Krista, for the adorable image to work with today.  Here's the awesome sketch:

I really had a hard time choosing an image, but when I saw the cupcake I knew it was "the" one!  My 17 year old daughter owns/operates a cupcake business so I am partial to them.  The image is colored with pencils and paired with some Basic Grey paper from my stash...I knew the "sprinkle" paper would be perfect.  I've embellished simply with a button and a snippet of ribbon.

Instant witch...

Good morning!  It's ABC Monday at Catch the Bug; for my "anything but a card" I made a treat container.  I actually had planned to make some treat packaging for my kids, but when I saw this fun image, already printed, and laying on my table I switched my plan.  Gotta love Stella!  And her sass!

The image is colored with pencils and I've accented the green brew, the star, and her purple eyelids with glitter.  I matted the image and adhered it to a basic tag; the sentiment is also a tag and I've tied it all to the container with twine and a button.  The container is covered with patterned paper held in place with a strip of double stick tape; I've filled it with iridescent shred and it's the perfect size for some instant coffee treats.  Voila'!  Cute packaging that's quick and easy!

You're Spectacular

Good morning!  It's time for From the Heart Stamps October Blog Hop; our them this month is "Meet the Design Team"...hop along for some fabulous inspiration from the DT, plus interesting facts and tips!

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry.  One random commentor will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from Faith's store.  Additionally, we have a "Scavenger Hunt" game with some prizes on the FTHS blog. 

If you have arrived from the From the Heart Stamps blog you are in the right place...I am first stop on the hop today!  We were to choose our favorite image and favorite technique for today's card.  While it is very hard to pick an overall "favorite" image, I went with the newest Birdbrain because it seems that each one that comes out is my new favorite!  My favorite techniques are Magic Pencil and using loose glitter.  Love the stuff...it just makes me happy!  It doesn't matter that gets everywhere...including my face...I just love the sparkly goodness!  Here's my card:

I thought of this fun patterned paper I had bought, but not yet used, when I saw this image...I knew it would be perfect!  I've colored the image with pencils and added red glitter and Swarovski flatbacks to the glasses, along with white glitter to her eyelids and spots on her tummy.  I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and modified it a bit; it's flipped, the center panel is tilted, and I've placed the center element to the left to better accommodate the sentiment.  I've embellished simply with some mesh and a button.  I love how bright and cheery this turned out...I think it will go to my daughter.

Here are some fun questions for the "Meet the Design Team" portion of the hop!

What is something about you that none of the other team members know?
I have "twin toes", meaning my 2nd and 3rd toes are almost completely conjoined on both feet.  Strange, but true!

*"Webbed toes is the common name for syndactyly affecting the feet.  It is characterised by the fusion of two or more digits of the feet.  This is normal in many birds, such as ducks; amphibians, such as frogs; and mammals, such as kangaroos.

Who is the last person you sent a card to?
A member of the Secret Sister Swap I'm in.

Describe your crafting space.
Cluttered!  I have a beautiful studio with skylights, but I prefer to use the dining room table since I can still be close to my family.  From time to time (usually when there is zero table space left) I tidy up but as soon as I make a card it is a mess again!

Why do you like to make handmade cards?
I like the sense of accomplishment when I finish (that is, if it turns out!)...it's a mini piece of art.

What is your best coloring tip?
Plan your card before you start; choose your papers and embellishments and color the image to coordinate.  Also, if it isn't turning out it's okay to throw it away...it's only paper!

What is a good tip for printing digital images?
Resize!  That is what is so awesome about digis...you can tailor them to your project, whatever the size may be.  If in doubt about the size, print it on a used piece of copy paper so you don't waste cardstock.

Now head on over to Brenda's blog to check out her fabulous creation!

Thanks for hopping along with us today; the hop will end on Monday, October 5th at 6:00 a.m.  Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps blog on Wednesday, October 7th.

Hello

Good morning!  I have a card to share featuring both the current From the Heart Stamps sketch and newest critter...Prickles!  This image is the June Stamp of the Month.

How to color a hedgehog?  I decided to Google pictures of one and discovered that the tips of their "prickles" are white.  I did try to do that...without much luck....  I don't feel I did this adorable critter justice!  I will keep trying!  I used some bright and cheery papers, from my stash, matted with black to make them pop; for embellishing I've used a single button.
