Tiddly Inks Challenge #6: Bring on the Bling!

My friend Larissa, who is a Tiddly Inker, told me I would love this challenge.... She's right! This one is right up my alley!

The digi image I used is called "Angel Q" and I colored her with Prismas. For bling I added some glitter to the image and some Swarovski flatback crystals to the corners. I tried to capture the glittery goodness with the photo. I also added some felt clouds cut from the new MFT Die-namics die.

Embellies: Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter in "Polar Bear", Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Emerald", White Felt

I believe there is still a bit of time to play along with this challenge...check it out at Tiddly Inks Challenge blog. Random generator picked my number again last week, so I have $10 to spend on digis! Woot woot! There are usually new stamps added every week, and there are some cute digi papers as well.

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day. We plan to have a picnic; I'm serving homemade chicken salad on croissants along with some other goodies.... Mmmm, I can't wait!

Thanks for the visit!

Hello there! This is my last week as a guest designer for The Corrosive Challenge Blog...sniff sniff! Our challenge this week was "cooking"; I was so happy I got to finish my term with one of my favorites...Changito!!! He is whipping up a batch of cupcakes...mmm, sounds yummy!

I have used this layout a few times now; I like how it showcases 2 DPs. You may also recognize this Doodlebug DP that I recently used for a Tuesday Morning Sketches card. I love the colors and the petite pattern.

Embrace Life

Hello and happy Friday! I am enjoying a Friday off; it's been quite awhile since I've had one. The weather is beautiful; sunny and warm, but not too warm...it's perfect!

I was cleaning my craft table this morning; I tell you, it really needed it! You know it's time when you don't have empty space on the table to craft! I am still not sure how I manage to make such a mess.... As I was putting some DP away I had an idea; I combined this pretty paper with SCS sketch challenge 281. It was super quick and easy!

Sentiment: SU! Embrace Life
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Blush Blossom, and True Black, DP ?
Embellies: Swarovski Flatback Crystals
Extras: Cuttlebug/Embossing Folder, SU! Oval and Scalloped Oval Punches, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, EK Success 3D Dots

Alright, I better get back to work. I have a bit of cleaning to finish before I pick up DS from school. DD rode her bike. I am hoping to squeeze in a bit more crafty time too!

Thanks for stopping by; enjoy your day!

It's Tuesday Morning Sketch Time

Good morning! Today I have another sketch from Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches Our sponsor thes week is Meljen's Designs Digital Stamp Shop Check them out, they have some cute digi stamps!

I colored my sleepy bear with pencils and added some glitter to the ball on his hat. I also used a Gelly Roll pen to add some sparkle to the swirls. The DP is from my Nana's Nursery paper pack from Die Cuts With a View. It's really pretty, but it was a cloudy day and I wasn't able to capture the sparkle in the photo.

CAS68: Hot

Hello! It is very hot here today so the CAS challenge at SCS was perfect; the theme was summer. Right away I thought of this Penny Black stamp; she is one of my "go to" stamps for summer. I think she is just too cute and a hot tamale to boot!

I colored the pig with inkpads and her accessories with Prismas. She's cut out/mounted with nesties and I added a little fudgesicle button just for fun!

The Corrosive Challenge: Clean and Simple

Good morning! Our challenge this week at The Corrosive Challenge Blog was to make a CAS card. I received this cool Changito pirate set recently from a good SCS friend (thanks, I LOVE it!) and knew it would be perfect!

I randomly stamped some of the smaller images, with Versamark, to make a background. Changito is colored with Crayolas then I used a little stipple tool, with Soft Suede ink, to add some texture. The image and sentiment are cut out with nesties and the sentiment is popped up. I don't make many cards for boys, so this is perfect to have in my stash.

Images/Sentiment: Stampendous "Changito Pirates" Clear Stamps

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, SU! Soft Suede

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select and Pure Poppy, SU! Soft Suede

Extras: Crayola Colored Pencils, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Stipple Tool, EK Success 3D Dots

I hope you will stop by The Corrosive Challenge Blog to check out the DT's goodies; you will find links in my sidebar to their individual blogs as well. I hope you will get a chance to play along!

Thanks for stopping by; enjoy your day!

Oops!

Hello! I just finished my Tiddly Inks challenge card; the challenge was to make a card using no DP. I used the SCS sketch #281

This little gal is so cute; I just love her ice cream cone barrette! It is such a bummer that she lost her scoops of Rockey Road and Chippermint; at least she has her Cherry Nut! She is colored with Prismas. For a bit of texture, I used the Cuttlebug numbers folder; I thought it tied in well with the sentiment. I used a black gel pen on her eyes and added accents with a white gel pen as well.

Paper: G.P. 110, PTI Lemon Tart and Dark Chocolate

Extras:Prismas/Goo Gone, Cuttlebug/Embossing Folder, SU! Oval and Scalloped Oval Punches, Sakura Black Gel Pen, Signa White Gel Pen, EKSuccess 3D-Dots

I had a hard time getting a picture today. It was so breezy that my card wouldn't stand up. I really need to get one of those floral frog things to stand it in. Do any of you know where you can get them? Does you have any other method to keep your card standing up?

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday. It is cool, but currently sunny; so much better than the dreary weather I woke up to. Thanks for stopping by!
