Fussy and Fancy Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday! I'm glad it's here! All week I battled with a head cold and today I actually woke up feeling human again. Now I have the weekend to catch up with all I left for "later".

Well we are into our 2nd week at Fussy and Fancy with a sketch challenge. Our Sponsor, Simple Betty stamps gave us a chance to play with her new collection, Jude and the Rockers. LOVE them!! This is Brittany. This is my first time coloring hair in Pink. I was so much fun!

This little one reminds my that my girls are not to far behind to enter the Tween scene. I just hope they don't come home with Pink hair! LOL!

Two for you!

Today I have two to share. I hope you like them both. The first one includes Spellbinder Tilda. Once again I colored her a long time ago and recently found Echo Park paper that I love! After putting her together my new Sweet Rainbow collection arrived.

I needed another card for my distress class I teach and well I toned it down just a little for class. I love the way both of these came out.

They both have a separate message, One wishing our USA a Happy Birthday and two, a message to our troops, hugs and kisses for all they do! Come home safe!

So Sweet Tilda

Well it's another Monday, don't I sound excited. LOL!! I did get to play over the weekend so that is something to be excited about! Last week I taught my distress ink class at my local scrapbook store and it reminded me of my love for distress inks. So I decided to play this weekend with them.

Actually I was also creating for my next class over at A Scrapbook Store and More. This is what I came up with.... SO sweet and simple... at least I hope. This is Sweetie Tilda from the new Sweet Rainbow Collection. I had to have her, yes I know, I have to have them all BUT this little Tilda looks so serene and soft. Which lead me to such soft paper and coloring. Totally up my alley! She is just precious!

Now I know most gate folds have the "front panels" open to the left, but I'm sure you understand why this one opens to the right. LOL! I had to change my flowers up too. I had a beautiful handmade flower all set for this but it was too crowding and the card wouldn't open right. No worries though I will just have to add it somewhere else, coming soon...

Crafter's Companion Sneak Peak!

Happy Sunday! and Happy Father's Day! Today we are having a cookout with Dad and even though he does all the grilling. That's his favorite part! You wouldn't believe what he requested for gifts, gift cards to local grocery stores. If that doesn't tell you something!

I used my Ultimate tool to create this center step card, love that thing!! Even though the sentiment is friends forever, this is so my sister and me.

CASE a DT at Fussy and Fancy

Yeah Friday! and another challenge at Fussy and Fancy. Today we are asking to CASE a DT. What is CASE? It's Copy And Share Everything. The Design team over at Fussy and Fancy have some gorgeous projects to inspire you.

Today I'm sharing one of my new Maggies from the Sweet Rainbow collection. I LOVE this new collection. I can't get enough of these adorable images. Watercan Tilda is colored in Copic markers. The paper is from Echo Park, For the Record and my perfect sentiment is Whimsy stamps.

Thanks as always for dropping by and sharing your time with me. I always look forward to hearing from you. Don't forget Fussy and Fancy is a two week challenge, and the team will have more to inspire you with next week too. Double the fun!

True Love...even if he's still a frog

Well as promised here is my second card that our Distress watercoloring class will be making Thursday nite at A Scrapbook Store and More. Paula, the shop owner, which by the way is the sweetest person you could ever meet! Loves this image! She recently brought Magnolias to the shoppe for sale and this was on her first order.

I have to say I cheated again. This was colored months ago. I know it's crazy but I just love coloring and trust me when I say I have lots of images that sometimes wait for the perfect paper. This paper is Prima Botanical collection. SOOO Pretty!! My layout was inspired or cased by Bev Rochester, All Things I Love. She's always and inspiration! Hope the class enjoys it too!

I made this simple flower, my second pastime. I believe they are called lollipop flowers, soooo easy. This is one a many I will also be teaching at the shoppe this month. WHEW!! Busy me!


Challenges:

Cheerful Stamp Pad: Things with wings
Paper Cupcakes: Pick two: Ribbon and Flowers

Summer Fun

Well today is the official first day of Summer Break and boy the weather is surely letting you know too! I really wish there was a way to work on a laptop from a floaty in a nice cool pool!! Thank heavens it doesn't get dark til late, I get to squeeze a little time...

I wanted to share my cool and refreshing water card. I'm teaching a distress inks class this week at my LSS, A Scrapbook Store and More. We are doing two cards and I will post my pics for the second card tommorrow. I noticed I have a dot showing up on those pics and I have to redo. ANYWAYS, this is Surf Tilda. I colored her about a year ago. Crazy Huh! I just found the paper I thought she would be most fun on. I love the water accents, I added some Glossy Accents to the flowers to create a wet look on them as well. Doesn't she just cool you off?

I hope my class enjoys coloring her as much as I did.
