I have the perfect image for the cue word this week. I downloaded my Power Poppy Juicy Strawberries image onto  X-Press It Blending card and colored the image with various copic markers. I used one of the sentiments from the digital set and don’t you think it’s perfect for the cue word this week… a Big JUICY Squooshy hug, Amazing!

To finish my card I adhered the art panel onto a Neenah Solar White (110lb) A2 Top Fold card. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride.  I truly appreciate you stopping by……

One of A Kind – CASology

Hello my crafty chica’s……….. Happy Sunday evening to yah! I’m hoping you had a fabulous weekend. I went to a watercolor class on Saturday and this morning I spent sometime in the haven getting my inky on… Let’s cut to the chase I’m playing over on the CASology challenge this evening and the Cue word is Clothes… I love too shop go figure right what girl doesn’t. Here’s my take on the cue word.

This one was pretty easy to make. I’ve been wanting to use the MMH April Card Kit for sometime now it is filled with tons of girly images and dies. I wanted my dress to look like it was on display in a dress shop.
I die-cut the mannequin base out of black cardstock and adhered it to a MFT Die-namics Cross Stitch Oval die cut out of Neenah Solar white cardstock.
I used one of the dress images and stamped it on some old patterned paper from my stash. I love this paper it has an animal print with pink roses in the design. I then stamped the hat image  in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink on Neenah Solar white cardstock and die cut it out adhered it to the top of the mannequin base.
I knew the patterned paper would be perfect for a dress. I used my white sharpie pen to add pearls around the neck. I used the leftover paper to give the image a backdrop… It’s a wrap hope you like my take on the cue word.

I’m back……..

Happy Memorial Day weekend my crafty friends….. I’ve never been so sick in my life. I had a follow-up this past Monday with my Doctor and she informed me that I had pneumonia. Well! Hello people I didn’t get the email or phone call for sure. I’m on a stronger antibiotic that kind of knocks me out.  I’m on the mend and  getting some playtime in the haven off and on this weekend. Woot! Woot! I’m doing the happy dance over here. I’m back and playing this weekend in two of my favorite challenges….. CASology and Freshly Made Sketches. The cue word over at CASology is LOUD and what better way to express it with two tweeting birds.

My first card is pretty simple. I stamped  the first bird onto some Neenah Solar white card and masked it off. I wanted that little bird to look like he was caged in and couldn’t get out that’s the reason for all  the noise. I then stamped the cage over the masked bird.  I stamped the second bird on the side of the cage because he wanted to rescue his little friend.. I colored the cage and birds with copic markers, and mounted my card on a top fold Fog card base.  I was done coloring those hearts and dropped my marker so I had to improvise by rounding the corners. This was pretty easy to create.

Next up is my card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I love the sketch that Linda designed this week. I stamped the Lilly from the SSS Friendship Blooms stamp set onto Neenah Solar White card and colored them with copic markers. I tried a different coloring technique. I feathered the lightest color (V15) on the bottom and tips of the flowers. I used the medium and darkest (V17, V09) leaving a little white highlight it gives the flower some dimension. The center was colored with (Y02) I cut the flowers and leaves with my Brother Cut N Scan no fussing cutting for this girl.  

I then arranged my flowers around a MFT Stitched Square frame, added some clear Wink of Stella to give the flowers a little shimmer and a few Novo Crystal Drops in Crushed Grape to add  embellishments you got to have that you know.  I used some glossy accents on the stigma the little black dot in the center of the flower to make it pop. I  stamped the sentiment in Versa fine Onyx black ink inside the frame and mounted my card on a top-fold Neenah card base.

CASology -What Season Is It…….

Hello my crafty friends……. what a weekend. I planned a wine and craft afternoon yesterday and it was a blast. I thought I could get some projects done didn’t happen. I talked most of the time. Had a great time with my friends Jan and Michelle. I  managed to get my sister to watercolor a Suzy Plant watercolor card from an old Simon Says Stamp kit as well. This morning I’m playing over on the CASology blog and the Cue word last week was Season……… I new the card I wanted to enter.

I did a few rays of the sunshine with the Tim Holtz Rays stencil and then colored the cross with various copic markers….. Enjoy your day and I’ll be back soon. Oh! By the way hope you like my take on the cue word.

Guess What! Guest Designing At CASology

Woot! Woot! Guess what yeap! you guessed this girl is guesting on her favorite challenge……. CASology! I’ve been doing the happy dance every since I got the email from Melissa asking me to join them this week. I’m super excited this is such an honor and a dream come true for me………. Well enough of my ranting. The Cue word this week is Grow and boy did I have  to rack my brains on this one. 
I used the Altenew Garden Grow stamp set and created a scene… I pulled out a ton of copic markers  and a little masking to make this one happen. I knew I wanted an outdoorsy ( is that even a word) setting so I pulled out a brick stencil to create my scene. I hope you enjoy my take on this weeks cue word…….

CASology #243

Hello my crafty friends…. I’m hoping you had a great weekend… I had a super busy weekend. I spent yesterday at SU OnStage here in San Diego such a nice day with my crafty peeps.  I have to admit the new Annual Catalog will blow you away some really great stamp sets coming your way. I had the best plans today and you know how that goes right. I planed my day to go workout at this new club called Orange Theory and then I was going into the Office to catch up on some work well that didn’t work out because the server was down what a bummer…. I then decided to come home and just finish up a few projects in the haven. This evening I’m playing over on the CASology blog cue word is Icing.
I had no idea what to create I went through my stash until an idea popped in my head… I used the LF Baked with Love set and colored my images with several copic markers. I wanted to create a bakery window display so I used the Flirty frames die to make a window and used the Tim Holtz brick stencil and softly blended with  clarity brushes to give me a background. Alright friends hope you like my take on the cue word.. I’m out have a great week my crafty friends.
