Let's Play

I made this for this week's inspiration challenge over on the Paper Smooches Sparks Blog and Freshly Made Sketch #37.....

Here's the inspiration photo from the Sparks Blog...

  

I went with the turquoise color and circles from the picture for the theme of my card. Oh, and the photo also has that big piano in it.....the sentiment I used is "let's play".....get it?....you can PLAY a piano.......yeah, okay, it was a stretch....lol!  Anyhooooo.....the stamp set is Chubby Chums from Paper Smooches, the circle DP is from my Echo Park Paradise Beach paper pad (I got mine at i{heart}papers), the sentiment is cut out with a flag die from Lil' Inker Designs, the large turquoise panel is tempting turquoise from SU, and I colored the dog with Copics (YG11, E41, E42, E43, 0, W1, W5, R20, R22, R24).

....and here's Freshly Made Sketch #37...

Have a great day.  :)

Woo-HOOO!

Thought I'd play with my Chubby Chums set again for Deconstructed Sketch #53.

Love this sketch, love this stamp set, and I love these Summer Fresh papers....especially that denim floral pattern. I'll be keeping EVERY single scrap of it so I can use it as much as I can....it's definitely my fav in the paper pad.  :)

The owl was colored with Copics (E00, E13, E41, E42, E43, W1, 0, YR21, YR68), cut out with scissors and popped up on foam tape.  I cut out all the ribbons with my MFT First Place Award Die-namics (the smaller one) and layered them all up (totally inspired by this Summer Fresh paper pad).  The one with the Woo-hooo sentiment is also up on foam tape. The scallops at the bottom of the floral DP were cut with my small scallop border Die-namics from MFT.  The large kraft panel on the card base was embossed with a Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Hope you all have a really great day!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  :)

Hey Chickie

I made this card for two challenges...Mojo Monday Sketch#242 and the Sparks Cool Shades Color Challenge from this week.

I'm having so much fun playing with my new Chubby Chums set from Paper Smooches....love this adorable chick from the set.  Papers are Seaside by October Afternoon.

Copics: 0, BG10, BG11, BG13, G21, G24, G28, G40, E41, E42, R20, YR15, YR21, YR68

Have a great day!

sMOOches

LOL!....love this "sMOOches" sentiment from my brand new Chubby Chums set. It just arrived in the mail on Saturday and I couldn't wait to make a card with one of the cute animals in the set.

The layout is Sweet Sunday Sketch #159, papers are Farm Fresh by October Afternoon, the cow is colored with Copics (R000, R00, R20, BG0000, BG10, BG11, BG13, W1, W3, G21, G24, G40, 0), and Stickles were added to the blue dots around the cow.

Have a really great day!

You're a Hoot

I just ordered some Paper Smooches stamps for the first time (what has taken me so long??) and I can't wait to get them.  While waiting, I thought I'd print off a couple of their free digi images (yep, FREE!) and play along in this week's Sparks Challenge.  Here's what I came up with...

The sketch looked really cool and simple.....but oh my word, did I EVER make it COMPLICATED by trying to do these panels of DP.....seriously, it's embarrassing how long it took me to make this card because I kept messing up the panels....lol!  The owl and die-cut sentiment are up on foam tape and I linked them together with some twine.  Papers are Quite Contrary Jack and Jill by My Mind's Eye; they're all glued down together onto a panel of CS and then that panel was glued to the card base with foam tape.  Copics used:  E41, E42, E43, YR15, YR21, BG11, BG93, BG96.

Have a really great day!
