Harvest Mice and More No Line Coloring!

Good morning!

It is a very gloomy, rainy day here in Chicago. 

I am heading out the door soon to pick up Cortney. We were invited to a charity bowling event tonight for her best friend, Patty.  It will be great seeing her and even greater that she gets a chance to catch up with her "old" friends!

I absolutely adore this stamp set from MFT called, Harvest Mouse. I also LOVE the look of no line coloring and am thoroughly hooked!  I did a bit of masking so my mice were behind the piles of leaves. 

I colored the image with Copic Markers.  I used my Mini Misti to line up my sentiment so it wasn't wonky!  I added a bit of polka dot paper and red gingham ribbon. For my final touches I used glossy accents on the cherries, and my Wink of Stella pen for the leaves. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

House Warming Cards and Bags

Good morning! I am sharing a  couple of cards and gift bags that I thought would be perfect for enclosing a gift card for a new home owner or a recent college grad! 

I used my Silhouette to cut the silhouettes! I adhered a dream sticker from the Everyday Life collection.

I added a few sequins and some glitter glue to the heart.

I am in love with these cute striped bags!  I added a silhouette and a sentiment from the Everyday Life collection. I wanted the word, Life to stand out, so I colored it with a pink Copic marker. 

I am loving the colors here of mint green, turquoise, and hot pink! 

I did the same set but used the pink polka dot bags instead and a slightly different color combination. I used the same sticker for the bag and again colored it with a pink Copic marker.  

Pink and baby blue....doesn't get much sweeter!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

I created a step by step tutorial on how I created this ornament using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Foam stickers, glitter, and a few fun trinkets from Queen & Company!

And since I am technology challenged, Dina Kowal also created a video for me,  with her take on these ornaments.  She created two gorgeous ornaments to share!

Birthday Girl! No Line Coloring!

Good morning friends!

I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives Blog with this card.

I picked up this cute stamp by Prima and decided to use the no line coloring technique on it.  I really like how it turned out! I stamped the image in a pale grey ink and then colored it using Copic Markers.  

I adhered the image to a pink tag and blue background with Crafty Foam Tape to give it dimension.

Because this cute tag needed a little something more, I dressed it up a bit by tying a ribbon through the top opening. Then I secured the flower and sprigs with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium.  To embellish her dress and hair, I added a couple of teeny flowers using Adhesive Dots Micro. Finally, add the embellished tag on top of a layered tall card base.

 

Thank you so much for popping in today!  

Halloween and No Line Coloring

Good morning! How are you all doing today?  

I went away this past weekend to a charity scrap event and decided to pack lightly. 

I brought my Copic markers and Prisma pencils.  I am loving experimenting with the look of no line coloring.

This image is by Hero Arts and it was colored with Copic markers. I was trying to be a bit different with the dies....and I am thinking it was a bit of a fail. But the image was colored and at that point was NOT throwing it away! ;)

So is it my favorite card? Nope. But I am sure the person I send it to will not be critiquing it the way I do. (Or at least I hope not!) 

I added a few purple gems and some cute polka dot paper to finish off the card. 

Thank you all for stopping by!

I appreciate your visits very much!

Lawn Fawn and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog Hop!

Good morning and happy Friday to you!

I am excited to be participating in a blog hop between Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Lawn Fawn!

For my post today I used this cute set called, On the Mend.  (So popular that it is sold out at the moment! )

This set was so cute that I ended up making 3 cards with it!  The first one uses Zig Clean Color Markers, water color paper, and a bit of masking.  I used my Mini Misti to line up the sentiment and added a few sequins using Dodz-mini.  The layers were adhered using my favorite Crafty Foam Tape.

This second card is a one layer card.  I stamped the images, masked them, and layered a stencil over it.  I used a Tim Holtz ink to get those cute polka dots.  Then I removed my masks.  I Copic colored the images and attempted my first wood grain table.  ;)  I once again added sequins with Dodz-mini. 

For my third card, I stamped a bunch of the Band Aids.  I work with 9 year olds, and have learned that Band Aids make EVERYTHING better! ;)  I adhered my sentiment and colored panel with Crafty Foam Tape.  I also added sequins.  (There is definitely a pattern here I think! LOL) 

Be sure to stop by the Scrapbook Adhesives Blog and the Lawn Fawn blog for your chance to win some great prizes!  

I am off to a scrapbook weekend with my friends! I am ready for a bit of coloring therapy and girlfriend therapy! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Birdhouse!!

Good morning my friends! Here today with a bird house shaped box!

Every now and then I love to dust off the ole' Silhouette and do something "outside" the box!  (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) ;)

I cut the bird house out of kraft card stock.  I stamped it with a wood grain texture and assembled it.  I added flowers, leaves and a few sequins. I decided to finish it off with an SRM sticker!  Mine is from the Happy Birthday Sticker Sentiments, which is no longer available, but you can find a very similar sticker in the Sentiment/Congratulations sticker sheet!

Here is one last look at my bird house in all of its glittered glory! 

Have a wonderful day my friends! Thank you for stopping by!
