Hey baby...what's your sign?

LOL...what a cheezy line huh?  Well, my husband got a kick out of it.  Which is good because it was his birthday card...my little crab!  LOL!  I love this set from Mama Elephant.  It has all of the zodiac signs called Cosmic Stars.  I also used the coordinating set Starry Night which has the sentiments.  I used Versamark ink to stamp the crab background.  The t-shirt and tag dies are by My Favorite Things.  The tag was embossed with a folder from The Paper Studio.  And the little crab was colored with Copics.

Come join us this week at 613 Avenue Create, we're Anything Goes but this weeks twist is Shabby Chic.  We have 3 sponsors this week which means 3 chances to win!  Even if you just stop by to check out our amazing Design Team samples.  Hope to see you there!

Hope Everything's Ducky!

It's time for my DT project for 613 Avenue Create.

On July 20th 1969 astronaut Neil Armstrong becomes the first person to walk on the moon.  Click the link to learn more about this historic event.

At 613 Avenue Create we're always Anything Goes 
but this weeks optional twist is to 
use a moon and/or stars in your creation.

One of our sponsors this week is 

Drawn with Character

I've used the Dancing in the Rain Duck

I had this perfect sentiment by Verve Stamps.  My stars for the optional twist are embossed on the yellow cardstock and inked slightly with black ink.  Dies are from MFT and Impression Obsession.  Colored with Copics and chalks, paper pieced umbrella and boots.  Glossy accents were added to the raindrops and puddle.

We have 3 great sponsors this week so come join us at 613 Avenue Create and you can also check out the gorgeous DT samples!

Summer Fun

Hi all,

I'm running a little late with my Kitty Bee Designs project!  This was one of those projects that I had a great idea to make a Christmas ornament with sand, shells and sea glass but that just didn't happen. Instead I have a card for our Summer Fun theme for the Aloha Friday Challenge.  You can find Kitty Bee images on Etsy HERE.

The sea turtle was printed on watercolor paper where I used the saran wrap technique.  Shading was added with Copics.  The sentiment stamp is by My Favorite Things.

I put him on an action wobble and bent his fins upward so it looks like he's swimming!

I like the way it turned out even though it wasn't my original vision.  Stop by the Aloha Friday Challenge to see what the other DT ladies have created.  Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathi

Kitty Bee love note

I'm here today with my DT spotlight for Kitty Bee Designs.  There is still another week to enter the current challenge.  This time I used the Best Friends Bun image. My husband (and best friend) reminded me recently that I haven't left him any love notes in his lunch bag or wallet in a long time.  Poor thing must feel neglected LOL!  So his love note measures 2.5" x 3" and colored with Copics.  I used a Spellbinder banner die, Mama Elephant confetti die for the hearts and the sentiment is by Verve Stamps. Paper is from a 6x6 American Crafts pad.  I added a little clear WOS to the heart too, just because it needed just a little sparkle LOL!  Hope you like this snuggly pair!

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,

HB2U - CYOC challenge

Hi again,

I forgot to add my second card for this weeks Create Your Own Challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  Our challenges are Anything Goes but the optional twist is to use this new chart:

Smile Big!

Happy 4th of July to all of my friends in the US!  I hope everyone had a safe and fun filled day.  I found a 4th of July scrapbook page that I never posted and it goes perfectly with our optional twist this week at 613 Avenue Create.  The twist is to use our newest Create Your Own Challenge chart.  

I'm using the American flag as a COLOR challenge.

I love how my son was laughing!

Hope you can join us this week for our Anything Goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create.

Hugs,

Kathi
