Hello Sunshine - CC Designs Stamp

I'm still practicing using my Copic markers and I'm really enjoying using them. This adorable image is a CC Designs Sugarplums rubber stamp set called "Take a Seat" from All That Scraps the set can be found -HERE. This set has 12 images, 6 characters (5 girls 1 boy) and 6 seats (wagon, bench, chair etc.)
I've wanted to get a few CC Designs stamps from All That Scraps and thought this would be a great set to start with. The designer paper is from DCWV "The Green Stack" mat stack.

Copic colors used:

Hair: E31, E13, E 29

Skin: E50, E01, E35 cheeks R20

Shirt: C1 and Colorless blender

Shoes: R20, R22

Roses: R20, R22, R29

Leaves & Grass: G21, G28

Wall: E50, E13, E33

Shadow: C1

I decided to do a bit of paper piecing with this little girl's clothes, and I really liked this image above from the mat stack and though that would look so cute as her jacket.  So I decided to scan the image on my computer and make it smaller so the floral images would fit on her jacket, I like how it turned out. The pants are paper pieced too but not resized as the jacket was.

For the "Hello Sunshine" phrase I used a clear stamp with Versafine black ink.  This phrase is from My Craft Spot, Butterfly Kisses stamp set. I also used crinkle ribbon, Sunshine Yellow and Maraschino bakers twine from My Craft Spot.  The charm I've had in my stash for a long time.

Road Trip ... Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Oh the amazing places we go and people we meet on our road trip journeys... I love to go... but then it's nice to get home to my own bed.

This weeks Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #25
Road Trip
Create a card or project incorporating a vacation or travel theme

My card celebrates "Places to go... and People to see"

I used Zoobaloo cartridge for the trees on page 72 of the handbook. Locker Talk was used for the fabulous car on page 37 of the handbook, I only used the car and shadow feature. I used a 3/4 " circle punch for the wheels then added a flower brad.


The road was made from a piece of black cardstock then I used a white gel pen for the lines. My printer was used for the saying "Places to go... People to see" tied on using ribbon and added a sunshine charm. I also use a tan ink all over my paper pieces.

Head over to Fantabulous Cricut to see what the design team has created for their "Road Trip" project. -HERE

Fun in the Sun -Challenge #17 at Meljen's

Thursday's are a great day for a new challenge along with new images at Meljen's. Melissa has created 5 new images that are so fun for summer days.

The challenge is to create an "easel card," this is my first time creating this fun card design, I got instructions for my easel card at Splitcoast Stampers -HERE.
I used the new "Brook at the Beach" digital stamp, I love this adorable care free image.

I used my copic markers to color the image, and George and Basic Shapes cricut cartridge to cut out the oval shapes. Text is printed from my computer.

Come see more easel cards and new release images -HERE

Songbird -Note of Thanks

I love song birds and any cute birdie images, and Designed 2 Delight has an adorable digital stamp that is so sweet.

I colored using my copic markers and pulled out my old scalloped scissors for the scalloped edges. I love this background paper, it's from DCWV spring stack, and the little musical note charm I had in my stash was just the prefect embellishment to add to this card.

Flip Flops Summer Beach Card

I hope you are having fun in the sun... at Fantabulous Cricut it's time for "Challenge Me Monday"

Challenge #15

Summer Time at the Beach:

Create a project for summer using something you would find at the beach.

I would find flip flops, sunshine, and waves at the beach... a place to "Escape"
I used my new "Life is a Beach" cricut cartridge. The flip flops are on page 64 of the handbook and were cut at 3 3/4", the wave is on page 45 I used the border feature cut at 1 1/2", the escape word is on page 38 I used the Title Words feature cutting it out twice, then used scissors to cut off the leaf.

The hanging charms are a fun feature on the cartridge, I cut the charms at 1 1/4" the sun is on page 44, flip flops page 64, the wave on page 45. Then on page 70 is the solid background charm using the shift key, I placed behind each charm.
Come join us at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog for this weeks "Summer Time at the Beach" theme. You can see the other wonderful project made by each of the Fantabulous Design Team projects -HERE.

I'd Pick You

If friend were flowers I'd pick all my followers, what a lovely garden I would have, thank you for coming to visit my blog.... that makes me so happy.

This adorable bear image is a digital stamp fro Designed 2 Delight.

Using a photoshop program I was able to duplicate the image, erase the bear on one image leaving only the large flower, then duplicated the flower a few more times to place around the bears feet. Then using the text feature I added the well known quote "If friends were flowers I'd pick you".
Copic markers were used to color this image.
I added ribbon and charms along with a tiny prima flower for embellishments.
