Oh Say Can You See Blog Hop




'I'I'm so glad you could join the Scrapbook News and Review Blog Hop today. If you came from Jennifer's blog then you are on the right track! If you didn't you may want to hop on over to SNR Cardiverse and start from the beginning. So, this is my contribution to the blog hop today. My red, white, and blue card features an adorable stamp from Sugar Nellie. I just received in one of their grab bags and fell in love with it. What a sweet image. I colored the little girl with copic markers. To make the tricycle seem more realistic, I colored it with my red smooch paints to give it a metallic sheen. It is a little hard to tell in the picture, so I included a close up of the tricycle. I also used the white smooch on the handlebar grips and the little square in the middle of the handlebars. I think it really added a more realistic look to the triclycle. The smooch
paints are extremely easy to use on stamped images since the brush is so fine, you can get in all the small areas and not have to worry about going out of the lines. I added a little of the copic spica glitter pens to the flowers on her shirt and the patches on her jeans to give her just a little more bling. Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you have had a lot of fun checking out all the great red, white, and blue projects, but now it is time for you to hop on over and visit Cindy's Blog and see what she has in store for you next.

Black and Yellow

It's not just for taxi cabs and bumblees. The current challenge on Sugar Sweet Paper Treats is to create a project using yellow and black as the primary colors. I love this new little gorguss girl with the skull in her hair, she reminds me of Ainsleigh wearing her skull and crossbones headband all the time. I made another gate fold card out of yellow cardstock and covered it with

black and white paper. Then I cut a scallop circle nestie out of the same yellow cardstock and added a plain circle out of the whitewash core'dinations with a yellow core. I decided to give the gorguss girl a yellow dress and black and white tights. I was playing around the other day and colored a girl with pink hair to test my colored pencils. I started looking at it and realized I like the way it looked, so I gave this little girl hot pink hair. Finally, I cut a little bracket shape with my cricut and stamped a sentiment.

A couple more cards

I finally had a chance to catch up on some cards for my cuttlebug card exchange group. This is a yahoo group where we have a different mingle closing each week. You make one card, you are assigned a partner to send your card to, and your partner will send a card to you. It's a lot of fun and easy! This first card was made for the pastels only swap. I used one of my new gorguss girls stamps from sugar nellie and colored her with copics. The background paper is from Close to My Heart. The sentiment Hey Chick is from Cornish Heritage Farms.
This second card is for our April sketch challenge. I got some new Magnolia stamps from magnolia-licious (www.magnoliastamps.us) and I just had to play with them. This one is cherry tilda you can't really see in the photo but she has little cherries on her dress. Once again I colored her with copics. The cardstock is core'dinations and the blue paper is from Close to My Heart. The cherries on her dress were accented with the copic glitter pens even though it's hard to see in the picture. The cherry ribbon I found in the $1 section at Michaels and I just had to have it.

Another Scrappy Frog Challenge

Ok, I thought this Scrappy Frog's challenge was going to be hard.  The only instruction was to made a project  inspired by the Making Memories Slice.  Well, I don't have one so I couldn't actually use one to make the project.  I thought I would just use the colors of the slice itself.  It's a pretty turquoise color with a little black and green on it.  I can work with that I thought, so I colored one of the new stamps I got from FunkyKits/Sugar Nellies with a few of my turquoise, green, and black copic markers.  I cut it into a square, rounded the corners and dabbed on some distress ink.  Then I remembered that I do have some Making Memories 
ournaling notebooks that I could use to mat the stamped image, but what paper do I have to go with it?  Well, as luck would have it, I had an entire noteworthy kit still unopened (can you believe I bought some paper and hadn't used it yet?) that matched the journaling notebook perfectly, so above is what I came up with.  All the products used except for the stamped images and the inks are from Making Memories.  If you would like to win a slice apron, hop on over to www.scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.com and enter your creation.
