The Golden Tooth

Just a fun quick share.... Can you see the little guy's golden tooth?
I wanted to let you know that today is the second day of SRM and Bo Bunny's Bunny Hop  HERE are the details.  If you didn't hop on Thursday you might want to consider it because there is chance to win a SRM Stickers Prize Package. Also they will be choosing a random Hopper from each day and a card sketch challenge with another chance to receive a prize package. I hope you have a wonderful weekend !
Hugs, Kathy

The bird stamp is from the Paper Source, background and branch is from Hero Arts and Bo Bunny Paper.

Welcome to SRM's Bunny Hop with Bo Bunny

I'm so happy you are here and I bet you just came from the oh so talented Amy's BLOG . Just in case you missed the details for the hop it's pretty straight forward. What's  required is to hop to each blog and return to SRM Stickers BLOG and leave a  comment that you have completed the Hop. A random commenter will be chosen from each day's hop participants to receive a SRM Stickers Prize Package!

 I really LOVED working with my Bo Bunny papers, gems, buttons, ribbon and chipboard! Look at this yummy chipboard flower

Did you know you can color  chipboard? I added some color with Copic markers and many white dots with a gel pen. I also traced the outlines with a black pen so the colors would pop more.

I loved this paper so I decided to cut out the brown scallop shape and add pop dots to frame the flower and give the card lots of dimension. Did you know these big yummy gems are from Bo Bunny too.

Here is the sketch challenge for the hop and my interpretation .



All the sentiments on these cards are from same sheet of SRM stickers and they can be purchased  HERE . Notice this chipboard.....it looks just like a firecracker to me so I thought it was perfect to combine with the July 4th stickers. All the words in the background are from the same sticker sheet.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you have found some inspiration. YOUR NEXT STOP WILL BE the talented (and digital designer)  JEN MARTAKIS .

 (this photo is uploaded from Flickr)

 and this photo is uploaded from my Mac. I'm trying to decided if I should skip the extra step of uploading my photos from Flickr (a photo sharing web site)  and if the extra clarity is worth it. Can you tell the difference?

TELL ME WHAT YOU PREFER AND I WILL DRAW A RANDOM WINNER TO WIN THIS

Now for the card details. This yummy paper is from a DigiKit from Betsy Tuma and you can purchase it HERE.

Here is one more card to see compare before you leave your comment. I will pick a winner next Tuesday.

This photo is from Flickr


and this one if from my Mac...what do you think???

This DigiKit is from Betsy Tuma again available HERE and below is another card from the same DigiKit.

I am anxious to hear what you have to say. Have a great day! Hugs,Kathy

Just to explain

Hello Again, I have to pop in real quick to explain how I created these hot air balloons. I used the hot air balloon stamp from The Greeting Farm. Here  is there store but, I couldn't find the stamp and I hope it's still available. I made a card with it last summer and it's one of my favorites stamps. Since my scanner isn't working I used a projector to enlarge it in three different sizes.

I chose my colors according to the refills that I had available for my Copic markers. When coloring large areas it's a good idea to think ahead so you don't run out of ink. I have had this happen too many times. I added the faux stitching with a black gel pen and used back embroidery floss for the strings. I used to love to eat "Chicken in a Basket" crackers they are so yummy and I think of that when I look at the chicken....except mine have white dots. I was so scared to go up in this balloon and it was incredibly quiet being so high in the sky...yes I am very afraid of heights and having the fire above your head didn't help!! Did you know before you take one of these rides you lay down in the basket on top of everyone then the balloon pops up once it fills with the hot air from the torch. It was a great experiece but, to dangerous for me to do again. Have a great week. Hugs,Kathy
If you want to vote the links are below. Thanks sooooo mucho if you have :)

Hugs,Kathy

SRM's First Blog Hop and some PRIZES!!

Hello Friends,
Welcome to  SRM stickers Spring Break Blog Hop !! You still have time to complete the hop and have a chance to win some SRM sticker packages!!  To start, please visit   SRM Stickers BLOG for today’s blog order. I was excited to create a project using SRM Mother's Day stickers. I love using these stickers because I find  that I have a starting point and I save time as well. For these two cards I used these stickers  HERE.

                                            

and the inside

                                          

When I read the sentiment  from my sticker sheet that said,"The mother is the heart of the home" I knew exactly what I wanted to make.

                       
 Here is the sentiment that I drew my inspiration from. I put it on the inside in here...

If you want more details on how to make the house card you can find it in this post HERE.


Your next stop  Carole's blog. I love her her blog and her creations. Don’t forget to return to SRM to leave a comment. Random winners will be chosen from each day’s comments. 
Have fun and thanks for stopping by. Happy Weekend! Hugs, Kathy
