Challenges Challenges!
I am trying to get a few posted before I take off on an adventure! I am going to take a Copic class all about using your Copics and Copic ink in mixed media art. So excited! I am sure I will have a lot to share after tomorrow! In the mean time here are two challenges for two of my favorite digi stamp sites!
First here is my unfinished layout for Tiddly Inks. The title is going to be Dancing Divas (the theme was Divas over at Tiddly Inks) and the photos should arrive in my mailbox tomorrow 🙂
Here is a close up of my “Sugar Plum Fairy” colored of course with Copics. She has stickles added to her wings, a Sdtardust pen on her tutu and sand colored atyou Spica pen on her crown.
Here is the next layout created for a bingo game over at Michelle Perkett Studio. This is where I yell BLACKOUT! Yep got all 9 things on my layout; lace, ribbon, glitter, pearls, 2 backing papers, brads, die cut (the circle ring the title sits on), scallops, and the mermaid is wearing flowers in her hair! Woo Hoo
Here is a close up of the image. Hard to see but the glitter is in her hair, very subtle.

One more “cuppie” for another b-day friend that I just found out about. I decided to use the fun sketch over at Taylored Expressions for this one and fulfill their challenge while I was at it.
We are spending a quiet Memorial day today. The girls swam with Dad this morning and I got groceries done. We all had hot dogs and homemade fries for lunch then dad and I hit the couch for a nap. yeah! Tonight might have to be an ice cream night 🙂
Hugs all!

Happy Sunday all. I am cranking them out 🙂 I am sure there will be a lull in the action here shortly. But go when the going is good don’t you think. Here are the last two cards from my little stack, these are both made with Taylored Expressions stamps. I just made the connection that Taylor (the owner) is a friend of a friend and not only that she lives in my town so much fun to meet others that love this crafty world! I love the stamps that Taylored Expressions is selling the rubber cling are my absolute favorite and who does not like a smiling cupcake?! There is something wrong with you if you raised your hand. “Cuppie” is too cute! Taylored Expressions has a whole crew of characters and fun product, (besides that she seems extremely nice and has a great smile!) so if you are a crafter you might just want to take a peek. I of course colored my images with my Copics and will be sharing both these cards with friends this week!
