August release is finally here and we are celebrating with some beloved icons of the past!
Norma Jeane Mortenson, later to be a classic blonde bombshell named Marilyn Monroe!
This month we have a wonderful Quilted Card Mat Die, a Miss You Word Die, a retro Circles Stencils and some fun charms!
So then I got to play!!! I LOVE ❤️❤️❤️ this month’s release and had so much fun coloring all three of the iconic figures. Here is today’s star, I decided to color her no-line with my Copics:
Skin – RRR000, R01, E11, E93, E04, R81 Hair – Y00, Y21, Y26, Y28 Dress – C1, C3, C5, Colorless Blender** Notice the shoes, when stamped they are pink because that is what I used for no-line on this image but decided instead of turning them back to black to go sparkle instead. This is simply Nuvo over the top.
And close up.
I created a large shaker window in some of the beautiful silver yardstick from a. Grab and Go box then added lots of fun elements from Stamp AnnieThing as well. The black you see are crystals that are from the newest Grab and Go! I like how they stay put in the shaker and help break up the larger white space.
Here is the full card, I had to give you an angle on this because the silver is so reflective I could not keep me and the camera out of the shot otherwise!
Thank you so much fro stopping by today, check out the other designers and remember we have to more days of amazing SAT inspiration to come.
Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Hi friends and family! Bringing you a little D2BA inspiration to start your week off right.
Were you kids or young people in your life ever into Vegi tales? I look at these adorable Manatees stamps and in my head I am humming the Manatees song Larry Boy used to sing “You are my manatees, manatees – you are the one for me one for me…” Yep I am that silly on occasion! But these stamps are too dang cute!
Hi friends and family! Here to share a little SAT inspiration for your mid-week entertainment. I decided to take another run at this month’s release. (With all the beautiful new Stamp Anniething goodies out thee it is hard to remember what actually came out at the start of the month!) Back to Egypt we go!
I love all three of the new images this month as well as the fab-U-lous Grab and Go Box so I know I will be coloring up a lot of these images multiple times. One of the ways I entertain myself when coloring multiple times is to switch up the colors. If I am trying to improve technique or skills I stay exactly the same for multiple attempts at an image, but when I am coloring just to color or play I love pushing to find new colors combos for an image.
With my first round of coloring the Egyptian themed stamps this month I kept the color schemes very traditional looking up photo references on line so in coming back to the images I decided to start with the Cleopatra image and go all blues to see what I would get. Even her kitty made a drastic change from a black cat originally to a barely there blue kitty.
It is time for another amazing Grab and Go! Themed box! It's a Little Strange is anything BUT Strange, it's Awesome!

Take a peek at the projects the DT has made using this adorable themed box!!
I have two cards to share today! Here is a peek at the first. I used LOTS of supplies from the box so here is a rundown of the process.
First was creating a background with one of the stencils in the box, I used 2 Copic and my Copic Air Brush to get the look.
Next stamping and coloring an image here is the colors I used on this one!
I do not know the characters very well, but waffles? OH YEAH!! How fun is this and the sentiments throughout the entire box are SO FUN!!
Then off to raid the Grab and Go box to pull it all together. I used a card base, all three kinds of adhesive, (glue not pictured), the Cardstock pack wait till you see the burlap and the cork, SWOON, and the adorable string of lights.
Other than my Copics it is all in the box!
Card #2 required a little research on my part on the characters and on Stranger Things and boy am I missing out! Now I want to watch all three seasons!
I created the background by airbrushing a full sheet of Yupo (that you can get at SAT) then using the second new stencil in the box and Copic Colorless Blender solution to lift the pattern this time.
Coloring is next I tried to get close to the character at least from shots that I could find on-line. But I know this little guy could go completely different for fun as well!
Starting to build it is next I started with the card base, the cork from the cardstock collection and my inky background then…
I added a square of burlap, I pulled the backing off and frayed the edges for this one, some individual lights that I cut off the string and enamel dots for color and used one of the FAB sentiments and colored a burlap like texture over it with my Copics and my little guy, upside down of course! I used all three adhesives for this card again!
Woosh if you made it this far thank you! Make sure to check out the other designers with their amazing creations!
