New DT and QKR Blog Hop!

Hi everyone, and thanks for popping by!

Just wanted to share with you that I have been accepted to the QKR Stamps DT! So excited to play with their goodies!

This week come hop with the new DT, and check out all our projects!

If you just jumped into the hop here, go back to the QKR blog and start at the beginning! If you came here from Tina then you are on the right track!!

Here is my project - a get well card destined for a boy :) Boys can be so tough to design for, but this was really easy peasy!

I used the Sick Bear digi for this one, and colored him up with my Copics. A bit of rick rack and some fabulous Momenta paper from my new fave PA-2328 and away you go!

Now head on over and visit Tracy!

Thanks for stopping by!

New DT and Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, and thanks for visiting!!

Just wanted to let you know I have joined a new design team - Eureka Stamps! Please hop along with us to meet all the new girls (and some previous ones) on the team, and see all our fabulous creations! You can start back at the Eureka Stamps blog if you just happened on us, otherwise you should have come from Tina's blog.

I am really excited about the chance to work with the Eureka line, the stamps are gorgeous, high quality stamps, in digi or real format as well. The digis print crisp and clean, and are fun to color in.

I wanted to share with you a Christmas in July post... I am making an 8x8 yearly Christmas album for the yearly photos. I am giving this to my MIL, hence why there isn't a real photo in it. The tags will all be loose so she can pick the page she wants for each year.

The digi I used as a focal on this page was Christmas Kitties. I absolutely love this one, the kitties are so cute and it was a ton of fun figuring out what colors to make them all. They are colored with Copics using lots of layers to give them texture and very little blender. To make the Siamese cat so light, I picked up a bit of E31 on my 0 marker and really blended that into the fur to make her just slightly off white.

Since I am the last one on the hop, please head back to Eureka Stamps and let us know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by, and please follow my blog for more fabulous works from Eureka!

Father's Day Blog Hop

Good morning, today at the Scrapbook Stamp Society we are having a blog hop to get you inspired for Father's Day!

If you have arrived here from Lou then you are on the right track to continue but if you have just arrived here from blogger land and would like to hop along with us then please start back at the Scrapbook Stamp Society Blog.

For today I have created a card for my Dad. He loves koi fish and gold fish and really any sort of fish. We bought him an aquarium one year for Christmas, and I think that is one of his favourite gifts. When I saw this fabulous digi Koi Fish #13 by Kim L Pipkin I knew I had to use it for my dad.

I colored the image using Copics, and added Glossy Accents to the eyes and the fins on the fish for some drame.

Thanks for hopping and now please hop on over to Nataliya!

Thanks for visiting and please pop back again soon!

Scrapbook Stamp Society Creepy Cuties Blog Hop

Welcome and thanks for hopping with Scrapbook Stamp Society this week!! Our theme is Creepy Cuties! There is a whole line of them in the store but I decided to feature another little gothie girl this week, who is both creepy and cute!!

If you have arrived here from the main blog then you are on the right track, if not, head back to the main blog and start there!

This week I used Heather Valentin's Kitty. I love her gothie look, and the kitten especially! For those who follow my blog, we held Caspie (the black kitten) for probably 20 minutes today, so making progress! For those who don't know, Caspie and Precious are feral kittens we caught and are taming, so thats lots of fun! The look this little cat is giving is one Caspie gives us when we pick her up...

This is totally a mixed-media card. I started with a red base. I painted it with about 4 colors of iridescent watercolors, two greys, white and a bit of purple. I then splattered with the purple and a goldish watercolor too. I let that dry and then added some gold Glimmer Glam for the moon, which I topped with some Stickles as well.

The girlie is colored with Copics, and I added some glossy accents to the eyes of both the girl and the cat to add some shine. Finally, I added some mushrooms cut from a Quickutz die and added black soot Stickles for the spots.

My plan for this is a birthday card or maybe just a hello card. I will wait til I use it to add the sentiment :)

Thanks for visiting me, and please keep hopping over to Bee!

Scrapbook Stamp Society Butterfly Kisses Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapbook Stamp Society's Butterfly Kisses Hop.

Today we have all kinds of fun, we would love for you to hop from blog to blog and leave a little love by the end of the week.

We do have candy for all today! Visit our store www.scrapbookstampsociety.com and look through our digital download FANTASY section to get your FREE candy. There are 5 pages and you'll have to guess which digital stamp has the golden egg. When you see the golden egg there will a download link for you.

Also remember if you link up a project using an SSS digi you bought this month, you can win a Sizzix Texture Boutique!! How exciting! I want one! Just go here and link it up!

My project this week uses three digis by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff - Ballerina Kitty 1, 2, and 3. I made a wood wall hanging for a little girls room.

I used MDF letters from Michael's, Momenta Chloe's Garden paper from the Pyramid pack (used the smaller pieces with the smaller patterns), twine. The flowers and butterflies are made out of scrap cardstock and cut using my Silhouette. Everything got a nice coating of Perfect Pearls mist to give it a bit of glam, along with the bling and the pearl as the flower centres.

Here are some close-ups of the colored images. For all three kittens I used the following Copic markers: E31, E35, E37, BV00, BV02, BV04, BV08, R32, R35, R39, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, E000, BG10, BG15, G05.

I love this Urban Farm Diva CowGirl by Sherri Baldy. I use her all the time!

I used a cowboy boot cutting file from Silhouette. It had slits cut in the paper for the stitching detail on the boots, so I decided to sew it up using my Sew Easy needle and some embroidery floss. I used a gel pen on the spurs to give it some detail, and inked the whole she-bang with Walnut stain Distress Ink. Of course, my lil girl is colored with Copics

Let's Scrap Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to your next stop in the

If you came here from Eniko's blog then you are in the right place! If you did not, Mindi Brown has the hop order to help you find your way.

I am so excited to be involved in this hop! Its my first hop, and I can't wait for all the fun! Let's Scrap is a great website with double layout sketches, card sketches, fun challenges, tutorials, and lots lots more! There are groups of gals getting together to get inspired, get busy, and get some scrapping done!! Head on over and check it out!!

Here is the sketch I am showcasing for the hop:

Here is my snazzy little card...

Caspie really wanted to be involved in the blog hop too! She's really feeling lovey dovey lately, and loved my card... I think she might want to give it to Precious?

I changed the square to a smaller circle for a few reasons. One, I wasn't feeling the square. Two, circles are representative of happiness, family, togetherness... this is why you love them so much on layouts. I thought for a Valentine's Day card a circle would be more appropriate. Three, my patterened paper looked cuter in a circle.


True to the sketch, I used a pile of bling to make the heart. I also added Stardust Stickles to the centre X and O on the pp to enhance it, and some pink glitter glue to the hearts inside the "o"s on love you.


All my supplies are random stash stuff - nothing from any big manufacturers!

Now for the fun part! Here is the RAK I am offering! It is the "home" 8x8 Vintage Findings kit from Making Memories! I stole the photo off the Making Memories website, rather than opening the package and having to get it all back in!
