SNSC- Creative Sketch Challenge for April 2013

Hi Friends!

Long time no talk... errrr.. write? LOL!
Well, I'm back! And today, I want to share the Creative Sketch Challenge happening over on the Sweet Nothings Stamp Co.'s blog.
Here's my project I created following the sketch which was super easy. Love when things just come together! LOL!

For my card, I used the latest digi of both Sophie and Lucky...Lovey Dovey Sophie & Lucky. they're just so darling together! I coloured them up using my Copic markers and created this cute card.
Hope y'all like it!

Please head on over to Sweet Nothings Stamp Co.'s blog for all the details.
BTW- The prize this month is a $20 gift certificate to Bluemoon Scrapbooking.com! Woohoo! Enjoy! And, Good Luck!

Shopping Bag Sophie Card

Hey Guys!
I hope everyone's having a great day so far!
Today I wanted to share a card I created with Shopping Bag Sophie. She's a new release for the month of July from Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. and is a super fun image!

I started by colouring her up with my Copics. I paper pieced some of her outfit and coloured the rest. The paper collection I used for the card was Nantucket from Pink Paisley. Super cute paper collection with bright, beachy colours.

I decided I wanted this card to be a little different from my more "clean" lined cards. I did a lot of layering on this card which is not something I am used to. But, I think I got the hang of it. I like how this card turned out!

It's kinda hard to tell, but if you look closely enough, you'll see tissue paper in the actual shopping bags. I added this cute element to mimic the tissue you get in some upscale shops :)

This is the inside of the card and this simple sentiment fit the bill (excuse the pun) just perfectly!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! have a wonderful rest of your day! Cheers!

Happiness is a Puppy

Hey Scrappy Friends!

Today I wanted to share a card I created with Rainy Day Sophie from Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. She and her puppy are just adorable and I just couldn't resist colouring them both up. Using my Copics, I coloured the image and then fussy cut around it.

The paper collection I used was the DCWV Latte Stack; just loved all the purples in that collection.

Some of the embellishments came from the Teresa Collins Fabrications and the adorable sentiment came from Cloud 9 Design- Simple Thoughts- Dog. I felt the sentiment went perfectly with Rainy Day Sophie and her pooch!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You can find this adorable image and many

just as adorable others in the shop: http://sweetnothingsstampco.com/shop.html

Altered Treat Box

Happy Friday!
Today, I wanted to share a project I created for Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. It's an altered treat box/purse. When I first saw this plain, black box, I knew it would be fun to alter and Balloon Sophie was just the right image to use. The paper collection I used is the Bazzil WayFarer collection. I fell in love with this paper once I got it in my hands. It's definitely a fun paper stack.

Here's what I created :

Like I mentioned, I used Balloon Sophie, and coloured her skin and hair using my Copics and paper pieced her dress, bow and balloons. I <3 the way she turned out! She's uber adorable!

I covered the box in various papers, added a cute pennant, twine, and some MS butterflies. I also created some paper rosettes using the same paper.

Finally, I created a flower cluster in the bottom right corner using some IAR and WOC mulberry flowers. In the background, I placed some MS Frond leaves.

I hope you enjoyed what I created this month. It was fun and I liked creating something different than the cards I have been making lately.

Thanks for stopping by!

Copic Colouring & Paper Piecing

Hey Guys!
Happy Monday! I dunno about all of you, but I'm happy the weekend is over! I worked my butt off and am happy to say I can finally relax and take it easy for the rest of the summer! Woohoo! I am taking some much deserved time off from work.

I've upload a video showcasing Tomboy Sophie and the way I Copic colour and paper piece her. This is a very relaxing kinda process for me. When I'm stressed or need to release some creative energy, I take to colouring. LOL! It works for me!

You can find Sophie and many other digi images on the Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. website. www.sweetnothingsstampco.com

Hope you all enjoy. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I'm always around ;)

Big Hugs,

Copic Coloring, Soap Bubble Sophie

Hey Everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you the way I Copic colour. Like I mention in my video, this may not be the correct or most common way, but it's my way. This is the way I colour. I've taught myself over the past few months... This is just my way. Take from it what you will.

You may learn something and you may not... :D

The digi image I'm using is from Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. She's Soap Bubble Sophie and a new release for the month of June. Super cute and fun to colour.
