Pretty in pink

 Hallo,
   It is so beautiful and cool out this morning, have all the windows and doors open to the fresh air and Lovin it!!! Too bad I couldn't get myself out of bed in time to take the pups for a walk.....I have been working the 11 am to 7 pm shift this week and getting up every day at 6 to walk the pups and run a ton of errands - normal stuff plus a bit of hurricane prepare. Then last night I didn't get off till about 945 pm and I guess I was a bit tired. With any kind of luck the cool weather will hang out a day or two!!!
   Irma seems to have turned away from us here in NW Florida panhandle - lets hope she keeps going east  and doesn't decide to curve back into the gulf!!! And hopefully weakens a lot more before south Florida has to deal with her full force!!!!
   Well I have another baby box to show you - with memory book and card. This one is for a co-worker who is due in a couple weeks. Her colors for baby stuff are pin and gold.  I used a cigar box for the box and a chipboard blank book for the memory book. All the images are done on cryogen white paper from Paper Temptress and colored with polychrome pencils. The base pink card stock on the card is also from Paper Temptress - not sure of the name - will have to look that one up.
  All the other scrapbook/patterned paper was from deep in my stash of pretty papers.....(ahem/hoarder/denial....)
    All for today - gotta head off to work here soon.
       Take Care!!!!

Bumble bees baby

 
 
 
 
 
 

 Hallo,
   A short stop here today - the pups took me for a walk after work and I was going to do yard work but it looks like it is starting to rain so I guess that means housework instead (pout - hate housework...)
  I finished off this baby box  for a customer from my Etsy shop this weekend. The Momma to be has chosen bees and sunflowers to decorate her baby room with yellows and blacks for colors.
   The flowers with the bees is a stamp set from Flourishes and the Momma with baby is a digi from Conie Fong.
   I colored them all with prismacolor and polychrome pencils and then decorated an old cigar box. I made a chipboard book to match that is 5by7 inches and a matching card too. I used cryogen white for the images and the black layer is a sweet textured cardstock - both from Paper Temptress.
  Now I need to get it boxed up to send tomorrow and try to find some house cleaning energy....
     Take Care

Layered Joy

 Hallo,
   Its time for another challenge over at Sweet Pea Stampers and this time the challenge is - 'lots of layers'.
  I used a Sweet Pea stamp by Conie Fong called 'Joy to the world' and colored him with prismacolor pencils.
  I had some sticker ornaments that I used for a layer or 2 and a chipboard snowflake (I just noticed that my snowflake has lost a rhinestone.....sigh)
   Isn't he just the cutest little penguin!!! I am slowly building up my stash of Christmas cards too  :)
                Have a great weekend!!!!

Sweet Pea Stampers - Birthday challenge

Hallo,
  Welcome to another challenge from the Sweet Pea Stampers - this time our theme is Birthday. I kinda stretched the theme a bit here and made a BIRTH day gift :)
  I love to alter cigar boxes (and other boxes that catch my eye...)
  This one is a gift box that holds a matching memory book and I also include a card for giving.
  The main image is from Sweet Pea Stamps by Conie Fong and is called 'Mother and baby girl'.
  I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut her out with Spellbinders dies. I added some ribbons and some dots with a pink fabric paint by tulip, and the edges were done with a gold metallic pen from Krylon.
   I cover the outside of the box, inside lid and the memory book with matching papers and lined the bottom of the box with felt.
   All for today - Have a great weekend!!!
