Hip Hop Blog Hoppin'

Hallo,
I got this done in the nick of time last night - got it posted to Splitcoast but didn't get time to blog it :)
This was done for this weeks 'So you think you can stamp' challenge in the My Favorite Things forum over at Splitcoast - the challenge was Hip Hop pop - hoppin poppin colors for me and of course she is Blog hoppin on the couch after work just like yours truely... :)
All stamps on the card are from MFT.
The backround is done with the Burnished Backround technique from Technique Junkies and I also used a little paper piecing on the skirt.



I burnished the backround with Adarondak inks - carmel, stream and current.
The focal image is colored with copics and a little spica glitter pen.
I made a couple faux layers with a my black copic and edged the label die from Spellbinders with gold mettalic pen.
All for today - I have a few chores to do this morning and then I am going to try and get another challenge done for this months Guest Designer challenge - also found in the MFT forum on Splitcoast.
All for today - Take Care

My Favorite Waltz

Hallo,
I accually managed to get one of these done :) !!!! This was done for the "So you think you can stamp" challenge for week 3 over at the My Favorite Things forum on Splitcoaststampers. ANd its not even last minute - its 3 pm and I have until midnight ...... :)
This is made on mattboard to fit a 5X7 frame.
All stamps are from MFT. I did some paper peicing but kinda in reverse as I stamped/colored the girls and paper pieced them onto the DP instead of the usual other way around.
I colored them with copics and then went over them with spica glitter pens to make their dresses a little sparkly for their night out on the town dancing......


I think you may be able to see the glittery effect on the last 2 photos the best.

We had such beautifully cool weather the last couple days - finally getting a bit of yard work caught up on. I have been pulling weeds and digging up whats left of my iris plants.
I love iris but they just don't grow well here in our Florida heat and they hardly bloom at all. My Mom is coming down for a visit in a couple weeks so ( they are driving down) I decided to give what was left to her because I know they will do great back home in Nebraska.
I am headed back to my craft room for a bit so all for today.

Choose Thoughts - gold

Hallo,
Another short post today - when I went to pull out paper for yesterdays journal this goldish paper jumped out and said 'me too, me too' so I did 2 journals instead of one. I have one more craft fair in Novemeber and I need to use up some of my stash anyway.....
The butterfly is from Inkadinkado and colored with copics and the phrase is from Cherry Pie stamps.
Have a great weekend!!!!!

Choose Thoughts - teal

Hallo,
This may look familiar as I did a plaque with this same theme and colors. Last saturday at the craft fair soemone asked me to do the plaque as a journal so here it is.
The butterfly is from Inkadinkado and colored with copics, and the phrase is from Chery Pie stamps.
I trimmed it up with some purple paper edged with a punch.
The little crown is accually clear but in the close up it showed up orangeish - and it took me almost 10 minutes to figure out why - I was wearing an orange shirt when I took the photo.
Short on wordage tonight - :) Short for tomorrow too and then we will see ya on Monday.

Memory book and gift box - GIRL

Hallo,
Preposting for ya today as I will be at work and KNOW I am not getting up 15 minutes early to post for ya like I did this am. We had one crazy busy day today - kicked my toush!!!!
This is a chipboard book from Tim Holtz and a cigar box - the chipboard book fits perfectly into the box.
I decorated this one girly style.
The onesie is from Gina K's WEE TEE'S set. I also made up a bunch of onesies with different designs on so whomever ends up with this combo can use to decorate the pages with onesies that 'fit' the pictures better.

All for tonight - my bed be singing to me softly....
