Yippee-Skippee Monster

It's a bright and beautiful day today - but it's freeeeeezing outside!  So it's a good day to craft - even though it's subsequently freezing in my basement stamp room too!  But I found some challenges to complete - so it's all good.

I chose the colours from the Dynamic Duos and the sketch is from Mojo Monday.  I hadn't used these adorable little monsters from Monstermaniacs yet - so it was time to put them together and add some ink.  I hadn't coloured in a stamp in AGES - so it was good to pull out a blended pen to colour too!  For his little antenna I coloured two basic pearls with a black sharpie.

Now off to another project…..hope you are keeping warm and busy today  Thanks for stopping by!

Rainbow Drips

Just a quick post this morning before I fly off to school.....it's a busy week with building report cards and parent-teacher interviews, plus getting packed for next week's trip.  But, I wanted to share with you a couple of the cards I did on Saturday at Tamye's place at the Diva's Breakfast.

These two are part of an 8 card set using only the Gorgeous Grundge set and the Yippee Skippee word set - part of a product included class which I'm hoping to offer before Christmas.  I love the drips made by the grudge stamp, and especially the little drops with the candy dots!

Stay tuned for details about the class - gotta run to school...
Have a fantastic day!

Pistachio Coral Happiness

It's a colour day at Sunday Stamps today and it's like we're trying to have one last taste of summer colours before covering up with warm fall hues.  Our colours today are  Mint/Aqua, Coral and Gold and I've used Pistacchio Pudding, Calypso Coral and our new Gold Foil Sheet Paper.  I love this gold paper because it's rich but not too blingy.

The card I've created for this challenge was created early enough to use for my one of my techniques this month.  I've used the Secret Garden stamp set and did the Versa Mark Resist technique.  The greeting is from Yippee Skippee.  

I had a bit of a mistake when I was creating this - I put the edglit die down on my finished paper - thinking to have a white scalloped edge.  Instead it cut the edge off and I ended up with a different "scalloped" edge.....That's why the gold Finishing Touch got added - and it worked perfectly.  I love when your mistakes work out.

I hope you have a wonderfully creative Sunday - we are heading to War Horse tonight and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yippee Skippee Monkeys!

Yipee Skippee it's a new sketch for Sunday Stamps brought to you by Steph!  I'm lovin' these little animals from the Zoo Babies stamp set!  They're just so  cute....so I thought this little monkey would be pleased to help someone celebrate something they're happy about!

Here is the sketch from Steph - you really need to check out the other creations by the rest of the Design Team!  They're awesome - as usual!  Remember to link your project back to the Sunday Stamps  Challenge Blog so we can all take a peek at your creation!

I still have room at my Technique Class this week if you're wanting to stop by to create two cards using the Versa Mark Resist and Joseph's Coat Techniques.

I'm happy we had a fantastic first week at school and I'm gearing up for the next full week.....ooops - actually it's another short week for me because I head to Banff with Greg Thursday afternoon.  LOL!

Hope you have something to look forward to this week!

Thanks for stopping by!
