Cut It Up! Breast Cancer Awareness - Think Pink

Happy Friday!!!

Well, I have now officially posted on all three of my teams

after my little "hiatus".

The new challenge over at Cut It Up

is all about Breast Cancer Awareness.

We were lucky enough to have some digital images

from our sponsor

Digital Delights

to use for our projects.

The Prize for this Challenge will

be a $5 Store Credit!!!

My Project:

I chose to use the ribbon image from our sponsor,

I love the simplicity of this one!

It's direct and to the point too :)

I used my Bic Mark It's to color the ribbon

and used some glitter glue to fill in the letters in

"Fight Back".

(Although you can't really tell in the pic)

My papers are from Recollections and the

Flowers, Pearls and Rhinestones were just in my stash.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up this week.

Happy Weekend!!!  

Today over at HIMCR we are starting a much needed challenge:

SPRING COLORS!!!

I don't know about you, but I am ready for flowers and sunshine!

So for my card, I was able to work with the Bitty Bugs Digi Image from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps.  Super cute bitty bugs!!!  I colored them with my Bic Mark It's and fussy cut them out - does anybody else hold their breath while fussy cutting?

I cut my circles using the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge.

All my pattern paper comes from Heidi Grace "Sunshowers" pack and 

my sentiment is from a Studio G stamp set.

I hope you are able to join us this week for our Spring Colors Challenge over at HIMCR!

I was so lucky to be able to work with this cute stamp from Alota Rubber Stamps!  I used my Bic Mark It's to color it in and my paper all came from a Cloud 9 Design "Fiesta Gloss".  I used a couple of flowers from Michael's and used a Studio G stamp for the sentiment.  I am so anxious for Spring and this card reflects that, it's so bright and sunny.  I hope you will join us over at HIMCR this week for our challenge of What's Buggin' You?

HIMCR Challenge #136 - Super Scraps Saturday

HIMCR Challenge #136

Super Scraps Saturday

Sponsor:

2 Cute Ink

My Project:

Welcome to Super Scraps Saturday!!! Today we have the chance to show off some of the CUTE Digital Stamps from 2 Cute Ink and I was so excited to work with this Ladybug of Love!!! I am going to give this little card to my niece for Valentine's.  I used my Bic Mark-It's to color the image.  I framed it with the awesome heart frame from the Elegant Edges Cartridge and embellished it with a ruby red flower from Michael's. My paper was from my scrap stash, so I don't have the details, but I am pretty sure it was from a paper pack I bought a few years ago at Hobby Lobby.  I also cut some small hearts out and added them on the white cardstock with my Zig Glue Pen.  I did pop up the framed image on some foam tape so that there is a bit more dimension with the card.  I hope you will join us for our challenge and use up some of those scraps that have been lying around!

HIMCR Challenge #123:

Super Scraps Saturday 

 

Sponsor:

Scrapbook Stamp Society 

 

 

 

My Project: 

Okay, so here is another go at coloring.  I used my Bic Mark-It's again and tried a bit of shading but mostly just did some basic filling in.  I am so grateful to The Scrapbook Stamp Society for providing me with this adorable image to work with.  All of the Design Team got to play around with a few of their digi stamps, so make sure you check out all their blogs to see what they came up with - all the projects are amazing!!!  As well as the digi stamps, it's also Super Scraps Saturday - and I love being "forced" to look through my scraps and use them because I have some great options! I first went through my scraps to decide which colors I wanted to use, and I love the non-traditional pink/green combo for Christmas, so I went with some fun glittery pink paper and green/white glitter dotted paper and some super cute pink/green polka dot.  Then I was able to figure out how I wanted to color my image - and that's how "My Pink Snow Bunny" was created.  I'm still trying to get the hang of coloring, but I think she turned out pretty cute considering I'm a work in progress.  Thanks for checking in and I hope you are able to dig deep in your scrap stash and join us this week for our Super Scraps Saturday over at HIMCR!!! I will also be linking this up over at Little Scrap Pieces for the Fun Friday Linky Party.

HIMCR - Color It Challenge #120

Challenge #120

Color It!

Use markers, Copics, colored pencils, chalks, crayons, whatever your choice on your projects

 

Up For Grabs:

A Set of 3 Copic Markers

(Fusions Set)

 

My Project:

 

WARNING!!! This is only the 2nd time I have used my Bic Mark-It's so PLEASE go easy on me :)

I am trying to venture into the world of coloring, and because I am so new, there is no way that I can justify buying any Copics, but I could swallow the price of the Bic Mark-It Set from Amazon.  I also bought a colorless blender from Michael's to see if it could possibly help me and my beginner technique.  The digi image I found by doing a search for "Free Digi Images Cupcake" on Google.  I used my new cartridge Art Philosophy to cut out my square scalloped card, scalloped mat, and my sentiment circle.  My background paper is from My Mind's Eye Twinkle Twinkle Little Girl mat stack and my purple glitter mat is from ColorBok (Wal-Mart).  I used CardzTV "Happy Days" stamp set for my sentiment "Happy Birthday".  I rounded the corners of both of my glitter mat and cupcake image with The Paper Studio's small corner rounder and popped up both mats with foam tape.  I hope you are able to join us this week over at HIMCR for our Color It! Challenge, and please check out the design team's projects, they are all amazing!!!  I am going to be linking this card up over at Die Cuttin' Divas and Little Scrap Pieces as well.

A Fall Pumpkin

So, I decided that I wanted to give "coloring" another go, but this time, instead of colored pencils, I bought a 36 marker set of Bic Mark-It's from Amazon. Let's just say, I had much more success than the first time! I found a free download of a basic pumpkin digi stamp online and figured it would be a good image to practice with. It took me a few times, but I was able to finally get it right. I also bought the Chromatix colorless blender from Michael's. The Bic colors I used were Summer Melon, Adobe Orange, and Harvest Orange. The stem was colored with Key Lime and Meadow Green. I have to admit, I do like coloring and will probably find a few more free "basic" images to continue to practice with. The rest of my 5x5 card was put together with some patterned paper from Hobby Lobby's All Seasons II 12x12 paper pack and some taupe cardstock that I embossed with the Darice embossing folder "Fall Leaf Background" from JoAnn's. "Fall" comes from Create-A-Critter 2 and I cut it out at 1". It's a very basic but festive card, I like how it turned out. I will be entering this into a couple challenges: Die Cuttin' Divas "Autumn Colors" and My Craft Spot "Pinterest Inspired".
