New find! Kenny K digi's!

***
This is totally my style! I personally think this sassy lady looks like my friend Jen but she didn't agree, either way she's fun. I did this one for their first Challenge, Pastels.

I love this Piggy Tales paper and just thought the colors were fun. These girls are so much fun to color.

Notice how her jeans actually have a denim texture? Thats my little secret ;)

I {heart} Copics Friday Challenge #11

This week's challenge over at I {heart} Copics is to use 2 patterned papers and 3 embellishments colored with Copics. I thought the paper I used was already pretty busy so I didn't want to clutter the card with 3 or more colored flowers. I colored pearls for her buttons, colored the ribbon stripes behind "beautiful" and the Color Me Crazy flowers with my copics to coordinate with the card.

I did some layering for a 3D affect on the umbrella. Of course it's a Miss Anya Stamp. Never used this one before so I couldn't resist.

Tonight I'm working on a basic scrapbook for my brother in Canada. Not sure any of it will be picture worthy when I'm done though. It's WAY basic, black pages and photo corners. Yup, thats it.

I {heart} Copics Friday Challenge

I {heart} Papers just released more Chicken Girl Design Digis! Here's one of my favorites! I played around with a rainbow colored Giraffe but I just wasn't a fan with how it turned out. Fun sketch too. Simple put inspired something new with the ribbon. I'm in love with this ribbon! Faux suede. Feels luxurious! Very user friendly! I might just have to sneak some more of that in my next order too with my refills and schtuff.

BTW I made the look of clouds by using my colorless blender. Just kept coloring in circles until I reached the effect I liked. Let it dry between circles for more demension.

So Similar But So Different.

I played around with a sketch I had found at the Mojo Monday but I can't remember what week it was. I had 2 cards to get done so I used the same sketch, same papers and similar embellishments. Thats where the similarities end. One is for a coworker that is getting married in 3 days.


The other card is for a friend who's Grandfather is very ill. She sent a message last night that she didn't think he would make it through the night. I haven't heard one way or the other so I'm simply leaving it as a 'thinking of you' card. I hope it will not be a sympathy card.

Either way I'm pretty impressed with the turn out. I'm always eager to use my favorite shade of green.
I was so elated to get my package from I {heart} Papers yesterday, being that I just placed the order on Sunday. I really wish I had done inventory on supplies before I placed the order because I found 3 things that I'm out of 2 adhesives and a Copic refill. Time for another order. Thankfully I have a whole roll of I {stick} Papers red tacky tape. That stuff is up there with super glue!

I {heart} Copics Challenge #9

Finally made it long enough with out my Albuterol to make a card. No more shakes! Ok enough of my whining. When I read the color combo for this week's challenge, B91, Y21 and BG15... It sounded so strange... But it is SO pretty.

I'm glad to have this challenge because I've been struggling with a card for my Brother and my SIL that are expecting. I'm happy to have the inspiration...and a niece or nephew on the way.

I {heart} Copics Friday Fun Challange

This week's sponsor of our challenge is Pixel Geek Designs. I used the Medium Gable Box template to create this spring inspired box for Candies. The window is made with my Nestabilities and a sheet of acetate. I use a scrap of acetate to suspence Princess Anya so that she looks like she's floating inside. The papers used are My Mind's Eye Ooh La La from I {heart} Papers . I used Copics to color Anya, the flower at the top and the button. I didn't think I would like the templates but I was wrong. Easy to print out, cut, decorate and assemble. I love them and I will go back for more.

Playing Catch Up

I have a rotating schedule at work. This means every other month I get a few weekends of. My weekends get crazy! It's the only time I really get to hang out with my friends and sometime we get out of hand. I must always account for recovery time. It's this reason the makes my week or 2 prior to my weekends off super busy. I'm trying to tie up loose ends to I can have fun. This time around was no exception. Add to it becoming a Design Team Member for I {heart} Copics and a brief trip to Texas... wow. Moving on...


Here are my first 2 Design team assignments. The first features a digi from Michelle Perkett



The next featured the Brand new, just released and perfect for Spring Chicken Girl Designs.
