Love to create Challenges #5

Here it is Challenge #5 already??  Today over at Love to Create Challenges we are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps, and my example is made from a stamp titled Cinderella #2, with the theme being monochromatic. I made her into a tag with burlap, gauze and stiching for her accents. Also notice too that  I used copic-ed cotton balls for her dust bunnies.  Again and as always,
 Thank you for taking a peek and I truly hope you feel inspired.

The images are all a little saucy and they have some truly great steam punk chicks which I for one will be running over to get! Enjoy the challenge and thank you for stopping by.

Challenge #1 Love To Create Challenges

This first challenge was sketch 1 using pink/red and white.

project # 6 of my new years resolution

I colored my image with copics then cut the circles out with spellbinders ; notice how I did the lift and cut method for the image so that Ruby's image errupts from the circle. I then used seam binding to make her hair scarf, thread for her hair with touches of texture "puff" paint. Add on tons of bling and stickles and WHA LA...Ruby with tude.

So Excited....Do you know what tomorrow is????

Tallest Journal in the World

http://alteredbits.com

Ladies and Gents..I wanted to share this today ..It's a fun thing to do and it is going for a good cause..Hope you can join the fun! What we are doing is making journal pages that eventually will be collated into the "BIGGEST" Journal in the world- world- world (echo) After it's assembled then it will be auctioned off to charity. Either way it's non-profit and plain old fun sharing exactly what art was meant to be. I am adding a link and button so you may read all about it and gain insightful info.

#4 Of my resolution challenge is....Clara

I used Kraftin Kimmie stamp (Clara) , Copics , Spellbinders and bling for buttons. Also there is a wee secret to the eyes that makes your stamped people just a little more animated....Can you guess?

#3 Zindorf Happiness

 Todays project are cards made from stamps and a whole bunch of brayer work. I had the privilage of taking classes from Michelle Zindorf in Savannah and to see her do in 10 minutes what takes me an hour is pretty impressive. If you get the chance go check out her link below and get inspired by her more than 400 tutorials!

2012 resolution project #2 Birdie Earrings

As most of you know I am a charm/trinket freak! So the moment I found these egg-look alike beads, a staged earring was born. I am certain (even though I am not sure where- everywhere; or I would tell you specifically) I have seen similar things to this.Hope you feel inspired!  

( UPDATE) Graphics from Dover " Valentines Keeper"

(UPDATE) : Project 1 of 50 for the New Years resolution! Do you remember in grade school when you made big ole construction paper valentines holders? Some times like this or maybe an old milk carton or oatmeal container was used. Either way, I remember decorating it for little valentine cards. Do the children even do this anymore? Or has this become Politically incorrect somehow as well? I hope not because, It was about love...and being kind. Even to the people you may not have appreciated, aka "Bobby the nervous booger eater" for me UGH!

Today I was setting around relaxin and realized I haven't looked at my clip art books in a while...I love graphics and if you like G45 paper so do you..or the Graphic Fairy on and on....Anyway I started pulling things off the handy disc in the back of the book (Dover) and copic-ed away! I am going to show you this one in stages so that maybe you will or can do the same. Hope this gives you inspiration.

2011 Christmas Cards

Hambo and copics

Old school spellbinders poinsettia

Atlanta Intermediate...."COPICGASMM"!

Hey ya- all I went to the Intermediate Copic class and even though I am simply burnt out with info.....I have the piece of paper to prove it  ;)  Got some free stuff and had a great time with hubby met some new friends and was able to shop the mother ship "IKEA". And a little advice Don't leave the craft studio piled high then go shopping everywhere and expect to fit it all in. Good Grief!  For those of you that may wonder...yes I did! I bought the BIG table whoo freakin whoooooooo! This is gonna be a interesting holiday if the beginning of the month is any proof of the karma of things. Hope you all have had a great week.

Crop Night Impromtu

Yesterday was my good friend Jackies in-house crop/yard sale. It was awesome! I knew I was gonna make tag ornaments and had prepared to share (Graphic Fairy) for the vintage birds , but didn't think when I started on the example that it would turn out like it did..I am so happy everyone liked it and had fun! We learned that puff paint is sold in the decorator fabric area disguised as none other than ( puff paint). I shared the way to make your own crackle glass (hoping everyone uses common sense and uses safety goggle and towels incase you do explode the glass)....And we learned that no matter what....Never use heat guns on feathers (stinky) cause its burning chicken-hair. EWW. Love you all and so glad to hear so much laughter in one room!

Button Farm Kit PLUS add on's

Here ya go ladies... We went to ckc and i believe we all purchased this kit..I said I would show my end result because as per usual I( I am never satisfied with what i am given) So I changed some things up. So hope you get some inspiration.

The third one was done with one of the new stamps from Inkadinkado....I copied the stamped and then blew it up...I think it turned out really awesomeee!

Hambo Happiness!

Good Morning to ya'all.....it's just a couple cards made with Hambo stamps and my handy dandy copics.....The cobwebbed gauzy action on my witch makes me happy about spiders...Okay not really. I am a little rusty on writing the cheesy stuff and my coffee has only had it's first sips consumed . And now that I look at Nana boy I think how he would make a really awesome valentine! He also doubles as a paper pad holder.

Cameo Tag

Today I wanted to show you this tag I made. I used jewelry finding for embellishments /seam binding as the ribbon (all jacked up) and if you will notice, it has layered tags atop of each other.

More Shrinky happiness!

Here is a phone charm that I assembled on a play date with my friends Susan and Missy. We stamped on shrinky dinks and wired/beaded and wrapped! FUN!

Disaster has happened !

One day you are merrily going along thinking of all your projects and what you can actually accomplish then "CRASH"!!! Oh noooo!...." Where " is the first question.....upstairs? Okayyy (climbs stairs cautiously) Studio looks like tornado but chick made "Shew".....Then you turn the corner with one eye shut and the other peeking to the shopping room and you see it. UGH! One of my storage systems has collapsed! Holy Shitaki Mushrooms Girls! There are run away punches and naked stuff all over the joint!..So today even though I had things that were fun planned......I simply must go to the Market and clean up the stock that has fallen from my shelves. Anyone have a good (not broken) storage shelf for sale?

I see you

Hello and Good Morning..This is a little dolly card I did using copics and some free graphics from the "fairy' check out her link in my pretend BFF's category....I know you have seen me do this dolly before but I couldnt resist since finding the little glasses at CKC. Enjoy!

Copics and Kraftin Kimmie

These are some of the cards that I have colored with copics using the Kraftin Kimmie stamps...I told a little birdie I would show examples so that she may see what all can be done, I would also like to throw out into blogger world that if you take copic classes..do yourself a favor and be sure that your instructor is certified, You can find this out by going to the copic website and looking on the map that is nearest you..if their name doesn't show..they aren't certified and you run risk of being misinformed. That is never good for anyone and copics are a investment you don't want to be mislead on. I have also found that the Strathmore Bristol "smooth" paper works great with copics. Bristol papers come in ply's instead of weights like watercolor paper, which I don't recommend. But keep it simple! You can find this at Micheal's and with a coupon it's just happy money. Also remember when using copics more is better to blend, always start with lightest as base, then if you miss something it can be easily blended. If you end up with unwanted lines...blend all out with base light and let dry thoroughly before reapplying. Hope these few tips help and feel free to contact me if you have questions.
