On to the challenge, GRAC #68... to do something free-hand! OMG!!! WHAT?! Free-hand!!! But then, I was online chatting with my good friend Connie. She suggested to draw a mustache on the BBQ guy! Viola! I want to send a BIG shout out to Connie!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!

Hola chicas,

Happy Saturday to you! Here is one of the new stamps that I purchased from the Bugaboo Stamps. I love sock monkeys!!! I don't why, but I just LOVE them. And a while back, I even brought sock monkey design paper from Daisy D's. OMG! I'm crazy, LOL! But now I have the perfect excuse to use this paper.

I used the layout from Card Pattern sketch 65! I colored the image with Copics (BG000, E25, E29, E40, R29, R39), and also added some button brads. Hope you like it!

I covered the box with cardstock and dp from Recollection. And I used Richard, which I colored with my Copics (B21, B26, E000, E00, E31, E33, E34, E55, E57, E59, V99, Y21). The brown dew drops were actually white but I airbrushed them with Copics E59.

And here is what inside! I wanted to do something a little different... instead of candies, I filled the box with honey roasted cashews. Yummm!

Talk to the hand! :)

Wednesday... it's totally a perfect day to TALK TO THE HAND! LOL! I have been dying to get some of these cute images from Bugaboo Stamps, especially the monsters and the sock monkeys. And I finally did it! And I even tried out the Catch the Bug Challenge.

I was in the mood of something kinda of SPOOKY, so I used orange cs from SEI, dp is from Basic Grey Eerie. I distressed the edges of the image with TH distressing ink pad in shabby shutters. I also used SU border punch, blings (red but colored with black Copic) and wasbi paper tape (purple but colored with black Copic), and I colored the image with Copic markers (N0, N2, N4, N6, 110).

Thanks for stopping by.

Stamps from Amuse flutterby flock and sentiment dreams take flight

Cardstock is from Memory box

Blings are also from Amuse, but I colored in brown E59 with Copics

Versamark ink pad in vintage sepia and of course twine.

Yesterday, I went shopping at our local scrapbooking stores with a couple of my amazing crafty friends, and on the way there.... we stopped by this awesome muffin place called Gingerbread House, and let me tell you, their muffin is totally AWESOME!!!

Don't they do yummy? And that's reminds me that I had this super cute stamp called Pastry Girl from InStyle Stamps A Day in Life collection. It is available in both digi and rubber. And I actually purchase the rubber from ISS and I love it. Hope you like it!

ISS Color Challenge!

Happy Weekend! It's time for another fun InStyle Stamps Color Challenge. For this month, we are inspired by this photo. So pretty, I love the all the pieces... the beautiful decoration, the pictures, the totally awesome vase with orange flowers, etc...

Here is my card, I used one of the new image from the "A Day in the Life" collection, this is called BFF lunch. Let me tell you... I love, love, LOVE these A Day in the Life images! They are soooo fun to color. And here are the colors that I used.

If you are wondering... yes, I mostly have original Copic markers, I started out using the original ones, so I just kept buying the same ones. (So, you might ask... how come I have Sketch colors? I brought the refills and fill it up with an original, talking crazy, huh! It's my OCD kicking it, LOL!) However, I do have a few Sketch markers.

Please do visit the ISS blog, check out all the other wonderful DT creations and join the color challenge fun.

Oh well, I have to do it!

Well, I decide to make this card to get me motivated! I brought the super cute stamp set called Fairy Tots from Woodware USA at the CKC Manchester a few weeks ago. And I have been dying to ink it up and Viola!
