2 cool! CI Challenge #37

Friday, January 9th, 2009

I should be packing right now for tomorrow’s crop, but I decided to squeeze in Kristina’s Color Inspiration Challenge yet real quick!

Fun Friday Project: Perpetual Holiday Scrapbook

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Looking through my holiday cards I realize how many of our friends and family send photo cards. I save them from year to year, watching how much children grow, pets come and go and reminiscing over past holidays.

CPS Sketch Challenge With Extra Cheddar (Prize Alert)

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Sweet ‘n Sassy is the sponsor this week over at Card Positioning Systems (CPS). CPS provides a new sketch each week, lots of inspiration, and usually a prize. This week is no different! Here is my version of the sketch using Purr-Fect Day, one of seven Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps sets released last Friday. Who says opposites can’t attract? These little mice are fur-ever friends with this little kitty. I colored the cat with Copic markers -YR24 Pale Sepia all over, YR16 Apricot for stripes and R20 Blush for the nose and ears. The mice were colored with shades of warm grays and stamped 6 times, then put on pop dots with thread for tails. I used Memento Rich Cocoa and Tangelo inks on the sentiment.
