Make It Purple

This week at Make It Colourful we're Making it Purple. We're sponsored this week by Some Odd Girl and I'm a total fan!

Here's my purple card. I paired Snuggle Tiny Tia with Rainbow Dandelion to create this fun scene. I added a trellis from the Filigree Chipboard and covered it in purple glitter. The image is printed on Make It Colour paper and colored with Copics.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Paperplay #36 - 2 or more stamped images

2. Charisma Cardz #36 - inspired by a song - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

3. Stamp Something - anything goes - I'm so sorry to see this challenge ending!

4. Polkadoodle #36 - setting the scene

Before I go, Peanut loved this scene. She colored with Crayola markers and ensured that Tia's faces is purple.

Happy Crafting!

Peanut's Party Favors

Peanut's birthday is coming up and we needed to make favor bags. I used Meredith's great new kit Rainbow Wishes with WendyBird Designs Pack Your Bag Template. They were so easy to make since I only had to cut out one layer. I replaced the paper straps with ribbon ones that I stapled on. We filled them up with goodies and we were good to go!

Happy Crafting!

Circle Journal Page

I think I'm done with all the pages that need to be decorated for my circle journal. This is the last page before the thank you page on the back cover. A bright end to the journal featuring Cupcake Mouse by Designed 2 Delight. I colored her with Copics on Make It Colour paper. I added some more of the freebie chipboard from Cardmaking and Papercraft.

I'm Expecting...A Nephew!

We're expecting a new nephew very shortly. Peanut and I have been invited to the baby shower and I made a card for the shower. I used Sleeping Baby Tingla for my card. Since my SIL is expecting a boy, I went very blue for this card. I colored the image with Prisma Pencils and Gamsol. I used Make It Crafty Filigree Borders to frame the image. I had a bunch of Jolee stickers for babies so I used those to decorate the card. The yellow balloon says "New."

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Just Magnolia - Anything Goes with optional circles (I used paper and ribbon with a circle pattern).

2. Magnolia Down Under #112 - frame it

3. Sunday Sketch and Stamp #71 - Maggie's Sketch

4. The Crafty Pad #137 - blue and brown

Happy Crafting!

Creating My Own Background

I rarely get to play in the TOMIC because work interferes with getting a project done. The holiday Monday changed all that! I made my own background using crumpled tissue paper, a doily, glitter Modge Podge and some distress ink. The cardboard behind Edwin and Tilda is recycled from a waffle box. I played around with my Prisma Pencils to color the image. I'm in a bit of a Copic funk right now, so I thought I'd give them another try and I'm really loving them!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. TOMIC #14 - make your own background

2. Allsorts #119 - green and blue

TCC Sept Progressive Challenge Week 1

We're going to be celebrating all month long at The Crafter's Cafe. Have you seen the amazing blog candy available just for being a member? We'll be announcing the winner at our September Digi Day, which will be filled with games fun and challenges. JLJ Designs is sponsoring a digi paper challenge all month - anything goes as long as you use digi paper.

My card for the first week of our progressive challenge would fit right in at the digi paper challenge, too! I made my own template in PSE then added papers from my A Boy's Life Minikit. I layered on Spaceship from The Stamping Boutique. I added two robots from the kit and Have a Blast from The Stamping Boutique to the bottom of my printed page. I printed the whole thing out, colored the images with Copics, and cut out the robots and sentiment. I used pop dots to make the robots and sentiment stand out. I added lots of glitter to finish the card.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Birthday Sundaes #25 - birthday card

2. iCopic #46 - glitter

Circle Journal - Back Cover

I'm working my way through all the pages I need to do on my circle journal. I've been finding sketches and challenges for inspiration. Lots of decorating to be done! This is the back cover. I used Daisy's Cupcake from Fresh Brewed Designs. I printed her on Make It Colour paper and colored her with Copics. I tried creating some polka dots on her top with the Colorless Blender. Not sure how well that worked.

I'd like to enter this project in the following challenges:

1. Paper Sundaes #85 - sketch by Lisa

2. Cupcake Inspirations #126 - I was inspired by the bright colors and polka dots.
