Hoodie-Hoo

Hoodie-Hoo is the optional twist for Twisted Thursday. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I selected Girls Happy Trio!

So what does Hoodie-Hoo represent? It is a copyrighted holiday by Wellcat.com as a day, on Feb. 20, when people go out at noon and wave their hands over their heads yelling "Hoodie-Hoo"! It's meant to chase away the winter and hurry the spring in!

The image was colored with Copics and Prismacolor colored pencils. The frame was created on watercolor paper using a stamp frame from Unity Stamp, Charm. I covered it with watercolor brush pens then sprayed the paper and the stamp with Dylusions Shimmer Spray, Pure Sunshine. Then, I cut all layers, including the card with Creative Basics Dies by Rhea. I made the sentiment on the computer, added some flowers and twine from my stash.

Be My Valentine

Be My Valentine is the optional twist for Twisted Thursday. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I selected this cute little bee and ladybug, Bee Flower,  to make a Valentine for my sweetie.

The decorative oval is from We R Memory Keepers (sprayed with Copic markers for matching color), the picot edged oval is from Clarity Stamps. The sentiments were created in Word then cut with Die-namics stitched dies. The image was colored with Copics, Prismacolor colored pencils, Distress Inks and with added white gel pen.

Pig Time Vacation Adventures

Double Trouble Challenge #31 is a fun one this time. Lots of optional twist and turns and shares to take along the way. The main theme is Holiday/Vacation with the ideas of adding a sign and some embossing.

The embossed background was done with a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder, and swiped with some blue Distress Ink, The background photo came from a free site, Pixabay. The sign is a digi image from DeeDee's Digi images, and the vacationing pig is from Bugaboo and colored with Copics and gel pens. The clouds are die cut with Whimsy's Up in the Clouds.

Beauty from Bugaboo

This week the challenge over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog is an anything goes. My favorite! So, combining this with Kathy's 30 Day Coloring Challenge, I selected the digi stamp Beauty to color on Kraft.

I colored the image using Prismacolors, then created a trifold card base using my Scan n Cut with a cut file from My Scrapchick. I had some butterfly paper in my stash that I used to back each panel, then I fussy cut out a few for embellishments along with a few punched butterflies.

Thanks for your visit. I do enjoy reading your comments!

Double Trouble and Coffee Lovers Bloghop

Feeling a bit bad for Thing 2 that I ignored yesterday, so I thought I should do a second card for challenge #1 on my friends new blog, Double Trouble!
Thing 1 asks you to use 2 or more patterned papers, which I did. Thing 2 double dares you to link up to the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  So for day three, I will have two entries to the Coffee Lover's Bloghop!

Copic Colors Used

I used an image and sentiment from a Bugaboo mini-set Coffee Mug. The papers and little paper cups were from my stash.

Hope you'll join in on the fun for both of these groups! Thanks for your visit. If you commented on previous entries and wondered where your comments went, blogger is having some issues in that area. I hope I have now posted past comments that you all have kindly left for me, and I thank you!

Moving Day - For the New Double Trouble Challenge

So excited to tell you that there is a new challenge in town! A couple of my good friends decided to start a challenge where you can use ANYBODY'S images! Isn't that great? Now you can pull out those stamps and images that you can never get to and have some fun over at Double Trouble!

Thing 1 and Thing 2 offer you some choices, and I selected Thing 1 this time. Thing 1 asks you to use 2 or more patterned papers. I have a paper pack that actually was gifted me by one of the creator's of this blog. I have used it many times and can still find lots of uses for it. I used three different papers from the Cartopia set by Echo Park. Colored pencils and some Nuvo Crystal drops added more color.

So, here is Challenge #1. The images are from Bugaboo -  Houses and Moving Truck.



Glad you stopped by and I would be thrilled if you would support my friend's new venture!

Bugaboo Birthday Penguin Cupcake

Bugaboo, Catch the Bug, has a bingo board challenge that started today as part of their birthday celebration. I have been itching to color up this adorable Birthday Penguin Cupcake image. I selected the middle row of Cupcake/Bugaboo Image/Bold Colors.

Primary colors always means bold to me. I did need to add a bit of pink though because frosting that is too bold kind of scares me, LOL!

I cut out a side step card and used some Photoplay Party Box papers. I decided to add more balloons, so I used Poppy Stamps Celebration balloons. The frame was die cut with Snowflake Stitched Frames from Penny Black.

Copic Colors Used

The sentiment, white heat embossed and popped up is from Elizabeth Craft Designs General Sentiments. Lots of Nuvo Clear Shimmer Pen was added for some fun.

This happens to be day two of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge as well. So take a look at the fun going on there as well.

Snail Mail Stickers and Card

The optional twist this week for Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz an anything goes. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I used the image Snail Mail. My main goal was to make some stickers to put on the back of envelopes. I colored the image first, scanned it, reduced the size, then copy and pasted it into a Word document table. I used a sheet of Stick It taped to a sheet of paper to print it. I'm certain there must be an easier way, but it worked!

I couldn't waste the original, so I made a card using it. The tiny envelope is from Stampin Up.

Anniversary Celebrate Card with Bugaboo Birthday Bird

The optional twist this week for Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz is Something Old/Something Blue Wedding or Anniversary Card. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I used Birthday Bird 04 to make an anniversary celebration card.
I won a package of markers at my Stampin Up group and couldn't wait to color using them. This set is called 2016-2018 In Color. Because of the green and blue markers, I selected turquoise blue as my main color. The "old" part is a ribbon that came with a package.

The "Celebrate" stamp is from a Tim Holtz collection and the inside sentiment comes from Hero Arts, Happy Stamp and Cut.
