Crabby Crab Birthday

This week, the optional twist on Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz is Masculine. Our sponsor is Whimsy Stamps and I just love this crabby crab called "Crabby Cranston"!

I made up the sentiments, and the oval layers, Memory Box, are popped up on some of the layers.




Thanks for stopping by. I love reading your comments!

At the Beach with Sami, Copics, and the Outlawz

The Outlawz Challenge for Friday' Coloring group was to do something about the Beach/Pool. I didn't have a stamp that I could think of to use for this (and, the pocketbook was empty) so I dreamed all night (I often do this, anyone else?) about different things I might be able to draw on my own. So, I thought of a crab and got to work this morning drawing this little guy (Sami) and his environment "on the beach." I used my Copics to color, added some chunky white embossing enamel for the waves and a white paint pen for the lower waves.  The background paper is from "a day at the Beach" from the Paper Studio. I popped the umbrella up with a foam square. The shells are buttons.
