Happy Bird-day

Another cute stamp from the Tweet set at Pink Cat Studio.
I curled a small strip (about 1/8", maybe more) around a pencil. Instant birthday embellishment!
Another faux airbrushing tag. I used a pale blue in this time. I should have let the blue ink dry longer before stamping the sentiment, but patience is really not my thing. :)
The papers are from My Mind's Eye. The sewing machine came out, the Nestabilities, along with some cute white rick-rack from Doodlebug. The bird was colored using Primsa color pencils. I must confess, that I caved and ordered some Copics (just a few colors to try). I can't wait for them to arrive!

TECC 28 and Blog Candy!

I love all the sketches that are floating out there. Sometimes its nice to use someone else's ideas and this sketch from Taylor's Cupcake Challenge sparked my interest. Plus, I had new Basic Grey Eva paper from ScrapLovers to use and new Tweet stamps from Pink Cat Studio.

I LOVE the look of the airbrushing with Nesties, but I don't have any Copics, so I had to be creative. I used my Nesties as a stencil, but used chalk ink and a stippling brush. WAY happy with the results and will be trying this on everything. :)

Sneak Peek Day 3

Today is the last day of sneak peeks from Pink Cat Studio's August release. Today we get to share some of our favorite projects. Tomorrow you will be able to see the images and shop! :)
I have to thank Melissa and the whole design team at Pink Cat. They have been so kind and welcoming, it has been an honor working with them this month! Thank you!!

Limitless Limbs
I used the swirl tree as a flourish in the corner. I added some small flowers from the set. The flowers were stamped on patterned paper.

Billy and Lily Accessories

This is a small metal tin from a $1 spot. Billy is holding an apple for the teacher-thought this would be a cute and quick welcome back to school gift for a teacher. The apples were colored and highlighted with a paint pen. They then got shiny with some Glossy Accents. The paper band around the center of the tin is a pre-made label from Creative Cafe.
Limitless Limbs
Isn't the monkey cute?! My DS is all about Curious George, so he had to fly away with the darling balloon in this set. The papers from Scenic Route were too perfect! :)

Ethan had his stitches removed this morning. They placed him under and he did beautifully. He is so funny, he woke up talking! (wonder where he got that from....?) He will need to wear Steri-strips for the next 3 weeks, but he can now go outside, as long as he is slathered in sun screen. I finally have hopes of not having to watch Geo Trax anymore! :) Thank you for all your prayers and well-wishes. I know they made everything go smoothly! thanks for stopping by!

Pink Cat Studio Guest Designer

My week keeps getting better! I was chosen to be the Guest Designer for August at Pink Cat Studio! If you haven't seen Melissa's stamps yet, run to the store! What completely hooked me were the Billy stamps. Darling little boy stamps that you can DRESS UP! I had to get them. DS thinks they are great too. I have a few projects in the works, so I will share them later. Check out the blog to see the bedroom I created for Billy. It was fun and totally inspired by my little guy. Thank you to Melissa and the whole design team! I can't wait to start creating! :)
