The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town.....

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Happy Holly-Day Monday. I know, I know, me too. But I hope I can provide you with some inspiration for when you do get a little time to get inky. It's my turn to post over at The Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. I actually made a card that inspired another Scrap page layout! I have now double the number of scrap pages I've done in a year! Whoot. Okay, don't be too impressed, it's only a few, but I do have the Scrapping Fever now, so you can expect at least one more, lol.

Here is my card for you today:

Sugar Pea Designs - One Big Hoppy Family

Memento Black Ink

Memento Cantaloupe Ink

Memento Tangelo Ink

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It Paper

Best Glue Ever

Doodlebug 6X6 paper pad - Springtime

Die-Namic Fishtail Flag Stax

Die-Namic Fishtail Flag Stax Layers

Die-Namic Circle Stax Set 2

Die-Namic Pierced Circle Stax

Die-Namics Woven Basket

 

My Copic Colors are: G24, G21, G20 - for the greens, C1, C0 - shading on the bunny, R81, R83, R85 - Pink dress and hat, E25, E23, E21 for the little bunnies, RV00, RV10 for the cheeks and in the ears. So I sat back and loved this one. It's simple but it's so Easterish. And I thought about what I would do with this One Big Hoppy Family set on a scrap page layout. So I did it.

Die-Namics - Grassy Edges

 

I used the basket, the marshmallow looking bunnies and the eggs from the Woven Basket Die-Namics. I have a system I use when I am cutting out multiples of the same and so it's all assembly line work, lol. Here is a close up of the stamps I used on the layout:

 

 

I added some glitter to the Letters, Numbers, Bow and Eggs, but it's not really showing up on these pictures. The additional Copic colors I used are: E35, E34, E31 for the smaller bunnies, Y35, Y13 for the eggs, B91, B93. I do have an airbrush but sometimes I just like to sponge on some Memento Cantaloupe and Tangelo for a warm sunny feel. I also dearly love punch art and I have seen this bunny on several cards at Splitcoast Stampers. I am not too sure who to give the credit to, but I did shamelessly KopyKat it and added the ears and the pom pom tail to it.

This may be the first time I scrapped a layout for an event that hasn't taken place, lol. I'm so years behind that sometimes it's just good to look ahead and now I know I have to have six really good pictures! lol.

Thanks for Looking and I hope I have inspired you today.

A Day of Thanks

Hello Friends and Stampers,

I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Did you go out shopping for the Black Friday Deals? Yikes! I'm staying in! I have plenty of scrappy things to do and I am not buying anything this year that is worth the small savings for all the crowds and traffic. But I do like to hear about everyone Else's experiences, lol.

It's a Happy Holly-Day over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog! I hope you have today off as well. 

MFT PI - Li'l Pumpkin

doodlebug designs - happy harvest

Copic Markers

X-Press It Copic Paper

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Okay well it's close enough to Thanksgiving that I thought I would give it one more card, lol. This goes along with our current challenge for Thanksgiving, Thank You, Thankful. I also thought I would try a CAS design, but now I feel like there are layers missing, lol.

Have you seen all the NEW ITEMS that were added to the store? I know the Some Odd Girl fans are going to be very happy!

Have a great day and don't forget to check in tomorrow for Indah's Video Tutorial Post.

All About Love .... of the Coffee

Happy Tuesday!!!

It's time for another Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps and this weeks theme is All About Love!  Did you know the owner of Loves Rubberstamps is Laura Love?  How cool is that last name?  Very seldom do I wish I had someone Else's last name, but you know, geez, Love, I would LOVE to have that last name, lol. 

Okay, back to business.  I would like to thank Eureka stamps for Sponsoring our Challenge this week and for the fabulous digi's they sent the design team to play with.  The moment I saw this Heart Frame Digi I knew I had to have it!  And I wasn't the only one, head on over to the Challenge blog to see what the other DT members made!  So I started out with the Heart Frame and colored it up with my Copic markers, cut out the center and fussy cut out the heart.  Then I inked up my TGF Latte Anya with Memento Black Ink and colored her up with my Copic Markers and fussy cut her out.  I used some papers from Fancy Pants Designs 6X6 Love Note and a Crochet die-namic border and glued them all down with my Best Glue Ever!  I added some Card Candi - Ritz that I adhered with Candi Fix. 

I know you have some fabulous creation to show us your - All About Love!  I cannot wait to see it. 

Sadly, when this card was created, it was created around chaos.  My Kuerig Coffee Maker died.  I had it for 15 months and this was the replacement for the last one that died.  I don't think these things were made for SERIOUS coffee drinkers.  On the average it gets used 3 times a day, sometimes up to 6 times a day.  Every single day.  I think these were made for the single person who likes one cup of coffee first thing in the morning and then that's it.  lol.  I also will say I do not descale or clean it out very often and it recommended you do this once a week.  Once a week?  I have cards to make people!  lol.  So now comes the dilemma.  Do I run out and get another Keurig or do I go back to the old tried and true coffee maker that lasts me about 3 years?  I'm crazy about my K-Kups and I love all the variety.  I love that I can leave it on and get my coffee within a minute! lol.  I think I'll run out and buy another one, lol.  Yes, I am insane. lol.  Lucky for me, my son moved back in and I had bought him one for his birthday, lol.  Now we are using that one until I buy a replacement. 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.
