Sydney and Candy

Hi everyone. I just wanted to quickly ask you all to head over to my cousin Candy's blog and checkout what she created with my sweet baby Sydney as her inspiration. Candy spent last week with me helping me, my sister, and niece clean and organize my studio. While she was here she went shopping in Sydney's studio (aka her craft cage) and took home some treasures. I just want you all to see what she, with the help of Sydney, created. It is just wonderful. Please visit Candy's blog and leave her some love. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Corrosive Challenges #202 - Color Me Happy!

Hello everyone. We have another great challenge going on at Corrosive Challenges. The theme this time is Color Me Happy. All you have to do is use your favorite markers, pens, paints, etc to color your project. I went with Copics because that is my favorite. We have two amazing sponsors this time...Art by Miran and Aurora Wings. The prizes are 3 digis and $10 voucher respectively. Here are my projects.

Miss Tattoo from Art by Miran

Snapdragon by Aurora Wings

Both companies have amazing digis. It was hard to choose which ones I wanted so I let someone else do it for me. Thanks Regan, you chose well. I truly enjoyed working in my studio now that it is clean and I could find everything. The coloring took forever but the cards came together quickly. I went CAS for the Snapdragon and brought out some of my favorite flowers and paper for Miss Tattoo.

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and check out what the rest of the design team created for your inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Rubber Ducky Jude

Here is the fifth and final for today. This is going to be a quick post as blogger has done some damage to me today. My final little baby from Simply Betty is called Rubber Ducky Jude. This reminds me of my childhood days at grandma's house and she had no indoor plumbing. I was grateful when I was old enough to stay with my cousins without my parents since they did have indoor plumbing. Jude has been colored with Copics and I added a bunch of Stickles to the bubbles. For the rest I used: Embossing folder - Darice Papers - Stash Ribbon - Stash Thanks for stopping by.

Baby Blocks Rio

This is my fourth post today. Wow this might just make a record for me and I'm not done yet.

This cute little girl is called Baby Blocks Rio. She is one of the new babies from Simply Betty that were released yesterday. The blocks come blank so I added some rub on letters that I found when we were cleaning up my craft room. It's like finding treasures when you clean up your crafts. I found lots of things that I had forgotten I had.

I have colored her with Copic markers. The rest of the recipe is:

Embossing folder - Darice
Papers - Stash
Ribbon - Crafty Ribbons
Rub on - Stash
Stickles

Baby Mess London

Yesterday Simply Betty released a set of adorable little toddlers. I posted them all together but wanted to showcase each one today.

This one is my sisters favorite of the five babies. She is called Baby Mess London. I just love all the mess she is making. She is colored up with my Copics of course. I wanted to go simple with these babies to just focus on the stamp itself. The papers are all from Oriental Trading.

Hope you have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by.

Baby Teens from SBS

Hi everyone. Simply B Stamps has some new adorable Teen Scene babies for you today. I am showcasing 5 of them but there are 8 in total. They are just the cutest little things aren't they. I left them all CAS because I ran out of time. My AMAZING cousin, sister and niece spent the last week helping me lose my Queen Messy Desk title. My studio has been a wreck for years and I couldn't find a thing. They worked so hard to help me out and I am so appreciative. Thanks to Candy, Robin and Bianca!!!!

Since I now know where everything is, I had an idea. I have tons of supplies I forgot I even bought. If anyone would like to see me do something special in a project, please leave me a comment and suggestion. I will randomly choose one and do it. I like to be challenged especially now that I can find everything.

Now back to business. Betty has an amazing giveaway for you. Here are the details in Betty's words:

Seeing how we are continuing our awesome 4th Birthday celebration we have yet another fun little contest! This is for a HUGE package of ALL and any Teen Scene lines that release from July 2014 through December 2014! Yep any Teen Scene full lines that release between those dates! What's the contest? Why another challenge of course!

Using any of the new Teen babies create one project and do NOT use any traditional baby colors: Light Pink, Yellow, Baby Blue, Baby Green. NOTHING pastel and nothing traditional baby!
You have until the 29th of June @ 4:59 PM PST to create your projects and upload them to the linky tool below!

Birthday Betty Boos Blog Hop

Birthday Goddess

Pinata

Hello everyone. As you know, Simply B Stamps turned 4 this month so we are having a blog hop to celebrate. If you arrived here from the oh-so-talented Emily, then you are on the right track. If not, don't worry, the entire hop list is posted below. Please make sure you start from the beginning because all the hop details will be posted on the SBS blog.

Betty has created 4 new Birthday Betty Boos for you. They can be found here. They are so stinkin' adorable. The first card I did was the Birthday Goddess. I started coloring her blond hair and asked my niece what color her dress should be. She said "my signature color pink of course", you know because she has blond hair and is a Goddess herself. MWAH Grace! On the second card, I used a piece of striped paper that I just love. I thought it had pinata colors to it. I embossed the brown background but I am afraid you can't see it very well in the picture. I really need to take photography lessons.

Well that's all the babbling I will do so you can continue the hop. Your next stop is the fantastic Tanja. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge #173 Blog Hop!!!

Hello everyone. It is time for a fabulous blog hop by KennyK's Krafty Krew. If you arrived here from the amazing Nick's blog, you are on the right track. I would like to share my project using Pitstop Penny. My nephew-in-law's (is there such a thing?) birthday is coming up and he is a huge racing fan. I asked my niece to pick out the image she thought he would like. Her instructions were simple, use lots of red and yellow and maybe some racing flags. And that about sums my card up in a nutshell. I hope Kyle likes it. Happy birthday Kyle. Take care of my girls.

Next on the hop is Wonder Regan. Please head on over to her blog and check out what she made for your inspiration. If you got lost along the way, here is the entire list.
