LET'S DO LUNCH

Hey there, it's day three of the Our Craft Lounge/May Arts blog hop.  Have you been enjoying the samples both design teams have been sharing?  With fall heading our way, I've decided to squeeze in just a little bit more summer fun before it's all gone...this card uses OCL's Life's a Picnic.  Those little ants are too stinkin' cute, aren't they?!?

Here's the inside...the Popsicle and puddles have clear glaze pen on them for a subtle shine.  You've gotta love those coordinating images for the insides of the cards!

ALOHA

Hey there, I'm back with another Our Craft Lounge/May Arts fun day of giveaways and inspiration!  It doesn't get much more fun than a day at the beach with OCL's Kona!  Kona is an absolute blast to color and the MA ribbon coordinates beautifully with the new Bo Bunny Hello Sunshine collection Michelle recently got in at Memories of Time!  The hibiscus flower is a MFT Die-namics die and I love it...it was just the right thing this card needed to tie everything together!  I shaped the flower with a stylus on a computer mouse pad.  The stamen was made with a pipe cleaner, glue and clear microbeads.  If you decide to give this a try, allow for plenty of time to dry!  Check out the close-up pic below...you can see the flower's dimension.

Here's the inside...although OCL always has awesome coordinating images, I went pretty simple for this one.

COPIC COLORING:
TURTLE:  YG95, YG93, YG91, YG03, Y08, YR30, E000, YG00, R30  TOWEL:  YR07, YR04, YR02, YR00  SHORTS:  BG75, BG72, BG70, YR04, YR02, YR00  FLIP FLOPS:  BG75, BG72, BG70  WATER DROPS:  BG72  GROUND:  W3, W1, W00  SKY:  BG70

How it works...leave comments on all of the participating DT blogs, OCL's Blog (the Lounge) and OCL's Facebook page for more chances to win some awesome blog candy!  Comments can be left Monday through Friday (midnight Pacific time) and the winners will be posted at the Lounge on Monday, August 13.  Good luck!  Oops...don't forget to check out May Arts too...they also have blog candy to give away!

BABY SHOWER INVITE

Hey there, Our Craft Lounge is teaming up with May Arts for a week of giveaways, fun and inspiration!


My friend, Michelle (owner of Memories of Time), is going to be a grandma...twice!  Both of her sons are going to have babies.  She's really excited and already starting to think of baby shower ideas.  She knows one is a girl, so this invite is with her in mind.  This card uses two different kinds of MA ribbon and OCL's retired Shower the Baby set, which is still available for purchase at MOT (limited to stock on hand).  It is an awesome shower set and I'm sad to see it go!

Here's the inside...the little row of ducks all have Sparkly Fluff on them.  Too cute!

MONSTER THANKS

Hey there, Little Miss Muffet has a color challenge starting today.  The theme is Neapolitan Icecream so the colors are brown, pink and cream.  A couple weeks ago I won one of their challenges and was asked if I would like to be a guest designer for an upcoming challenge.  I fell in love with their little monsters and couldn't wait to color one of them!  If you would like to participate in the challenge, head on over to their blog for all the details!


My father-in-law needed a thank you card for the neighbors who helped when my mother-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer.  They are both wonderful people and were there every day for my in-laws and continue to be there for my FIL even after she passed.  They are driving their big, old motor home to an out-of-state family reunion, so my FIL decided to give them some gas gift cards to help out along the way.  The monster was colored, fussy cut out then adhered directly to the card stock.  The dark patches have Coffee Bean Brown Sparkly Fluff from Our Craft Lounge on them.  It's cool to work with and gives cards that touch-ability factor.  Love that!  Oh, and the sentiments were computer generated.

Here's the inside...easy peasy gift card holder.  I resized the digi and made a smaller one for the inside.  I guess that's about it for this one.

COPIC COLORING:
FUR:  E35, E34, E33, E31, E30, E47  ARMS/LEGS/HORNS:  E02, E01, E00, R30  HEART:  RV25, RV23, RV21  GROUND:  E35, E35, E30, W00
