Spoonful of Sugar Challenge #9 & Blog Candy

This week the challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar is to use a sketch provided by my favorite: Katharina. This girl sure is busy. I am also going to submit it to her YAOB challenge. I hope that is okay. I had such a fun time with this sketch. I am sure I will use it many times again. I inked up my favorite new stamp by Elizabeth Bell. This time, I decided to use my copics to color her in. I was inspired to color her by the colors used by Marlene of L'il Bit of Me. The horizontal panel is a piece of Wild Wasabi card stock that I ran through the cuttlebug using a folder that I can't remember the name of (sorry!). I made the flower by using some SU! punches and stickes. I love the way this card turned out!

Goodmorning! I have not had much time to play with my stamps. The weather is gorgeous and hubby has some time off work so we are taking advantage! Yesterday when we arrived homeafter a fun sun-filled day, there was a surprise in my mail-box...my Magnolia Summer Stamp Club had arrived! This is the first time I have ordered the Stamp Club because you are ordering stamps that you haven't seen yet and you have no idea what they are! But I figured that I basically love everything they come up with so I tried it out. I do not regret it! There were 4 Tildas, 2 Edwins and a whole bunch of amazing accessory stamps. These I never end up buying because I just can't afford them but with the Stamp Club I got so much- it was a real bargain! I think I'm hooked! I was so anxious to try them out that I made this card last night. I used another of Katharina's sketches (#19) - they are just amazing - and I will enter it in her YAOB challenge. This little Tilda is so sweet with her basket and bottle - she's all ready to celebrate. I used my Sweet Blush papers form Papertrey - they are so gorgeous and I colored with my Copics which I still need practice with! Enjoy and celebrate your day!

Just Because You're You

I made this card to post to Katharina's blog. It is her sketch and if you make the central image a Sugar Nellie, you have a chance to win one of their stamps. That is very good incentive for me. I really love this sketch. The image actually has her standing beside a clump of flowers and holding a basketful of apples but I thought it was too big to use in this sketch so I ended up cutting her out set her against some DP. It is a little intimidating to post this to the amazing talented Katherina's blog, but hey, I want a go at the goodie!!! Have a great day! Summer break has officially started over here in our home. Here's to a lovely Summer for us all!
