Anything Girlie Goes at CMC

Happy Saturday to you!  I don't know about you, but we've got some cloudy skies here.  Perfect for crafting!  We've got another challenge for you over at the CMC Copic Challenge.  This time it's Anything Goes w/a Girlie Twist.  So pull out those girlie images, ribbon, and bling and show us what you've got.  Our wonderful sponsor, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, gave us each a stamp to use.


This cute image is from the LuLu on the Move set.  Isn't she just too cute?  The sentiment comes with the set as well.  I stamped her onto Cryogen White Cardstock and colored her with my Copics (RV69, RV34, RV10/YR24, YR21, E35/E11, E00, E000, R20/G24, G20/E43, E40/BG10/W5, W2).  My DP is Heidi Grace Designs.  I also ran some DCWV white core cardstock through my cuttlebug and sanded it a bit.  I got my ribbon from the Paper Temptress and the button and twine are from my stash.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts (aren't they yummy?), and I added a bit of Stickles the flowers and her hula hoop.  I stamped the sentiment with some Color Box ink. 

You have until August 3rd to enter for your chance to win 3 stamps or 1 set of stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Plus, each entry goes into a monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  So pull out your Copics, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or colored pencils and get girlie!  Head on over here.  We'd love to have you play along.

Big Hair at CMC!

Hello again.  We've got another challenge for you over at the CMC Copic Challenge.  We want to see you color your images that have BIG HAIR!  Color it any way you want, just be sure your image has big hair. 




Our sponsor, Crafts and Me, gave us some images to color.  I colored Moon Glow, and she has definitely got a lot of hair.  I printed this digi onto Cryogen White Cardstock and colored her with my Copics (BG13, BG11, BG10/E99, E97, Y21, Y11/E11, E00, E000, R20/E43, E40).  The flowers are some new ones I got from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Aren't they pretty?  The ribbon and lace are from my LCS, and the doily, button, twine, and rhinestones are from my stash.  I added a Tim Holtz tag and distressed it with some Vintage Photo ink, and then added a bit of Stickles to the image.

We would love for you to join us this time around.  You have a chance to win a prize from Crafts and Me, and every entry goes into a drawing for the monthly prize...a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  So be sure to head over to the CMC Copic Challenge for your chance to play along and win.

Happy Father's Day

Hi again.  I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and had a decent Monday.  Of course I'm a day late with this post, but here it is nonetheless.  I thought this Digi Shack image would be perfect for a Father's Day card. 


I printed it onto Cryogen White Cardstock and colored it with my Copics (Y28, Y23, Y21/G24, G21, G20/E11, E00, E0000/BG10/C1).  The DP is from Chatterbox and the ribbon from my stash.  I put some DCWV white core cardstock in one of my embossing folders, ran it through my Cuttlebug, and then sanded it a bit.  I also pulled out my Snow Marker and used that to create the foam on the beer.  Cute, huh?

Also, don't forget that the challenge over at the CMC Copic Challenge Group is BABIES!  There is still time to join, so we hope to have you play along.

Challenges:

Do You Stack Up - Boys/Men
Crafty Catz Weekly - Embossing
Creatalicious - Anything Goes

All About Babies at CMC

It's me again, with another challenge over at the CMC Copic Challenge Group.  This time it's all about BABIES! 




Our sponsor, I Brake For Stamps, let us each use one of their digis.  I chose Starry Pajamas.  I thought this was just the sweetest image.  I printed him out onto Cryogen White Cardstock and colored him with Copics (BG78, BG75, BG72, BG0000/Y07, Y000/E11, E00, E0000, R20/E29, E25, E31/C1, C00/BG10).  The papers are an older DCWV pack I've had.  I added the ribbon, button, twine, and pearl adhesives from my stash.  I ran one of my Spellbinders banner dies through the Cuttlebug and added the sentiment from Hero Arts.

So break out your Copics, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers, or colored pencils and let's see your baby themed projects.  You have until June 22nd to enter and anyone can play along.  One lucky winner will get 5 digis of their choice from I Brake For Stamps.  Plus, every entry goes into a monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  Remember, you can't win if you don't play along.  Head over here to join in the fun.  I hope to see you there.
