My Favorite Things, Sketch 246

For this sketch I used several MFT products (see list at the end of this post). The focus, of course, is the foliage. Fall Florals and Modern Blooms stamps were perfect for the look I wanted to achieve. 

The dark "ferns" are from the Modern Blooms set, the rest of the plants are from Fall Florals, and the sentiment comes from the Things With Wings set.

CASology Cue Card: Umbrella

Here we are, another Monday and another new week. Hope you're ready, cuz ... well, we have no choice, do we! LOL 

Today’s card is for CASology.  I used this cute little stamp by My Creative Time for my CAS card. The image and sentiment are both from the stamp set called I’m Here For You, Rain or Shine. The background hearts are by Lawn Fawn from the Teeny Tiny Backdrops stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed today's project. If you're interested in any of the products I used, I've linked them in the narrative for easy access. :)

Thanks for coming by the studio!

Melonheadz Friends, Try Something New challenge!

Ok, I admit that shakers are not all that new to me, but I did try something a little different this time. I printed itty bitty images from the Halloween Stuff set to add to the sequins in my shaker! The zombie eyeball (so cute!) and the adorable little bat are perfect, don't you think so?!

Please join us for this fun challenge at Melonheadz Friends and you could win free digis by my enormously talented friend Nikki, aka Melonheadz Illustrating. :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Happy birthday to my hubster!

This post, however, is all about the hubs. He is considering himself officially old today as he will be applying for Social Security, which means I will tease him about his age, unmercifully, for the next nine months (until I also turn SS age! LOL). Anyway, when I saw this stamp set, called Holy Carp!, by Skipping Stones Designs, I HAD to have it! It is positively PERFECT for my fishing-loving husband. He fishes every single day he is able which means (now that he is basically retired) every day it is "warm enough", according to him. :) Works for me!

He is a fly fisher so he rarely sits in a boat anymore, but I loved the images in this set and had to use them. The sentiments, however, could not be any better. Each of these is an individual stamp so I combined them to make my message.

I stamped the image twice and colored them. Then I cut the fisherman out of one of the images and attached with foam tape for dimension. I colored his "outfit" the same as what hubs usually wheres when he goes fishing.

For a finishing touch, I added glossy accents to the water to make it look really "wet" and for added texture.

Thanks for coming by today. I'll likely be spending a lot of my day helping someone look up all the info he needs to fill out paperwork. ;)
