MFT Birthday Project Peekin' in!

July's monthly card challenge at

My Favorite Things

is 

"Peek a Boo Birthday"!

Here's my take on a P I  stamp

"Aim High"

with a cut out for the adorable little kite. (Since discontinued)

Somewhat different from the cut-out being open to a flat stamped image underneath.  I enjoy allowing the little stamped piece to 

stick out through the circle cut!

And I can't resist fussy cutting out her little dress! 

I like keeping the sentiment somewhat non-specific. but still appropriate for a birthday!

You never know what occasions may "POP UP" in the future.

Happy crafting everyone!

Swingin' in for a Color Challenge!

This week's challenge at House Mouse Challenge #294 is:

A Color challenge!!!

This gave me the perfect excuse to pull out my pink and purple papers along with this adorable House Mouse image of the flowers!

I chose the Pink, Purple, and White trio of colors for my card.

Used my Copics markers and added some Tattered Angels Shimmer Mist on the blossoms and
Violet Leaf stack from DCWV.

The shimmer is difficult to see in a photo, but IRL, it looks amazing. 

I also chose to add a few water droplets using my Glossy Accents.  

By popping up the flowers by stamping the image twice and coloring and cutting out the second set, 

adhere with a few 3D foam squares, and your image becomes so much more dimensional!

These little images are so easy to color and can be used for any occasion.
As you can see, I chose a generic greeting so that it'll be at the ready no matter 
what the happy occasion!

It's Summer at the House!

The House Mouse, 

that is!

This week's challenge is 

Summer Fun!

Since I have just recently started coloring again 

after some medical issues,

one of my first stops was at some of my favorite blogs,

two of those being Stampendous and House Mouse!

One of my many favorite images

from House Mouse/Stampendous is this little 
Happy Hopper!

I chose to color him up with my Copics markers, 

and make a 3 dimensional card.

The wonderful thing about these little animal images is that they can be used for any occasion!

In this case, I have a dear friend who's birthday is 

in August, so what better way to send a "cool" wish!

Happy coloring to everyone out there!

If you're like me, and have been on a sabbatical from

scrapping, get back in there!!!
