Catch the bug Free Friday Beach Crab

Friday June 6, 2014

 

Woo Hoo it's Friday and that is so nice and Free Friday at Catch the bug / Bugaboo and we have Beach Crab..

 

I have this DCWV paper that is all tropical so used that for the background and cut out the image and popped it up on foam dots and added a banner flag sentiment. I added glossy accents to his eyes and a lot of wink of stella glitter pen to the sand castles so it looks like sparkly sand. In person it  looks awesome.

Creative card crew #63 - nautical
Crafty girl #19 - atg
Stampin for the weekend - atg
recipe: beach crab/bugaboo, dcwv dp, su, grated sentiment, glossy accents, wink of stella glitter brush, copics

Paper Pretties #313 / Square card challenge / Welcome little one

Wednesday June 4, 2014

 

Paper Pretties #313 challenge is make your card SQUARE

 

Square is not something I usually do so this was a challenge to make the card look right. I stamped the image on this textured card stock and just used my copics to color it up. I thought using the yellow went well with the stork and made coloring the other images on the bird nice soft colors. I am happy with the way it came out. I thought adding the flowers to the top corner also announced that it was a boy birth card. I am liking this square card and may need to make more.

The image I used is OH BABY

Hello  I've posted a couple card and this calendar page today so I hope you check the other posting out.

 

My dear crafting and bff got me started with a group of girls she knows from Wisconsin who each year we do calendar pages. I want two calendars, one for home and one for work so I do two months. I did March and June. I already posted March in March.. duh...;)  so now it's time for June.  This is one of 12 pages all the same. This photo was taken before I sent it to Wisconsin for binding into a calendar and joined with the other months to make the year calendar.  It is so nice to see a different awesome new page each month and get to enjoy the other persons work of art. I love that you get the whole month to enjoy it.
