I grew up listening to the Beatles. I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan show and it was so exciting.

Smile it is the key that fits - Crafty Sentiments

Tuesday January 19, 2021

Hello.. It's time for another challenge over at 

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES

I am using this fun image called Back to School. I colored him with copics.. I decided to give him black hair.. I always go for the browns, sometimes red or blond but I am liking the black hair. I used Ranger ink to go around the edge of the image. I used my dry wall tape and Ranger ink to give the grid stencil effect to the background.  My friend had some Dylusions sentiments that were different from the ones I had so I stamped a bunch of them quite awhile ago for future use.. and thought this was a fun sentiment for the card. I cut them apart and went around the edge with Ranger ink. I added with some foam dots. I punched the Stampin up heart from a scrap and used Ranger ink around the edge and then used clear Nuvo drops over the top.

Hello beautiful - Make My Monday #140

Monday January 18, 2021

Hello... 
We have a new challenge going on over at 

Our theme is HELLO



Well since I have quite a few hello dies.. I decided to pick some that were different fonts and sizes (My favorite things, Simon Says, Tech. Tues) and I repeated die cutting them till I got what I wanted for the background. I am glad I had the hi.. as it filled in those smaller spaces.. I was going to put them on white but I wasn't liking the effect so chose this soft mint color background and the white hello's looks nicer. I stamped the Simon says sentiment on vellum and heat embossed then used MFT die to cut out. I added some sequins. I stamped the SS sentiment on black and heat embossed. I added this to finish the card.

Challenges:
Simon Wednesday - layer it up
Paper craft #66 - heat or dry embossing (black emb/white on black paper)
Simon Monday - we're on a roll (circle vellum)
