Playing along with Craftin' Desert Divas Linky Party

I saw the current linky party over at Craftin' Desert Divas blog and decided to play along.  Well truth be told I was set on cleaning and while I was cleaning I found some summer papers that made me stop and say out loud "these would go perfect with the new CDD bears"!  Needless to say my ADHD kicked in and I threw the cleaning to the curb and crafting away I went!! Cleaning really is under-rated anyway....lol

These bears were just the cutest!! I fell in love with them.  The set is called GOTTA WEAR SHADES.  The little bear looked like it was waving so I paired it with the Hello sentiment from SAY IT BIG.  The papers are from Echo Parks Summer Bliss. I colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers then added some Glossy Accents to the eye glasses and the flower as well as some Stickles on the water.

I am linking this up to their sketch linky party which ends this weekend I believe.  Okay off to find something else to color!!

Favorite Color Combo

Good morning everyone!  It is a great day with a new challenge over at the Sisterhood of Crafters.  The challenge is to make a project using your favorite color.  I think it is funny how your tastes change with time.  I used to love very plain basic neutral colors.  Now I am all about the bold and beautiful!  I got this paper pad and started to use it to make a project for a friend.  I have not been able to get enough of the teal and the orange together.  I would of never looked twice at those colors but now I LOVE them!  

The stamp set I used was from Craftin' Desert Divas new release called SAY IT BIG.  Love those sentiments and I gotta say when I got it in the mail they were so much nicer than they looked on the screen.  LOVE THEM!

Star Wars card

Good afternoon everyone!  We have a birthday party to go to today and he loves Star Wars so I came up with this to attach to his gift. 

I used a Tag Gift card holder by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette store and enlarged it to a nice size.  I wanted it to stick out on my gift bag.  I used Yoda from Too Cute By Jessica's GALACTIC PALS set.  The sentiment I used came from Peachy Keens PKSC-30 June 2014 Stamp of the month set.  I thought the face from PK-1357 Sweet on You Face Assortment set would look adorable for Yoda so I went for it!  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to add a bit of color to his face. I changed the insert and took out the little notches that would normally hold the gift card and added a base to it.  I will have my girls fill it out before they give it to him.  I tucked in the ribbon behind the card just for the photo but I will have that tied around the gift bag.  All the paper came from WE R's Hip Hip hooray line.
