It's been a while...What's New?!

 Wow I can not believe it's been a year since I last wrote or post a Blog.  Let me tell you, it's been a rollercoaster ride.  The last part of 2019 I started a new job, which I had to reschedule our life! My older son started Kindergarten, now he's in First Grade and doing the full time virtual learning.  My other two kids started pre-K and pre-school.  It's been a trip! Than lots more changes when the New Year started; SIP, wearing mask everywhere you go, and not allowed to see anyone unless you stay or are 6 feet apart.  Fast forward a year! We are still living in the Pandemic. Trying to figure a whole new schedule balancing my older son's school.  Him trying to figure how to do school through the intranet, we as parents become the teacher (which I support, respect, and appreciate all what teachers so for our kids), and trying to understand why he can not see his friends at school.  On top of my husband and I decided for the first of the school year for our 4 year

"Arigato" Thank you!

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July long weekend.  Today I wanted to share a card from Lawn Fawn called Let's Roll.  When I saw this set, I had to get my hands on it!! Fun fact about me, I love sushi!! If someone would asked me what you want for lunch, yep you guess it, SUSHI! Enough about food, before I have to run out and grab some to eat right now.  I'm sharing with you all a thank you card that's simple and easy to put together.  I stamped the sushi, plate, and the soy sauce bottle on white 80lbs card stock and used a copic friendly dye ink.  I colored all the images with copic marker, after died cut each images.  Next, I grab a rectangle die from Simon Say Stamp called Wonky, the second from the largest rectangle.  Using Festive Berries distress oxide, blending a single layer in a circle motion to give a little halo effect. Placing all the images onto the white rectangle, than stamp the sentiment "arigato" onto the paper. 

A Magical Day! Lawn Challenge 55

Hello Everyone!! Happy Summer! Can't believe that June is almost over and Summer is finally here! Today I created a card that has fun filled magical theme.  This card that I got the fun inspirational colors from the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #55 . I started stamping the Fairy Friendly set.  This stamp set reminds me of a magical land that any person can dream of going and be filled with joy and happiness.  I started stamping all the images with a copic friendly stamp ink, gina k design amaigam ink .  Coloring all the fairies, flowers and the cute mushroom house in pastels copic colors (if you are interested in what colors I used let me know and I will link them)  The back drop I used a cloud stencil to give an illusion of floating clouds in the backdrops.  The inks I used are the distress oxdie colors: Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers.  Blending the two colors really gave that fluffy cloud feeling.  I set the back drop aside to let it dry for a bit. Once all the coloring wa

Up Up Up and Away Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Number 53

Happy Monday everyone!! I know it's been a while since I did a blog post.  Let's just say life got the best of me and a lot of changes. Anyways, with all the changes, figure I come back with sky challenge from Lawn Fawnatics Blog.    This challenge was a sky theme, so what better way in doing a birthday balloon in the sky.  So let's get right to it! I started off using Distress Oxide Ink the background with blue tones, blending them like a sky effect. Before the inks dry I sprayed water using my mini mister from ranger.  Next I started die cutting all the balloons, clouds and border clouds from Lawn Fawn. The balloons are on red and yellow card stock, as for the clouds they are cut onto vellum.  On one of the vellum has a sentiment, "Happy Birthday" from Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set, that I heat embossed with a navy blue powder.  I layered all the pieces together using either 3D foam tape, double sided tape, and glue. Pretty simple and fun project I pu

Five years fast forward here I'm writing about this stamp set! I started stamping all the Critter in the Forest stamps with a copic friendly stamp ink, Simon Says Intense black ink.   Using Copic Markers to color the Fox, racoon, owl, tree, and mushrooms.  The back drop I used the Stitched cloud backdrop: Landscape die set to add some back drop details.
