Doing homework!

So I've neglected some of my homework for the Online Card Class: Summer Card Camp 2, but trying to get caught up this weekend since I'm not oncall...YAY!  I incorporated the colors from the class to follow this week's CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge

Gray CS, Butter CS, My Clever Creations homemade frame, Fresh Squeezed Stamps You Said It Sister, Doodlebug Flutter Friends, Hero Arts Wet Cement Shadow Ink, Studio G sky blue chalk ink, needle pins

Following this sketch...

I had been hoarding that frame for a while and found it perfect for my take on the sketch! This is a quick post before I head to bed...finally!  Hope everyone's weekend is going well and MAHALO for stopping by!

Kitty Bee Designs Mid Inspiration: Congrats

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!  I'm back with more inspiration using Kitty Bee Designs.  So far the entries have been superb and I enjoy seeing everyone's creations!  Here's my card...of course just a little sneaky peek...

I would love it if you hopped on over to see the entire card and check out my design team members as well.  It's sure to bring a smile to your Friday!

Turning One...a big deal in Hawaii!

**Disclaimer...it's a long post due to editing!

Hello friends!  So I had a very productive day of running errands and going school supply shopping!  Anyone else look forward to this?  Now that both my kids will be going to school we had double the list and of course I got more than the list required...eek...I have a thing for office supplies.  Thank goodness for good sales!

On to my card.  My coworker is celebrating her grandson's first birthday and here in Hawaii it is a big deal!  It's an even bigger deal because they are flying in from Arizona to celebrate.  The party is going to be huge with a bouncy house, magic show, face painting and even a shaved ice truck to get the kids all sugared up!  The theme is zoo animals and of course I grabbed my Lawn Fawn set, paper pad and trimmings and went to town using the Birthday Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

I absolutely LOVE the way this turned out.  My husband had the bright idea to use the negative space of the cut out "1" and have the animals peeking out.  The three animals to represent the three squares in the sketch.  This was achieved with a lot of foam tape.  Here's the closeup

That's my own handwriting on the side to give it a little special touch.  Here's the sketch design and if inspired come play along!

Have a very Happy Thursday!  Tomorrow I'll be playing with Kitty Bee Designs again and you won't want to miss it!  Mahalo for stopping by!!

P.S.- Just re-read the Moxie Fab Challenge and forgot the part about all stamps or none at all.  I think it's back to the drawing board on this one!

**Edited at 2:15AM because I was determined to follow the rules...

Lawn Fawn Interlocking Backdrops, LF Critters on the Savannah, LF Bake Me a Cake, LF Sweet Christmas, LF Sally's ABCs, LF Claire's ABCs

This was all done using the same design as my first card with A LOT of masking!  Totally worth staying up to do as I can now go to bed knowing that I followed the rules...hehehe

Procrastinating

Happy Hump Day gang!  It's only day 2 of the Online Card Class:  Summer Card Camp 2 and I've been completely inspired by all the fun designs and techniques.  I made a card that needs to get out to my Colorado sister.  She celebrated her 6 year anniversary over the weekend, and was the inspiration in making this festive card with some techniques I learned.

Fresh Squeezed Stamps Words to Live By, FSS Breath of Fresh Flair, Memento Inks in Rose Bud, Tangelo, Bahama Blue and Pear Tart, Sizzix Chevron Embossing Folder, Archival Ink Jet Black, White CS

The card seems simple, but let me tell you this was my third try in getting the painted/streaky look down.  I wanted that to be my focal point so kept the background simple with the white chevron embossed background. 

That's it for me. It's my day off, but I've got a list of things to do about a mile long.  Hope you guys are all having a very crafty week!

Kitty Bee Designs Challenge #3 Congratulations

Happy Aloha Friday friends!  I'm back for more fun playing with Kitty Bee Designs. I adore playing with Kitty Bee Design stamps and the digis are fun as well because I can make them any size I want!  This was perfect for playing with Shrink Film.  So the idea came from my daughter asking for a bracelet with the Kitty Bee Designs digis and I kept thinking...a bracelet?!? 

Well you'll have to see for yourself and head on over to the blog!  Here's a sneak peek...

This is a little surprise CONGRATS gift for my girl who is playing the part of Slick Cat in the Disney Musical Jr. Aristocats.  She has practiced so hard for her 5 little lines and I'm one proud mama!  This is just a sneak peek so you'll want to head on over to Kitty Bee Designs and as always I promise it will make you smile!  I'd like to explain more, but that would give it away.  Any questions on how to make something like this, just leave me a comment and I'd be more than happy to answer!  Have a great weekend!!!

Feeling Productive!

Aloha Friends!  I was super blessed by an incredibly crafty day and I'm super excited about joining the Online Card Classes: Summer Card Camp 2!  They have a great lineup of designers for the entire month and I can hardly wait.  They had an awesome sketch to follow for their Pre-Class Challenge 1&2 and it just so happens to also follow along the color scheme of the next Pinspired Challenge. 

Kitty Bee Design Floatie Penguin, Lawn Fawn A Birdie Told Me, Amy Tangerine Yes Please paper pad, Inktense Watercolor Pencils, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Glossy Accents, foam tape, atYou Spica glitter pen in Black

Here's the pinspiration photo

I loved the summery feel of the picture and the colors.  The little penguin was perfect for my outdoorsy feel and I had to show a closeup as I stamped the image 3 times to get the layers right.

Isn't that penguin just ADORABLE!?!  Soooo much fun to color and layer for dimension!  That's it for me.  I really should be working on filling some orders, but I couldn't resist another challenge!  HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Thirsty?

Happy Monday friends!  I've been itching to get back into joining more challenges and the next Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger is Scene in Tangerine.  The theme goes perfect with my new Stamps of Life June set!  Once I figured out my stamp set I needed a sketch and went with this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch

Stamps of Life Lemonade2drink, Stickles Rock Candy, Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black, London Fog, and Dandelion, copic markers, Bella Blvd Washi Tape, Bazzill pumpkin CS, pattern paper

Following the Tuesday Trigger that made me thirsty!
