Sunshine and Smiles Sent Your Way

Today's a sad day.  It is my last day as a guest designer with ScrappyDew.  I have enjoyed this group of designers so very much and appreciate their patients during my Internet issues.  I would love to at anytime come play again!! 

Good news is.... just because it's my last day with this amazing design team, it's certainly not the last you'll be seeing of ScrappyDew projects, I can't get enough of these characters.

My project today is a summer activity for kiddos.

Recipe:

The adorable little girl is from the Chalk the Walk Pattern file at ScrappyDew.com

Teal and white backgrounds are from Jaded Blossom's die set to create a card to send off this fun summer gift.

and the sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom's Simply Saying's 2 set

I used my usual chalks for added design and used my purple star jelly roll pen for the stitches.

Thanks again Michelle and team, you guys are great!!

Tree House Card

Today I made a simple little card using the Tree House Fun pattern. 

 I can see using this pattern for some more fun designs in the future.

Recipe:

Of course the Tree House Fun pattern :)

I copied the base of the tree and mirrored the duplicate, then welded it to the original to form a card base. 

I scored the tree down the center and ta da! a card was made.  Ha

I ran the bark of the tree and the seat of the swing through my cuttlebug in the wood grain folder.

I also ran the leaves of the tree through my cuttlebug using a curly cue folder.

I used ink to go over the dimensions on the leaves and the bark to add more color.

The rope was cut out on tan paper and then dabbed with ink to give it a frayed effect.

I chalked the edges of the little girl and colored her hair with a garnet atyou spika pen.

I topped her beauty off with gems in her bows and across the front of her dress.

The whole card came together using the Jaded Blossom die and sentiment.

I sure hope you like her as much as I do.

I may even keep this one instead of giving it away.

~Enjoy!~

Spring Banner

I am so excited about this post. I have had this idea since the first day I found the image on ScrappyDew's website. I had to find a way to use just about every image in the set, and we all know my love for banners!

Here is my creation for today's post 

Recipe:

I created the banner background on my silhouette with the free draw tool, cut out in 2 different sizes to layer them

I also cut out the letters using a standard font in Silhouette's Design Studio

The adorable little characters including the bugs on each letter pendant are from the Bug Catchers - 2012 image file. 

I added stitching with a white gel pen on each letter and around the first layer of the pendants.

I added lime green gems to each piece as well and strung it all together with the same color ribbon. 

I can't get enough of these cuties. I'm sure, just like I've said with every other post, I'll be using these ones again!

~Enjoy~

Spa Day Goodie Bag!

Ahhhh, such a relaxing day today...

Today is my second day getting to guest design for ScrappyDew Creations.  I just love the image set I used today.  This set, Spa Day has great images.

I wanted to create something a little different than just another card or banner, don't get me wrong, I love making cards and banners.  I guess I was just feeling a little out of the box when I saw this.

I created a little goodie bag to pass out to a girlfriend who may need a pick me up or a just because kinda treat for a friend.

This spa girl was a lot of fun to put together. I can see using her on many designs in the future.

Recipe:

The adorable spa girl is from ScrappyDew's Spa Day image set

I used Jaded Blossom's die and sentement from their Pamper yourself stamp set for the backdrop

After chalking the edges of her cuts, I used my atyou spika pens by copic to add sparkle to her towel, head wrap, hair, and cucumber eyes.

I topped her towel off with off white jute

I attached her to a 3x6 bag with a zipper top filled with lotion and foot scrub.

I can't get enough of how fun she is.  Stay tuned for more spa days, I'm sure!

 Enjoy!
