Sandy Summer Fun!

Hey Peeps!

This week's challenge from Flower Soft is ........

Creating a sandy scene using Ultra Fine Sand Flower Soft Sprinkles!  Wow!  What a great challenge!  So I am going through my stash of stamps - you know what - I couldn't find any stamp that would work for what I had in mind, so I discovered - a new site for digital stamps - Make it Crafty!  

I downloaded a couple of beach scenes - got out the ole Copic Markers, my Ultra Fine Sand Flower Soft, Echo Park paper, and viola!  So without further adieu........

Now I am ready to go on a vacation to the tropics!!  {smiles}  If you don't already have Ultra Fine Flower Soft - oh, you should give it a try!  There are various colors and so EASY to work with.

Don't forget to check out the Flower Soft Blog and Flower Soft Facebook page for additional inspiration!  

Laters!

Happy Halloween!!

Hey Everyone!

Happy Halloween!  It is a cold Halloween this year.  It has been a while since I remember it being this cold and I have a La La Loopsy, Pirate, and Lady Bug who would love to have it a little warmer but at least the winds are ceasing!

In the spirit of the holiday I have made a few Halloween Cards!  Using some of my favorite items:  Stamps from La La Land Crafts, Flower Soft, Copic Markers, Silhouette Cameo, and the Ellison Die Cut center at Cord Scrapbook Studio!

First up is an adorable Easel back Frame that I cut from Ellison Die Cut Center, and colored Vampire Luka {La La Land Crafts Stamp - I heart all the Luka and Marcie stamps!} with Copic Markers.  I used Pebbles Halloween paper, added Sage, Lavender Tips, and Black Flower Soft, and a few embellies and VIOLA!

Next  I made this adorable treat bag!  I cut the bag from the Ellison Die Cut Center {this bag is my favorite die cut bag!}  I cut a spider and a spider web from Silhouette Cameo and added Black Flower Soft for an Eerie effect!  Added an Echo Park Sticker, some ribbon and ......

Isn't the spider awesome!   I sure wouldn't want to run into it in some dark corner!

What is Luka without Marcie?  So I made this card with Flying Witch Marcie,  cut out bat frame from Silhouette Cameo added some black Flower Soft,  and some Echo Park paper......

Isn't she the {Cutest} Little Witch?!

Have an awesome Halloween!
