I'm Blue

Actually tickled pink:)

Because I had help on this creation from Jessica

She actually created the border for me in Photoshop.

Yes, you heard me correctly, she learned how to manipulate 

brushes this week.

I kept her close after getting out of the hospital last Tuesday so we 

spent lots of time in the studio.

Her little mind just absorbs everything and it is very important

to keep this girl busy!

Anywho, want the crayon look with a PS Brush

here is what to do;

Pick up your Heavy Smear Wax Crayon found in your

dry media brushes, select color and get creating.

The sketch used is an OWH sketch

you can find it here

OWH sketch 128

The stamp set used is the July subscription set from

Stamps of Life

Crayon2stamp

All colors are SU some may be retired. 

 I know, I have not purchased from

them is so long I don't even know what is current. 

 Shame on Me!

Happy Stamp Day, God Bless!

Shellibrate!

Cleaning up the studio today so I can get started on August projects.

I picked up this little guy I had laying around, he is a 

submission throwback.

That is okay cause I love him and my Nephew is sure to as well.

I have a big GRIPE to tell you about today.

This pennant maker from Epiphany Crafts is not such a good thing.

I bought it thinking how wonderful it would be.

NOT!

They need to work on an adhesive formula that sticks!

I went to photograph the items and I had epoxy stickers everywhere 

except where they should be. 

 What really ground my gears

is when by fluke a sticker stuck well 

to a project it did not belong on. 

 Gasp!

So that is my heads up for you today, 

great concept poor 

execution.

Thumbs down for this product until a new formula of adhesive is released.
Tombow Mono Multi Saved the day!

On a lighter note I am so very pleased with my subscription
to the stamps of life.
Another cute stamp set arrived this week, I have inked it up and
will show you a glimpse soon.
Head over to The Stamps of Life see what is new.

I know this card is not made well, I still feel like ugh!!!!

Anyhow, it was inspiring and got my creative juices flowing.

Just wait to see where he swam off to from here.

Wink, Wink;)

I actually layered the circle nesties to make the circle frame.  

Yikes, I have not done that in a long time!

This makes the turtle sit on the inside of the card chilling in his cool pool.

I dusted of my Copics and colored just a smidgen.

The inside...

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless!
