Buttons on the Seashore

Hi, I'm back for another quick post. ;) This week's CA&F Monday Mania is with Sheng. She wants us to use funky buttons on our creations. Please check out the DT's and Sheng's samples on the CA&F link above and hope you get to play along.
I was searching for some funky buttons, and found some that had a pearly-offwhite sheen to them. An idea came to mind. I thought they could look like shells on the seashore. I knew the perfect Anya I wanted to use, Sunshine Anya, and just a simple beach background would do. Hope you get a chance to play along.
I was also inspired by the gals over at Tamiko's. Not knowingly I used the same colors they have for their inspirations: turqoise, orange and yellow. :)
I'm off to Torrance for a bbq. Maybe I'll have some craft stuff to post when I get back. Mahalo for stopping by, have a great Saturday!!

Sk8r Gurl - Colored w/ Deleter Markers

Hi, I'm back for a short post. I got theLater Sk8r set from my good friends and decided to use the Sk8r gurl for this fast card. I colored her using Deleter Neopiko-2 markers that I purchased at Anime Expo last month. I wanted to try these markers to see if there was any difference between them and Copics. As far as I can tell they are pretty good, I will still continue to use the Copics, but it's always cool to try other mediums. For this Sk8r gurl I colored her using Cool grays to color her hair, jeans, part of her top and shoes. These are from the Gray color set. For her skin, beanie, blouse and shoes I used colors from the Skin12 color set. I used Copic 0 to blend here and there, and it works pretty well. I plan to keep these at work so I don't have to lug my big bin of Copics around with me. haha.. I also used Stickles on her beanie, the design on her top and her shoes.
As I mentioned, this is a pretty simple card. Mounted brown and dark peach cs for the background then punched white circles on top. Added a white ribbon and burnished copper brads to the corners, and Sk8r Gurl Anya as the main character. This card can be used for any gurl occassion, just needs a sentiment to go with.

Hope to post the baby carriages I made for my co-worker's surprise shower later today. If not, more than likely tomorrow. For now, have a great Saturday and a wonderful evening!!

Madison's Angel

Madison's Angel Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I have a quik post this morning, then I'm off to work.
A month ago I made this set, frame & card, for one of my closest friend's daughter Madison. She was baptized and I was unable to make the blessed event. I am finally going to be able to give this to her so wanted to share before I forget.
I used Angel Anya, one of my favorite TGF stamps, and colored her with light browns. For her dress, wings, and bow I paper-pieced a piece of embossed cardstock using a flower embossing folder. (Hope you can see the details)
First up, the frame. I went very simple with this design, going for a cloud like background and the words "A Day to Remember" which I cut out using the Hello Kitty Groovy alphabet die cut from Sizzix. For the clouds, I just used Copic B000 and made swirls all around the paper. Love the effect. I mod-podged the frame for the glossy look.
Because I liked the way the frame looked, I thought I would keep the card very simple as well. So simple that I mimicked the Angel and cloud background and then mounted it on a white scalloped circle card. Okie dokie, that's all for now.
I've got volleyball league tonight so there might not be another post until tomorrow. I'm working on some baby stuff and will try to post something soon. Until then, have a wonderful Wednesday. Mahalo for stopping by!!

ISAIAH

Hello, hope you are having a great Tuesday. I have a quick share for now and maybe something later today. Sorry in advance for the poor pictures. I took them inside and the lighting is not so good, so these were the best I could do.
My co-worker asked me to make her some personalized wooden letters for her nephew Isaiah. She gave me carte blanche with the colors and theme, she only asked that there be blue somewhere on them. I chose a color palette of sky blue, brown, white & kraft. I chose to use 2 of the cute Oliver characters from the O&A series & 2 stamps, including the cute stars, from the Spotlight kit which you can purchase directly from The Greeting Farm.
Went for simple and fun this time around. Circles, dots and stars oh my... hahaha Used a couple Cuttlebug embossing folders to give some texture to some of the letters and also made my own dp with the Spotlight stamps and a few punches.

I'll post the supplies when I get home. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day. Mahalo for stopping by!
