Charity

Happy Monday Everyone,



I hope you had a great weekend. We had a break in the weather here for a wee bit in NY. It's great to be able to walk outside and not frizz up in a nano second!



Anywho, this beautiful girl is named Charity and she was designed by the talented Alison over at Stretch N' Bubbles. Charity is one of the new Zen Collection images and you can find her here in the store.


I colored her with copics and added a nice thick coat of Diamond Glaze to her peaches. I also sponged chalk around the image to add some soft color. I cut her out with Nesties Labels 10.

I also entered her into this week's Color Throwdown


Have a wonderful day.
Hugs.

Fun In The Sun

Hi Everyone,

I haven't made a "Designer Purse Album" in ages, but when I saw this week's colors at Color Throwdown, I knew I had to make a summer album. I used to make these purse albums all the time to sell on Ebay. I sold scrapbook layouts and albums for years, but I got tired of the frantic craziness of the Ebay "life" so I stopped. Now I only create for myself and my family and friends.

Anyhow, as I said, I haven't made one of these beauties in a long time so I made a template that reminds me of a beach bag, cut chipboard pages and dived right into selecting papers and embellishments.

I made this album for my neice in Florida. I do all her scrapping and she appreciates it so much, so I love to create for her. We are going to visit them next week and I will give this to her when I arrive. I put my great nephew, Shane on the cover, but the rest is blank so we can add pics that we take together while we are there.



I used this week's sketch from Mojo Monday for the cover.





I will post the rest of the pages tomorrow.

Have a great one,
Marcy

How Sweet You Are

Hi and Happy Thursday,

Isn't this the cutest little Fluff Ball ya ever saw? It is a freebie image from Alison over at Stretch N' Bubbles blog. Alison has changed how she distributes her free images. It's called a progressive challenge. I've noticed many digi stamp sites are doing this lately. It's easy to follow...The first Wednesday of every month Alison will post a freebie digital image. All you have to do is make something using that image.

When you finish, post it on your blog or on line gallery and upload it to the link on the blog. You must also link your post to Alison's store. Then the next week, Alison will give you another free image. You follow the same rules and you will receive the next free image. And so on! So to sum it up...you must use the first image to be eligible for the rest of the month's freebies. It sounds complicated, but really it's easy!

I chose colors from the new Color Throwdown challenge #95.



Have a great day.

Hugs,
Marcy
