Bling Monday

Happy Monday All,


The Cuttlebug Spot has gone bling crazy this week. Nilda asked us to create using glitter, glitz or bling. I love rhinestones, so it was easy for me.



I made this for my Niece's college graduation. The stamp is from Inkadinkado called Personal Expressions. It looks like 3 separate circles, but it is one stamp. I love the round patterened circles. I stamped it three times, on different colors, then cut it out around each of the obvious borders. I popped each circle up on top of the one underneath with dimensionals. The rhinestone circles are from Heidi Swapp. I used my fav Sizzix embossing folder Snowballs and a Martha Stewart Border punch.



There is a blog hop going on, too. So go on over to The Cuttlebug Spot and check it all out.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
Marcy

Surf's Up, Dude!

Hi All,

Today is Saturday, so of course, that means a new sketch is up over at Unscripted Sketches. This adorable little surfer dude is available from Stretch N'Bubbles here. He is one of Alison's Little Imps. They are all so cute. I colored him with copics. The DP is from last year's Mambi.

Here is the sketch:



I also submitted this for the challenge over at Copic Colour Challenge



Go on over to US and check out the beautiful creations my DT sisters made for you this week!

Have a great weekend.

Hugs,

Stretch N' Bubbles BLOG HOP

Hi Everyone,

Today is a special Wednesday over at Stretch N' Bubbles...We are having our first Sketch Challenge Blog Hop. If you came here from Jane's blog then you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon the hop by accident, please go over to the SNB blog and start there. Be sure to leave comments on all the DTs posts along the way to be eligible for some great prizes!

Stretch N' Bubbles is also excited to announce their new Weekly Sketch Challenge. Each week there will be a new sketch designed by Alison for you to play along with. You can use ANY SNB image (if you don't have any, you can pick up a new freebie every Wednesday). You can combine that image and the SNB sketch with any other challenge of your choice. Just post your entry to the SNB Sketch Challenge Blog and you're in the running for a weekly top three award. A random winner will be chosen each week as well and that person will win any SNB image of their choice!!


Here is the Sketch:



As you can see, I took some liberty with the sketch, but it looks pretty close, I think. I printed the image of Sea Turtle (you can find him here) using Microsoft Digital Image program -- very easy -- just copy, paste and line them up the way you want. I printed it twice so I would have the additional turtle to cut out and pop up as the "special" one. I colored all these cuties with copics and added some stickles to the special one. The sentiment was computer generated.

Be sure to leave a comment on this post. I will choose a winner on April 14 and that person will win the adorable Sea Turtle image I used on my card. Leave comments on the other DT's blogs, and you have a chance to win their images, too. Once you make it through the whole hop you will be in the running for the whole blog hop winner which means you get to select any 4 images of your choice from SNB.

Your next stop on the hop is Katheryn. After you've visited all the DTs blogs, and left comments, we'd love for you to play along with our first ever sketch challenge.

Have a great day.
Hugs,
Marcy

LIPPY

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that the Easter Bunny was good to you and your family.



I made this card using an adorable digi image named Lippy. You can find her at the Stretch N' Bubbles store here. Isn't she just too, too cute?

I colored Lippy with copics and added some Diamond Glaze to make her lips full and shiny! Hee Hee. I sponged some Studio G ink around the edges of the image and the sentiment which was computer generated. A few Primas, rhinestones and brads and she's done!

Don't forget to come back Wednesday for Stretch N' Bubbles first Blog Hop.

Hug,
Marcy

TREASURE HUNT!!

Hi Everyone,

Today is a special Unscripted Sketches post...it is our one year blog-iversary!!
To celebrate we are having a treasure hunt! Find the treasure and you can win a prize...fun!
Go on over to the US blog and check out all the news.

This week's sketch was great. It was really easy to work with.




This layout features my nephew, Shane. He wasn't feeling well one day while I was visiting in Florida. I found him fast asleep on the bathroom floor by the shower door. He fell asleep while waiting for his Mom to come out of the shower stall! We were all hysterical.
I cut the title with Cuttin' Up and then used a white pen to give it some doodle interest.
I used Animal Kingdom for the alligator, which was practically made to match his PJs! I outlined the gator with a Pigma Micron pen and chalked it up for some shading. I cut the leaf using SCAL.



Have a great weekend.

Hugs,
Marcy

Watch for Saturday's special Unscripted Sketches BLOG-IVERSARY!!

Copic Colour Challenge #57

Good Tuesday Morning,

I recently found the Copic Colour Challenge blog. This is the first time I have submitted to one of their challenges. I really like the colors for this week. If you don't have the exact colors you can chose similar colors. I happen to have the colors this week.



Here is my layout. Again, my nephew Shane. He is just so adorable! He make me smile just thinking about him. He is like a cave boy -- all fun and wild! I colored these images from Doodle Factory with copics. His name was stamped with an old foam alphabet set from Making Memories.





Have a great day

Hugs,
Marcy

This image just makes me laugh. She is a free digi available from the uber talented Alison at Stretch N' Bubbles. I colored her with copics. The sentiment is computer generated. I cut the flowers from Cuttlebug dies (can't remember their name, sorry). I also used the border embossing folder Just My Type. You can find this image here.

Have a great day.

Hugs,

Here is this week's sketch:



Here is mine:



This is a Magnolia stamp I bought while I was in Florida a few weeks ago. I just love her. I colored her with Copics. All the flowers were white and I used the Copics to color them to match the DP. The flourish was cut with Tim Holtz's new Sizzix die called Elegant Flourishes. I added flat back pearls from Recollections. The background for the image was made with Cuttlebug's Swirl folder.

Have a great day, everyone.

Hugs,
Marcy
