Tellen's Place Wednesday Challenge - At The Beach!


It's Wednesday!  Time again for another Tellen's Place challenge!  Thank you to all of those who participated in the "Tag It" challenge.  It was great to visit everyone's blog to see takes on different tags.

For this week's challenge, since we are almost in summer mode, the challenge is "at the beach." Your creation should have a beach theme to it. Think sand, sun, surf, the ocean!  Be sure to link your creation (not your entire blog) over to the challenge blog to good ol' Mr. Linky by next Tuesday, May 25th at noon PST.

I haven't done a scrapbook layout in awhile.  I thought this challenge would be a good one to do to have ready when me and my family hit the beach this summer.


I used a lot of materials from my old stash for my page, which was good as I am trying to use up my stash.

Supplies:
Bazzil cardstock
American crafts designer paper
Embellishments from Jolee's
Letters from Colorbok

Edward and his friend playing in the sand were colored with the following Copic colors:
E00, YG63, E37, Y17, B45 and E33

Jessica and her friend in their cute bathing suits were colored with the following Copic colors:
E00, YR04, Y17, E37, YG63, R20 and the colorless blender

Be sure to check out the rest of the team's creation for "summertime" inspiration:


I would like to say a special "welcome back" to DT member Tanisha, who came home safely last month after serving in the Navy for sometime, with a special trip to Haiti to help out the quake victims there. Glad you are back Tanisha!

Thanks for stopping by!

Last Valentine's Day Card....

For details on this week's Robyn's Fetish Saturday Challenge blog hop, click here!

It's always bittersweet when I make the last card for a special holiday or particular day.  This particular day is Valentine's Day.  I really enjoy making paper projects for this day, especially since my daughter's school has a great party and gives out homemade Valentines to the teachers and the kids. :)

I am combining two challenges this week in honor of Valentine's Day:

1) Mojo Monday - Sketch to use is below:


2) Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Guess what the theme is? Happy Valentine's Day!  Entry should include one PB image and/or sentiment.

Here is my card for entry to both challenges:

Red and pink cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from Best Creations, Inc. The Penny Black image and sentiment is from the "Piece of My Heart" collection, cut using my Nestabilities small square and small scallop square die-cuts.  The PB image was colored with the following Copic colors:
E00, E33, R20, R85, and the colorless blender

Ribbon is from American Crafts. I punched out the heart border, using my Martha Stewart punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Robyn's Fetish - Wacky Wednesday



I am excited to present my first creation as DT member for Robyn’s Fetish. It is Wacky Wednesday and on Wednesdays a freebie digi image is given out to use to your hearts content.

Here is this week's cute freebie - Me and My Bear!



Here is the card I created with the image, inspired by my daughter, who carries around her stuffed Curious George everywhere. :)



The design of the card is taken from a sketch from Mojo Monday:



The cardstock is from Bazzil. The pink with white hearts designer paper is from American Crafts. The multi-colored hearts designer paper and sentiment are from K and Company. The ribbon is from May Arts.

The image was cut using my Nestabilities petitie oval and petitie oval scallop die-cuts. I colored the image with the following Copic colors:

E33, E35, E37, RV32, RV34, E00 and the colorless blender. I also added in some sparkle, using my At You Spica red pen for the girl's hearts on her dress. I used my Sakura glitter pen to decorate the oval scallop surrounding the image.

To get the Me and My Bear image, go to the challenge blog to pick up the image.

RV32, Rv34, E35, E37, R59, R85, E00, W1 (shadowing Tilda), and the colorless blender. I also used my At You Spica pink pen for some glitter on Tilda's wings and outfit. I also used my Sakura glitter pen for parts of her dress.
