Memorial Weekend

Hope all my American friends are having a great Memorial Day weekend!

I am in Regina this weekend teaching Copic Certifications and having a fabulous time!

I am showing off an extra early sneak peek at a new release for June 5th at My Favorite Things. I was asked to do this project for the Copic blog which is part of a blog hop for Operation Write Home.

Here is just the first photo (to tease you) that is part of a whole copic tutorial that you will be able to find on Copic's Blog this weekend.

Be sure to hop on over there and check it out! You will be able to find this adorable stamp on release day by clicking on this link June 5th at MFT!

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the tutorial :)

VIP Product Tour

It is VIP time again with My Favorite Things! It is a "fun in the sun" themed collection this month. Yes, summer is coming! Yay!

I used the "hula girl" and stamped her with tuxedo black memento ink directly to this Clementine paper from Cosmo Cricket. The sentiment is stamped with Memento's newest color Pistachio...love it!

I colored her with my copic markers...did you know that I used only the "E" family to color her? I love that earth family. I used E000,02,07,11,13,19,42,44,97. I used a bit of blender for fading away to white in my ground. I also used the peach and mint spica pens for some sparkle in the grass skirt and the flower in her hair. Speaking of flowers......
Did you spot that new Die-namics? It is the Hibiscus Die-namics...perfect for those tropical projects.

Make sure you check out all the designers today, you can find the list on the MFT blog! Happy VIP shopping!

Do you recognize one of these? My kids don't remember a time when phones had cords...lol!

I had a chance to play with this sweet Die and Stamp set today and thought it was a sweet reminder of the past. All supplies are listed below.

One of the fun little details is the coiled cord. I just wrapped some fine gauge wire around my paper piercer and the attached it to my phone.

Feeling a little sketchy today? Here is a fun one from My Favorite Things. I inked up one of the newest A la Mode girls (Lightbulb moment) and colored her with my copics.

I love that she is holding nice "warm" light in her lightbulb....it must be an incandescent one...

Pretty Up $3 Flip Flops

My daughter and I shopped at Old Navy yesterday and we both picked up some flip flops (buy 2 pair for $6). Plastic and plain, crying out for some fun flower decor!

I had some pretty fabric that I ran through my Xyron to add adhesive to the back and then added bubblegum felt to the backside of the fabric. This added the rigidity that I was looking for.

Next, I cut out the flowers (in my cuttlebug) with the MFT Large Royal Rose Die-namics, created the flower shape and hot glued into place. I added some felt leaves and a rhinestone for a little extra decoration. The WARM sunshine is here and now I have my flip flops ready to go!

Below is a side shot so that you can see the pink felt backing my fabric. Supplies are listed below...Have a fun sunny Monday!

At The Farm

 A fun little 3D project today. I have this sweet little chipboard barn from Melissa Frances that was just begging to be altered. I covered it with my papers from the Kitschy Kitchen Collection by Melissa Frances. I then added some sweet accents using stamps and Die-namics from My Favorite Things. The full supply list is at the bottom of my post.

Here is a close up of the sweet little signage I added to the farm and below is a close up of the tree I added complete with a little bird :)

It is a beautiful day here, so I am off to play with my new camera. Hope to share some shots with you this weekend.

Have a great day!
