PTI Stamp-A-Faire 2016

Hello everyone! I'm excited to be kicking this morning off with all my friends at Papertrey Ink for Stamp-A-Faire 2016! Woohoo!  

I spent the last few days getting my room ready for the big day! 

The table you see in the bottom of the photo I added just for today.  It holds all of my PTI stamps, dies and paper.  

This year is the first year someone has joined me for the day.  

Say hello to my new stamping friend, Jill.  

And now on to my first project of the day.  

SAF 2016: MASTER COLOR RECIPES

I chose this as my inspiration 

And this is my finished masterpiece! 

You can find all the information, challenges and prizes on the PTI Blog, Capture the Moment. 

Now off to look at the next challenge!

MFT camp create!

Today I am sharing day 3 of camp create.  

Today's challenge is to use inlaid shapes. 

So fun! 

This is the first time I tried this technique. 

I love the technique, but I'm not entirely happy with how my card turned out.  

I adhered the inlaid just a little off but it really shows, so I'm sure I won't be using this card, but I wanted to share my first attempt at the technique.  I'll do better next time and we were headed to the amusement park so I didn't have time to remake the card today. Isn't summer camp fun! 

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow at camp!

MFT Camp Create!

Today's camp project is to color on Kraft. I have to say I love this technique.  I took advantage and tried all my different brands of colored pencils to see how they all colored kraft cardstock.  I really like my poly colors best, but I found others worked just find to have lots of different shades of colors.

Here is the project I made for today's challenge.

I also used this project for the 30 day coloring challenge.  

And that brings me to today's badge I earned :) 

Because I'm cool like that!

My Favorite Things Camp Create!

Today's camp craft is to fantastic foiling.  

You can watch the fun video and play along on the MFT Blog.

I used foil to add a strip of shine to my background.  

I think the gold color adds the perfect touch for this cute little fall image.  

I am also playing along with the 30 Day coloring challenge so I colored this image using copic markers.  

 I love earning these cute little badges:)

I'll see you soon for my next camp craft! 

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for commenting, I really do appreciate it!

Altenew June Inspiration Challeng

Hello everyone, Today I am playing along with the June Altenew Inspiration challenge to make a card for my CCC swap partner.  This is the inspiration image.  I love the cluster of flowers and the soft yellow.

I made my card using water color paper.  I stamped a simple cluster of the flowers and leaves from the stamp set Beautiful Day.  Then I stamped an individual outline of the largest flower and colored it with Peerless water colors.  This is my first time using the Peerless water colors.  

And here is a close up of my painting. I think the hardest challenge for me is to let my water colors dry between switches colors.  I tend to just want to keep going until I'm finished.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

MAKE IT MONDAY #253: REVERSE STENCILING

Hello everyone, this is my second attempt at reverse stenciling.  My first card I finished and put in the mail and forgot to take a photo.  This was a challenge for me, I have very few stencils and the ones I do have aren't really background type stencils. So I had to improvise and use the monogram stencils from the Don't Forget to Write kit.

I actually used pale blush and the new parakeet green. 

 

I did use watercolor paper and love how the texture looks.  

Thanks PTI for another fun challenge.

MFT Camp Create 2016 Wonderful Watercolor

Hello everyone, today I'm posting my Wonderful Watercolor project for camp create. My computer decided it needed a little vacation from blogging and wouldn't let me post earlier.

I've been wanting to try water coloring.  I had the paints but never bought paper, finally I have all the supplies so here is my very first attempt at water coloring.  Thankfully there was an awesome tutorial to follow along.  Click here to learn more about MFT Camp Create and watch the video.  


 I didn't have the outline set so I used the Pretty Poppies and just used third generation stamping for my outline image.

And here is a close up.  I added a little orange to add the highlights to my poppies.  

I love how it turned out for a first try.  

So here is the badge I earned for today's Camp Create Project. 

Thank you MFT and the awesome camp directors! 

I'm having an awesome time at camp!

MFT Camp Create 2016

 Hi everyone, this week I'm at summer camp with MFT (yes they are some of my favorite things!) Click on the image to learn more about coming along to camp.  

Today's camp project is to use glitter.  Who doesn't love glitter!

I made this card for today's project.  

I started with kraft ink to stamp the background using MFT Succulent stamps. 

Then I die cut the same catus using a sticky foam sheet.  

These work great with glitter. 

I finished by coloring the pot with copic markers and adding a sentiment form the same set. 

Here is a close up for you.  

So today I earned my Glitzy Glitter Badge! Woohoo!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday 252

Hello everyone, 

I am loving all the fresh spring veggies that are ready in the garden.  What I was not ready for was the huge black snake I found in my strawberry bed yesterday! If you have a garden I hope yours stays critter free!  Of course my husband is away so the snake is tormenting me.  I have seen it 3 times already just walking out to our driveway.  I will not be in the gardens until he gets home to do snake removal!  

So yesterday I spent the day with a guest.  Tiana joined me for the day.  We had an eventful day.  First we went on a hike with the puppy, tended the flower beds, picked fresh veggies for our lunch then we played along with this weeks Make It Monday.  

This is the card she made after watching the video.  I had to explain that I didn't have the exact die so she would have to chose a different word.  

She did fabulous for her first card.  

And then here is my card.  

And a close up to show my shading.  

Thanks so much for another fun Make It Monday PTI.  

Hope to see you all again soon!
