hey hey hey!

This week at Phindy's Place Friday Challenge Blog the challenge is a color theme... to use "Purple and Teal" on your card or project.
So, for this color combo I pulled out Stampin Up's Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant..then printed some digi paper from GKD and colored it purple and teal with the computer (did that at work with the help of a co-worker!...and of course it was during lunch!!) later that evening, put my layout together and then decided on which Phindy image I wanted to use... Phindy's Summer Cutie Collection is one of my all time favs and so went right to this darling image called Seaside Baby

dont know who makes the little fish and seaweed stamps - found them at a LSS "yard sale"

Copics used are BG 11, 13, 15...B04...E00, 11, 21...V06, 09, 12...C1

Hugs and blessings,

a new "Wee Babie" from Phindy

a new adorable collection called "Wee Babies" by Phindy is being released. I have the honor of debuting this adorable little guy... Hunter!

You can see the new Wee Babies over at Phindy's Blog with a card designed by a fellow team member, new babies are revealed every several days.

 These really are so precious. They are not "fussy" images, very easy to color and work with...Enjoy!

sorry, but my little piece of paper that I stick in my cards with the design instructions and supplies is gone...guess I lost it before I went away and was cleaning and rearranging my craft room...

I'm home and can't find anything LOL - love my nice clean craft room but it's all in boxes stashed all over the house that I have to go through now ... Can I just stay in here and ignore the rest of the mess!!!

hugs

Phri-days are Phindys!

hello hello hello !!!       this week's challenge - Monochromatic
hmmmm,,,,so I pulled out all the B Copics I have from B00-18 and went to coloring (-:

had a really hard time getting this picture - the flower is actually the same color as the baby's outfit and the background is all white with only a very light shading - they are both colored with different Copic combos but you can hardly tell....bummer!! The colors are deeper - oh well, I have a new desk light and I think its throwing off the color...double bummer!

Hope you get a chance to pop over to Phindy's Place Friday Challenge Blog and check out the rest of the Team! They have taken monochromatic to a whole new level - they are sooooo talented!!

Well, as you read this I am headed to North Carolina for a visit with my oldest daughter and her family for the long weekend - so glad to be getting away...
actually she and I are taking an overnight road trip for part of the weekend to the Outer Banks to hunt out a beach cottage we can afford for a week sometime this summer - thought we should go see whats there rather than trust realtor pictures.  We love the beach and havent been there in years and years - so hope we find something!!
Not taking the laptop or any stampin stuff and DEFINITELY leaving work behind...

so see you next week - have a wonderful weekend
hugs

Phri-days are Phindy's!!

and I love it!!

Hi there, Phindy's images are just tooooo dag-gone cute!! She has a whole new collection called "Wee Babies" that she is slowly unveiling - sooooo pop over and see the first one with an adorable card by Dorcas...
This week the Phindy challenge is " Spring is on the way"....wooo hooooo!!!
now my card this week was inspired by several blogging buddies. We were discussing how often we are using our embellishments - sometimes they are becoming the card KWIM and the image is just "in there" somewhere LOL...
so this week - NO embellishments...can you believe it !!! well, I did use a nestie fancy tag...and a MS border punch....and THEN no embellishments - that's almost as hard as doing a CAS card!!

AND while I was trying some stuff on the computer - I used Digi paper for the background from MS Word and also paper pieced her hat and dress with digi papers...learning something new for this ole dog (-:

this sweet image is Phindy's Sleepy Bug
Hope you get a chance to pop over to Phindy's Place Friday Challenge Blog and check out the rest of this awesome team's projects
have a beautiful day - and enjoy your weekend
hugs
