CPS 122 Unity owl

I made this card using Unity's June KOTM. I just love the look on this owl. I also used the CPS sketch this week.

Stamps: Unity June KOTM
Ink: Eggplant Envy, Memento Angel Pink
Paper: Eggplant Envy, Guidelines paper pack by PTI

I also have a few things for sale/trade over at SCS, including some Copics, stamps from Unity, PTI, and SU. The prices include shipping and delivery confirmation. If there is anything you really want, let me know your best offer and I'll work with you :-). I have to sell these before I leave for Croatia.

2S4Y Thinking of you

I finally got one precious hour to stamp and clean up my desk a little bit today. We've been busy traveling all over the southeast and on the days we're not, I'm usually catching up on laundry and other things. I'm so thankful for my mother-in-law who makes sure we're fell fed while we're in GA, so that's one less thing I have to worry about.


I made this card for my friend, who just found out she has breast cancer. It's devastating news, but I trust in a sovereign God, who is in control of all things. I hope this cute little bird will cheer her up.

I used my Koh-i-noor pencils and a non-toxic brush cleaner I found at Michael's. It's a safer alternative to OMS, which I can't pack in my suitcase. This is the first time I'm using this coloring method and, though I know I still have lots to learn, I'm more than pleased with the results. I love this new GinaK Pure Luxury Red CS. It has a striped texture. The used this week's sketch from 2Sketches4You challenge.

Stamps: So & So Loves (Unity), Trendy Trees (SU)
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Really Red, Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: GKD Red Pure Luxury CS, cream CS
Other: Brown ribbon by Michaels, MS border punch

Bug Me Anytime Winner and a card

The GinaK release party last night was so fun. I hadn't planned to stay the whole time since I had so much laundry to do and we're headed on a road trip again today. But, I just couldn't leave my compter. :-). The new stamps and cards were just fabulous.

Here's a CAS card I made using the Bug Me Anytime stamp set. There are challenges and questions over at the GinaK forum at SCS. Make sure you participate to win some fabulous stamps from GinaK. This card uses Challenge #2 (to make a one layer card with one embellishment) and Challenge #3 (using the pink and brown color combo).

I did the repeat stamping technique (I'm not sure if that's what it's called) where I inked the stamp once and stamped it several times. I drew the outline using the Koh-i-noor brown pencil and the gaps are done by using an eraser.


Stamps: Bug Me Anytime by GinaK
Ink: Pink Passion by SU, Koh-i-Noor pencil

#15 Brenda!

Please email me your mailing address and I'll get your stamp in the mail. And I will be mailing the papers from my previous blog candy today too. I'm so sorry for the delay, but we haven't been home more than a day or two. I didn't think we would be this busy, but some things haven't gone as smoothly as I had hoped. But, we're enjoying ourselves.

Introducing Bug Me Anytime and Coordinating Paper Packs

Here is my newest set from GinaK Designs called Bug Me Anytime.


And these are the coordinating digital paper packs - one with bright summer colors and the other with soft, pastels.



Come back a little bit later this morning and I'll post the winner of my Bug Me Anytime set.

More Bug Me Anytime Cards

I am still on the road, so excuse me if this is a quick post. I will include the supplies I used later. Here are some more cards using my newest stamp set called Bug Me Anytime. I used the summer, bright color paper pack on these cards. Make sure you leave a comment on my previous post to get a chance to win it.

For the first card, I used Copic markers for the first time! I just got a few to see what the fuss is all about and I must say, I can see myself falling in love with them. The background paper was printed on GinaK Pure Luxury Cream layering wt. paper.


For the second card, I used a sentiment from the latest StampTV kit.

And finally, another simple and quick card. I just love the faces on these bugs.

And don't forget Gina is previewing and giving away more stamps today on her blog. And of course, the release party is on this thread-tonight, June 25th from 7-10 PM Central Time. At 10 PM, 6 new stamp sets, new Pure Luxury card stock (in one very trendy color) and some great new accessories will be available for sale! Gina will be giving away lots of freebies too, including templates and digital papers!
