Happy Summer Everyone!
Today is officially the first day of summer! Yea!
And Jehanne from Just Some Lines has come up with this darling image perfect for all of your summertime projects ... I think this would make a great banner in a scrapbook! I colored it with copics and put it on this card with baker's twine and a shell ...
ENJOY!
Super Dad
Happy father's day to all the dad's out there ... not that I think a lot of dad's visit my blog (but I do think my dad does occasionally visit!)
I made this card for my Super Husband. I used the Super Dad image from Sweet and Sassy. I pop-dotted the sheild and then also added black bling.
As some of you may or may not know about 8 years ago when we moved and I took a new job my husband agreed to be the primary care giver for my son. This has not been easy as we have struggled through ups and downs, stress, and illness in our son. My husband has been there to run errands for me, clean house, do dishes, do laundry, etc. I am grateful every day for this situation as I work 40-60 hours out of the house every week and sometimes bring work home.
Thanks so much Tony for being such a wonderful Dad and Husband!
ENJOY!
Summertime Sunshine
I used the new Digi Floaty Boy for my card. I colored him with my copics and tore tan and blue paper for a sandy beach and water. I added a sentiment from TAC and cloud die cuts. I pop-dotted him in the forefront of the card.
Of course I just HAD to add glossy accents to his goggles!
ENJOY!!!
Today over on Just Some Lines, we are having another Saturday challenge.
It is a "dotty challenge" ... I guess you could look at this many ways. I took it to be a challenge to use polka dotted paper. I paper-pieced Big Hat Girls 1 and colored her with my copics. I dotted the card with my favorite bling. The sentiment is by TAC.
ENJOY!
We all are so used to printing our digital images on white cardstock ... well why not mix that up a bit??? I tried printing this image out on kraft cardstock and then colored with my colored pencils.
The color really seems to pop on the kraft! I just love this look!
The image that I used is Emo Sophie Stands.
ENJOY!!!
I used an older image from Just Some Lines called Emo Paula Stands. Isn't she so sweet and innocent??? I paired her up with one of my new Sizzix dies called Scallop Lace and my new Sizzix flower dies. I used a greenery punch from Martha Stewart to add some greenery.
I colored her with my copics and sponged the sky background. I added a sentiment and viola ... I love it!
ENJOY!
Thank You!
I love this garden corner that Jehanne just created for Just Some Lines ... I took it and copied it and flipped it prior to printing it out. It makes such a cute garden scene!
I used my copics and added a sentiment from TAC. Just a hint ... it's easier to color in all of these hard and small areas if you take both caps off the 2 ends of the markers.
I am so thankful this week for Mabelle making my week and allowing me to join her Design Team!
Here is my first creation for her design team. I used Cup of Kindness and colored it with copic markers. The sentiment is from The Angel Company. I used glossy accents on the flower centers.
Here is a close up on the flowers with the glossy accents.
You might know Mabelle as one of the brilliant designers for TAC (The Angel Company). She creates these darling images and I am lucky enough to have been chosen for her summer design team.
Our Design Team blog can be found HERE!
Mabelle images are for sale on Etsy HERE!
I am so so so excited!
Thanks Mabelle for this wonderful opportunity to work with you!!!!
Green Flowers
This image from Just Some Lines is called Big Hat Girls 3. I just love her and I thought greens would be the perfect color for this card.
I colored it with my copics. I added a sentiment from a retired TAC set. I added a green ribbon and lots of green flowers. I added little green bling to the center of each flower too.

Sponging A Sky
Hello There!! ....
It's me Chelsea here at Just Some Lines ... today I am going to share with you how to sponge in a sky scene for your card/project.
First I took some post-it notes and used my new Amuse cloud dies to die cut out some clouds. You can go through 2-3 post-it notes at the same time with these dies.
After you cut these out separate them into the separate layers.
Place another post-it note over the main image - trimming to match the image.
Arrange the clouds as to how you want them.
Sponge the area with ink (I like Palette Reflection Blue) until you have the coverage and color that you desire.
Remove the post-it notes and viola! A sponged sky!
Here is my finished card once again ... I used the image Big Hat Girls 2 and colored her with my copics ... the soft sky is just wonderful with this image. I added a sentiment (Tag Tidbits) from TAC.
ENJOY!
Safe Journeys ....
Happy Memorial Day!
This is going out to all of the service men and women serving our country every day ... thanks for all that you do and may you have a safe and fast journey home!
This image is a freebie that can be found HERE (free until 5/31). I colored it with my copics and added some brads and twine. It is such a big and awesome image and sooo much fun to color.
ENJOY!
Baby Buggy
Cute as a Bug
Here is another great image by Bugaboo. It's called Lily Ladybug- Stroller. I colored it with my copics. I added buttons for wheels and some flowers.
I am entering this in the Green, Pink, and Flower Challenge at Creations by Gill this week.
No Place Like Home
This Memorial Day please remember all of the armed service men serving for us overseas right now. May they soon find their way back home, safe and sound!
I made this card for the Sweet & Sassy Challenge using their birdhouse. I colored it with copic markers. I added buttons and bakers twine and a sentiment from a retired TAC stamp set.
ENJOY!

This image is called Graduate Girl. I colored her with my copics and then added a sentiment and a few black gems.

Large Cupcake!
I love this stamp by Paper Source. I got it a while ago and it is a super cute and fast way to make a card. It is almost the size of a card and you just cut out the panel and throw it on a card ... cute, cute, cute. I also added a little bling (of course)!
I made this for a co-worker of mine ... not too sure what her interests are ... but who doesn't like cupcakes!!!
ENJOY!!
Froggy
I had to make a masculine birthday card and thought this image was cute, but yet masculine! It is from Sweet n' Sassy and is called Fenton Frog.
I colored him with copics and added glossy accents to his eyes. Added some buttons to the card as well.
I am entering this into Sweet n' Sassy's hop for masculine cards.
ENJOY!
I absolutely love this dog wearing a hat by Just Some Lines. I needed to make a birthday card for a woman at work and this was just perfect. She has Golden Doodles and this is probably as close as I was going to get!
I colored him with my copics, added a flower and patterned paper.
ENJOY!
Exciting News!!

I colored her with my copics and added some bling!
ENJOY!
Dream a Little Dream
I took this cute image called Angel Teddy Sleeps from Just Some Lines and colored him with my copics. I then added die cut clouds to my blue cardstock ... I love this!!! and then I pop-dotted the image on top. Looks like he is just floating up there in the sky!

Emo Bride and Groom
I hope everyone has enjoyed the Just Some Lines Blog Hop. I know I sure have! And Jehanne has outdone herself with all of the wonderful wedding images that she has created!!
Today I am sharing a card that uses the new Emo Bride and Groom Image. This is a very sweet image for wedding cards, scrapbook pages, invites, just about anything wedding related!
I coplored the cute couple with my copic markers and then cut out the images with a Nestability. I added the stamped setiment, a flower, a button with a floss bow, and ribbon. I love the look of grey and pink ... very sweet for this sweet image!
