Crafty Lil' Hands

There is no doubt that DD1 has all the artistic talent in our family.  I can sit for hours trying to figure out layouts, etc and here she goes and makes a card in an hour or less.  The thing that gets me is that she uses scraps!  sheesh!  When I use scraps, I get crap...hence that name "sCRAPs!


Hope you're all enjoying your week!  The weekend is almost here.
Aloha no,

July OCS

Here's my July OCS for my partner, Jovita.  It's a shaker-easel card!  Hope she likes it.  This shaker card was so much easier to make using Joy U's new technique!  Thanks for the tip, Joy!

I haven't gotten the hang of making these shakers.  I feel like Goldilocks...this one has "too many" beads, and this one has "too little" beads, but, this one is "just right!"  Except that I have not gotten to the "just right" shaker yet!  But, I will....I hope!


Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

Graduation Card

This graduation card was a family effort!  DD2 did the coloring, I did the embossing, stamped the sentiment & added the bling.  DD1 colored the background and pieced it all together. Now that was fun!

Hope everyone is enjoying their last days of summer!

Copic Blog

Coloring skin has always been a challenge for me.  How to get the right color, etc.  While blog hopping recently, I came across this wonderful blog....Color Me Copic, here.  You've probably already seen it, but, I thought I'd share it anyway just in case you haven't seen it.  They've got some wonderful tutorials.

Summer is almost over.  That sure was fast!

Gone beachin'

Champions!

DD1 played in a basketball tournament-12U girls division this past week and they took 1st place! Last year they bombed out in the playoffs so it was really nice for them to go all the way this year.


Stay hydrated and cool during these hot summer days!
Have a wonderful day!
