Friendship Survives

Hi!

Today's challenge over at MSB blog is to do a Sketch Challenge.

Those are always my fave because you aren't limited by color. Just your imagination because with a sketch you can always adjust the size as long as everything is where it should be.

The top image is a new release and the bottom is one of my faves from MSB. And the sentiment is one that I created myself. Still have to figure out what sites are good for typing my own sentiment at. It's tough since I'm currently limited to the fonts on paint.net and Google documents.

Oh, also if you could please vote for me over at SouthernBellaFMS for July Featurebella. I'm Contestant# 3.

Materials Used:

Stamps: Modern Sugar Blvd

Paper: Wausau paper, CM Cardstock Honeydew, Raspberry, Cotton Candy, Basic Grey Sultry 6x6 paper pad Ink: Copic E00 Skin White, R00 Pinkish White, R11 Pale Cherry Pink, R35 Coral, Sharpie, Bic Mark-it Yellow Blaze, Lemon Bliss, Tiki Hut Tan, Honey Brown, Woodsy Brown, Fandango Pink, Pink Flamingo

Espresso-ly wonderful MSB

Hi!

This is definitely one of my favorite MSB images.

The challenge for Saturday over at MSB is a sketch challenge.

Yes! Those are my favorite types of challenges, that and recipe challenges.

And I finally got to use my Basic Grey paper pack. I'm not really a paper pad
type of person so this is actually a small pad, it's 6x6. I prefer 12x12. I got
the paper pad because I had been doing the Basic Grey blog challenges but realized
that I didn't have that much Basic Grey paper.

Also this sentiment is great don't you think? DRS Designs gave it to me for FREE
just for submitting a tip for their Tips and Tricks by You and Me segment.

Oh, I got a chance to use my new Sharpie markers. My only pet peeve with them is that
it does not say on them what color it is that I'm using. I can tell you that it is in their pack
of 25 markers.

You will find the sketch challenge here on Saturday. Also, if you're card gets picked you win 2 FREE digis of your choice. How cool is that?

Materials Used:

Stamps: MSB Precious Coffee Shop, DRS Designs

Paper: CM Cardstock Honeydew, Cactus, Raspberry, Basic Grey Sultry Ink: Copic R00 Pinkish White, R11 Pale Cherry Pink, E00 Skin White, BV04 Blue Berry, Bic Mark-it Petal Pink, Desert Rose, Honey Brown, Prairie Berry, Lime Sorbet, Margarita Green, Woodsy Brown, Midnight Navy, Sharpie Accessories: DCWV All Dressed Up Lipstick, Recollections

Day in the Garden

Hi!

Well, unlike me this cute MSB loves to spend time in the garden. So she reminds
me of my mom or mil. They both love to spend time with their plants.

Me on the other hand I was totally born with a black thumb. It's so bad that my
dh is the one who has to water my bamboo.

I actually killed cactus. Not on purpose it's just I'm not good with any type of
plants.

The challenge today at MSB is to do a Business Envelope size card. Obviously,
I didn't do that. But it does seem like a fun challenge. Plus, if you participate in the challenge, the winner gets to pick 2 FREE Digis of their choice. How fun is that?

Mostly I didn't do it because all The Sugars were given this background stamp to use
on their card. And I've had this digi girl since Round 2 of the tryouts for MSB. And once I saw this background stamp and knew that my MSB It's a Garden Thing stamp just had to go in there.

Materials Used:

Stamps: Modern Sugar Blvd It's A Garden Thing, The Potting Shed

Paper: Wausau Bright White, CTMH Ink: Copic BV04 Blue Berry, W2 Warm Gray No.2, YG11 Mignonette, Bic Mark-it Pink Flamingo, Petal Pink, Tiki Hut Tan, Woodsy Brown, Honey Brown, Midnight Navy, Lime Sorbet, Adobe Orange, Harvest Orange, Rambunctious Red, Lemon Bliss, Yellow Blaze, Cloud Nine Grey, Stone Grey, Uniball Silver

Look at what just got released ...

over at Modern Sugar Blvd.

I've been waiting to show these stamps to you. Well, I did get
to show one of them to you earlier. But now I get to show them
all to you.


You want to know a secret? For the t-shirt I took a stamp of a baby onesie and cropped it to fit in the dryer. I showed a picture of this card earlier here.
With more details. Including a close-up of the washer.





Happy Crafting.

MSB Release Day

Hi!

Sorry I'm late posting this I had to work.

Been packing since 9am - 5pm. Didn't get home til just now.
That's what happens when you work at the UPS Store.

Just a crazy day. And no relief person today so I had to work
ALL Day today. Usually if I have a relief person I try to get out
earlier.

But I think the Owner started noticing that on my time sheet. waa waa
The days when there's 2 of us on a Saturday it's slow and DEAD
as a doornail.

Anyway, that's not why you're here.

You want to see the new digi stamps don't you?

Here are the ones I got.




Don't you love the background paper. I'm going to write a Tutorial about it for Papercraft Planet.



Aren't they too sweet. Especially the Angel cake it looks good enough to eat.

You'll definitely want to go check on what the rest of the DT did because we
didn't all get the same digis.

Happy Crafting.

MSB Seussical Boots & Challenge #4

Hi!

It's Saturday and you know what that means.

There's a challenge on the MSB blog.

This time the DT was challenged to use this stamp of the garden/rain boots.

The boots look so whimsical it reminded me of Dr. Seuss so that's how
I colored them and picked out the designer paper to go with it.

Plus, that's not the only thing going on over at MSB today.

It's also release day. There are so many new digis being released today it will make your head spin.

I will post about that a little later as I have to get ready for work.

I know on a Saturday? Most of you are probably still in bed or wish you were.
