Summer Bliss...

Hey there! 

Here's a sweet little card I put together...

The cabin was cut using my Cricut Expression and the cartridge is "Summer Bliss Seasonal".

The clouds, sunshine, roof, chimney are doodled and colored by me. 

I added random stitching and pretty little red roses.

I also propped the door open & you can see wallpaper inside. I used a brass colored brad for the door knob.

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

Acustic Guitar Card... "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks."

Here's a cheerful little 5x5 card I made.  I love guitars, have two of my own and can never resist any music oriented stamps.  This cute little guitar image is by Inkadinkado, I filled it in with Copic's.  The inside is finished off with a 2005 Stampin' Up verse.  The shapes layered under the guitar were cut from Nestabilities dies. The fibers are a random, by the yard, clearance item from Joann's, they were my color inspiration.  Card-base is Bazzill card stock.

Awesome Free Copic Marker Tutorials...

After purchasing my copic markers, I decided I really wanted to get the most out of them, so some lessons were in order.  There's a plethora of free help all over the internet on using and caring for your Copic markers, but I wanted a more structured type course.  That's when I found Debbie Hodge's "Get It Scrapped" site, which features Michelle Houghton, a certified copics instructor. Michelle gives her advice, a series of fabulous tutorials & some of her very own doodles, to help you learn to use your copic markers. 

Michelle is a fabulous teacher and I've been learning a lot.  My goal is to create something with each of my finished pieces from each of her tutorials, until I've created and finished them all!  Then I look forward to taking some of Michelle's other classes offered at her site Creative Passions.  As always, life gets in the way of my fun, so it's been slow going, but here are some of my finished projects thus far (in random order), I will add more as I finish them :):):)
