Kenny K is da Bomb!

I've loved KennyK for a long time... but now I love him more!  For one, he left me a really sweet comment... Second, he's from the Boogie Down (the Bronx) just like me!  And last, I just found his "other" KennyK website, and he is just so much more than I had imagined!  His work is everywhere!  You should check him out...    http://www.kennyk.com/  
This one is for you Kenny:

I'm Tickled Pink over Lindy's New Colors!

Here's a quickie... This adorable image is from Kellie's "Tickled Pink Stamps."  I've been wanting to do something fun with the new "Drink Me Silly" set that Lindy's Stamp Gang just released.  When I saw "Lil Evie" I knew she was it!  

I only used three out of the five in the "Drink Me Silly" set
A Bit O' Bubbly
Cosmopolitan Pink
My Mojito Green

Exciting Stuff!

I am so pumped! I recently found a great blog and awesome graphic design artist.  Her name is Cheri @ Graphicat Designs.  She is fresh and fearless and exciting, and I have fallen in love! LOL!  Her creations are "out of the box" and edgy, and with just the right touch of attitude! And maybe, just maybe... she might be a bit much for the more mild mannered, hahaha!  But I love how she addresses that in her blog in "A Small Disclaimer".

Well, I couldn't help myself and purchased an image.  I then decided to join her "sketch challenge," and I noticed that she mentioned that she was thinking of adding some members to her Design Team.  I contacted her, sent her some pics of my work, and told her I'd love to be considered for a spot on her mad crazy talented team! She so graciously offered me a guest spot, and I am simply delighted!

Here's my submission for her June Sketch Challenge at her brand spankin' new sketch challenge blog, please let me know what you think, and please go check Cheri and her Crafty Catz out and join the challenge!

Another late night...

I finished two more cards today!  I am so addicted... I can barely believe it!  Today I basically ran out of work as soon as the kids were gone.  I ran to Michael's and picked up a few sheets of paper and a bag of sand for my next ATC swap.  I made dinner in record time, got everyone to the table, checked-in on every one's day, wolfed down my food, and bailed out of cleaning and headed straight to the scrap room... is that obsessive or what!? Lol!  All because I don't want to miss the deadline for submitting a project to a few blogs I've been following.  So here are my cards,  let me know what you think, and thank you for stopping by!

Up All Night : )

So it's 3:30 am and I'm still in my scrap room!  My sister and I took our first Copic class yesterday, and I haven't put the markers down yet! Hahaha! But to my defense, I scrap in the laundry room, so at least I've finished ALL the laundry!  Between loads, this is what I've completed:

This image is from Kenny K (Download Diva,) and I used the BoBunnyMama-Razzi Collection.  I used copics to color the image, and Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays to paint over the hair, the clothes, and the flowers.  I embossed the chipboard swirl with two-toned moonglow powers in Desert Moon Copper Pine from LSG! : )

Another image from Kenny K. (Queens Cutie) and the paper is Stella & Rose - Mabel collection.  Again used the copics for the image and then sprayed it all with Glory of the Sea Gold... wish you could see the glimmer, sorry :(

This image is from Make It Crafty (Ginger Housewife) and paper from K&Co. the Cut&Paste collection.
The flowers were sprayed with the "about to be released" colors from
Lindy's...they are the Blue Hawaiian Blue, and the Pretty in Pink Pink!
By the way the new sets will be out soon, AND will be available at an introductory price... so get ready to shop! Lol!
