August Blog Hop GIU

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are enjoying this

glorious weekend!

A couple of weeks ago, Maria, from Unity, 

contacted me to find out if I was available to blog

hop with the other girls from May and June.

Uhh...YES!!!

So, I sent my response, and shortly afterwards, 

I received my stamp to work with

for the scheduled hop.

As soon I saw the stamp, 

which I open at the mailbox 

(couldn't wait to get home!!)

ideas were swimming in my head!!

I received the beautiful

Grace Girl, created by Angie Blom.

Here is what I created:

I used papers from Simple Stories Harvest line, 

gold embossed paper from DCWV, 

my leaf punch from EK Success.

She is colored with a variety of watercolors

from Prima and Derwent.

She also has a bit of Stickles.

I really enjoyed coloring her!

So, don't forget to hop along, 

and leave comments on all the GIU girls blogs.

You just might be the lucky winner to

 receive a prize pack from Unity!!

Here is the list:

cute images---seriously cute!

Here is what I made, with 

the colors red, brown and turquoise

I did not have Stampin' Up colors, 

so I improvised! :)

I used my trusty Prismacolors, 

and le voila!

I used papers from Becky Higgins

Project Life Adventure 6x6 pad.

The sentiment sticker is from 

Fancy Pants Designs

True Friend collection, 

as is the button.

Very simple!

came up with CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Yes, I know it is July--

BUT, bear with me, 

Christmas in July!!

A great time to kick start the holiday craft frenzy!

I don't know about you, 

I always seem to run out of tags.

So, I made tags!!

I used mostly scraps of paper, 

and a modge podge of embellishments from my stash.

I am not usually a tag making person, 

but I had lots of fun making these!

Will be making more,

we welcome a new challenge!

HIMCR #207 - Super Scraps Saturday!

Use your scraps!!! 

And this week's sponsor, 

 

The DT were given some images to 'play' with, 

here is what I came up with:

I challenged myself this week to use

papers that I wouldn't normally use, 

along with embellishments.

The papers are from Prima Julie Nutting's line,

and the feather is from Bella Blvd.

The sentiment is from a swap, so

I am unsure of what brand.

The image was colored with 

Prismacolors.

That is it  for me for today!

Have an AWESOME day!

Be safe. Get crafty!

Red, White, and Blue, with a twist!

Howdy doo, folks?

Another glorious day on our

wonderful planet!!

A new Saturday, a new challenge

HIMCR #206 - Red, White, & Blue with a Twist!

Make it Christmas in July!!

The sponsor this week is the ever fun

Scrapper's Delights !

The giveaway is 3 images from Scrapper's Delights

The DT were given to opportunity to 

work with an image from SD.

I choose Shaylee Fairy.

Here is what I came up with

 the theme in mind:

I pulled out some winter themed papers for this little beauty, 

which was colored with Prismacolors pencils.

The papers chosen are from 

Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye.

I used an embossing folder from Sizzix/Basic Grey, 

and 

the snowflake is also from Sizzix/Basic Grey.

The snow flakes in the fairy's hand

 are from Jesse James buttons; 

the blue jewel is from Doodlebug Designs.

The mistletoe are very old--I do not

remember where where I got them!

So, that is my project for this week!

Hope to see your creations!

Have a great day!

Be safe. Get crafty!
