Zombie Eli!
It's time for previews of the August release at C.C. Designs!
I am SOOO excited about the image I used today... a few months ago, Christine posted on Facebook asking for stamp ideas, and I told her my 6 year old son wanted an image named after him. There are characters named Olivia and Abigail, and he thought it wasn't fair that there were stamps with his sisters names, but not his.
She delivered! This is Zombie Eli!
He will be available with the rest of the August release Thursday, August 7th at noon EST.
I wanted my card to look a little tattered like Eli's clothes, so I roughed up the edges, and inked them with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink,
Antique Linen Distress Ink, Pop Dotechno stamper monday lunchtimets, Copics

As for what Eli thought of the stamp named after him? "Mom... he needs bandaids!" :)
We are both hoping to see more Eli's in the future!

Sketch Saturday #321
After a month off from Sketch Saturday, I am back for my week as hostess! :)
I had the pleasure of lining up this month's Guest Designer, my very talented blogging friend, Angela. She can really rock a sketch, so be sure to check out her blog and leave a little love!
I've also designed this weeks sketch...
Pretty simple, but lots of room for embellishing! I hope it inspires you!
I've also found a wonderful sponsor for this week, and he is a new sponsor to Sketch Saturday...
You MUST take a look at his Etsy store! Lots of adorable images, perfect for coloring! And... if you play along this week, you have the chance of winning 2 of these sweet digis for yourself!
Lee was very generous in providing some images for the design team to use, but I opted to use one I purchased a while back and haven't had the chance to color. This is Girl with Flower... isn't she darling!? I paired her with papers from the DCWV Citrus Matstack, and colored her with Copics to match.

Something to Brighten Your Day!
Hi everyone!
You may have noticed my lack of posting lately... I took a little break from most of my design team duties to get settled after our move in June. But today is the start of a new month, and I am back to crafting in full swing!
It's also the start of a new YNS Fun Friday Challenge!
Peggy has designed a fabulous sketch for us to work with this month...
I have been doing much simpler cards lately, and I am loving all the layers on this sketch!
We also have a lovely inspiration photo for you... use one, or combine to two to enter the challenge!
I used just the sketch this time around, and inked up one of my beloved Fhiona's... Rainy Day Fhiona. I also did a bit of paper piecing on her clothes and umbrella... feels like it's been a long time since I've used this easy technique! I used just a part of one of the sentiments from the Flowers for You clear set, and stamped it onto a cut from the Fishtail/Banner Die Set.

Party Time!
It's time for our monthly inspiration post on the Your Next Stamp Blog, and this time we are featuring the adorable and quirky collection of stamps by Franfou Designs. When I looked through the store trying to decide which image to use, I didn't realize how many of these I don't have! Sheesh! Time to add a few things onto the ol' wish list!
One image I do have is this super cute Snorkel Fun Penguin. My little guy loves penguins, so I tend to snatch up any I see! This little guy is really fun and easy to color, and I paired him up with a sentiment from the Monkey See, Monkey Do set.

It's time for some more Fun Friday inspiration over on the YNS Challenge Blog!
Here are the sketch and image we are working with for our inspiration this month...
Fun, right!?
I love this fabulous sketch... such a fun clean layout to really show off a colored image! This week I colored up Ellie Loves Lattes, fussy cut her out and popped her up in place of the square on the sketch. I also tweaked the placement of the sentiment just a tad... this one is from the Thanks a Latte clear set. Do you like how I colored the pattern on Ellie's skirt to match the patterned paper?? :)
