C.C. Designs Birthday Blog Hop!
Today we are having a BIG celebration!
C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps is turning 7!! Seven years ago today, the very first stamps were released... they were Christine's big bunnies, Whiskers. She sure has come a long way!
In the last seven years, C.C. Designs has been graced by the talents of many illustrators, including AmyR, Sweet November, Chubby Pencil, Diem Animals, Love Lolita, Cookie Crumbs, Baby Buds, Drozy's Darlings, Tickled Pink, Paper Pleasing, Pollycraft, Stampin' Spot Studio, Webbie's Words, Cuddle Crew, Mashi's Muffins, Monkey Feet, Shaky A, and Roberto's Rascals.
WOW!!!
In celebration of 7 years, EACH of the blogs along the hop are giving away a $7 Gift Certificate to the C.C. Designs Store! You must leave a comment on each blog to be entered, so let's get started!
If you have arrived here from the C.C. Deisgns Blog, then you are right on track. If not, head over there now, because that is where the hop begins!
I used a couple of newly released goodies on my card today... Fluffy Bear Balloon and AmyR Great Birthday Greetings. I also used this week's MFT Sketch once again... I'm just a little obsessed with this simple layout! :)
I colored Fluffy up with Copics, and paired her with some paper from the Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 pad. The sentiment is stamped onto a cut from the C.C. Cutters Banner Tags Die. I thought about sponging some clouds in behind her, but I kinda like the simplicity of the image against the white for this one.

I colored up the new Easter Chick Lizzie from Whimsie Doodles, and paired her with some super cute chick print paper from the Doodlebug Springtime pad. I used this week's MFT Sketch... it was perfect for a large colored image and a clean and simple layout. Just my style! :)

3D Star Tutorial
I put together a little tutorial over on the YNS Blog using the Whimsy Layered Star Die Set to create 3D stars...
You can see the full tutorial and finished project over on the YNS Blog!
Sweet Froggie
Feels like it's been awhile!! Sorry it's been so quite here... I've felt a little under the weather this past week, so I ended up taking a few days to rest.
I'm back today to let you know that a new challenge is up at the 2 Cute Ink Challenge Blog! It's an easy one this time...
ANYTHING GOES!
I had the pleasure of coloring up Sweet Froggie for my card today. The image has a little bumble bee with the frog, but I ended up cropping it off to fit Froggie in the circle. He is colored with Copics, and a little scene of water and grass was drawn in around him. Still trying to put a dent in my stash of The Angel Company papers, this one is from the Whimsy Blossoms pad. The sentiment is also from an old TAC set called Frogs and Kisses.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Bazzill Vibrant Blue CS, Bazzill Berry Sensation CS, TAC Whimsy Blossoms pad,
Printer, Versafine Onyx Black Ink, Circle Nestabilities, Pop Dots, Bamboo Twine, Copics
Copics:
Frog, Grass - YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01
Lilypad - YG03, YG01, YG21, YG000

It's time for a new challenge at A Random Fan! We have a fun theme to work with this time...

Today I've use the popular Travel Bug image. This cutie is available as a digital stamp at A Random Fan, and also as a rubber stamp at C.C. Designs.
I made a very clean and simple card to show her off... she is colored with Copics and popped up on a simple scene. The clouds are sponged behind her with Tumbled Glass ink, and the road was created with cardstock. The sentiment is from AmyR Sunny Sentiments from C.C. Designs.
