I Have Some Exciting News!

Hi Everyone, well I have the most exciting news! I was invited to join the Awesome Design Team over at Bugaboo Stamps, and I'm so happy it still feels like a dream!

I love Jodie's images. There is something for everyone in her collection, and they are perfect for my Kards for kids group, where we send cards to Toronto's Sick Kids Hospital.

So today is Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo Stamps, and that means there is a Free digi image for you to try and this week it's Beach Frog, isn't he adorable! Make sure to check out the Catch The Blog Blog to see more inspiration using Beach Frog.

I started with bermuda bay matted with white and the dp is from Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss pad. I coloured Beach Frog with copics and added some crystal effects to his eyes. The 2 pieces of dp across are scraps from my scrap basket. I used a hole punch to cut some dots from the blue and covered them with stickles.

I also used the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC191.

So my new journey begins, and I know it's going to be awesome!

Have a Great Day!
Laurie

RILEY1713, Vacation Time!

Hello, it's challenge time at Riley and Company, and this week Jovita is challenging us to make a Vacation themed card or project!

For my card today, I used waterslide Riley. My Sister and I are taking the kids to a waterpark this week, so this seemed appropriate!

I coloured the image with copics. The card base is gumball green with a layer of white and then a layer of bashful blue embossed with the D-vine swirl EF.  The spotted dp is from Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss and the little tails are from my scrap bin.  I finished it off with a starfish made with an EK punch.

I also used this weeks MOJO Monday sketch, MOJO307.

Please join us in our challenge and upload your vacation creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY1713.

Have a Great Day!

RILEY1613, Spots, Dots and Circles!

Hello, it's time for a Riley and Company Challenge! This week Joy is challenging us to use spots, dots, circles, think round!

I made this card for my Step Daughters Birthday. She was leaving for a camping trip shortly after, so I used Tent Riley. I coloured Riley with copics and paper pieced the tent.

The designer paper has spots and I embossed the white piece with the Winter Trees EF which also has circles. The sentiment 'Just Be You' is one of the newly released Funny Bones stamps.

Please join us in our Challenge and upload your card or project to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY1613.

Have a Great Day!
