TSMONDAY, Late!

Well, better late than never! This is my card for this weeks Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge. This weeks challenge is to be inspired by summer!

Gus Mantastic is totally ready for summer, but I don't know if the other sunbathers are ready for him! lol

I used the May Sketch For You to Try SFYTT for this one.

Gus was coloured with copics and I added some crystal effects to his glasses.

The card base is pacific point, with a layer of crumb cake that I stamped with a SU itty bitty BG stamp in creamy caramel & crumb cake.

I also used some twine and a button that I think is made from shell that I found at the $ store a while ago.

Please join in our challenge and upload your card or project to the Totally Stampalicious Blog.

Have a Great Day!
Laurie

RILEY1112, Riley & Sophie!

Hello, Thanks to Everyone who participated in our Riley and Company Blog Hop last week, and Conratulations to all the blog candy winners!

It's time now for a challenge from the Design Team, and this weeks Hostess is Michele, and she's challenging us to create a card or project using both Riley and Sophie!

My Daughter's 19th Birthday was on Sunday, so I made her card using the new Strike Up The Band stamp which includes Riley, Sophie and some of their new friends! I did change the flag, I just measured the original and cut a piece of cardstock a similar size and trimmed it a bit with scissors to fit.

The image was coloured with copics. It's hard to see, but the blue strip is embossed with a music note EF. The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings set.

The finished card size is 4"x7".

This is the new Parachute Riley. This one will be perfect for the aventurer in your life! My Daughter's friend went parachuting for the first time this week, so I'll be using this for his Birthday card!

And this is the new Mailman Riley. I hunted ll over this week looking for an address book to cover and top with this stamp, but I couldn't find any! I Guess they're hard to come by now that people store everything on there phones! So instead I made this box to hold cards. I found the pattern here, the box finished size is 6" wide by 3" deep.

I started with a piece of crumb cake cardstock and stamped all over randomly with the Travel Sticker Stamps in matching ink.

I have one more sneak peek before the blog hop tonight, this is Blowing Bubbles Riley, another cutie to add to the collection! I coloured Riley with copics, then added crystal effects to the bubbles and sprinkled on some glitter.

The little bubble bottles are from the $ store, two to a package.  I used the sizzix box #2 die, and made 2 boxes. Then the boxes were glued together and covered in dp. I used an oval punch to make the handle, added some ribbon and popped up the image. Now I have a fun little gift.

I hope to see you tonight at the hop, have a great day!
