Tiddly Inks DT Call, Take 2

There's another DT call going on at Tiddly Inks, and I've decided to throw my hat in the ring one more time. This time I'm using the image Sk8tr. I decided to just go CAS this time, so no frills and fussy stuff on this one. CAS is really more my style, as I enjoy putting the effort into the colouring more than the decorating of the card, although sometimes a blinged up card is nice too.


I coloured this with Copics, and I used coordinating paper from the DCWV Nana's Kids mat stack. I love the bright primary colours for a boy's card and the simplicity of the style. Boys don't necessarily appreciate ribbons and flowers all over their cards. ;-)

Make sure you visit the Tiddly Inks store HERE! Check out some of the New Releases, and Christy has brought back freebies on Tuesdays. If you happen to pick up the freebie, colour it up and share it with everyone over at the TI Facebook page. And make sure you stay up to date with all the goings on by following her BLOG.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my skater dude! We'll see if he gets me on the DT. Either way, I really like this card. It's probably one of my favourites. I would probably keep it, but I have some nephews who have birthdays coming up that might appreciate it.

Mornings Are Overrated by Spunky Tart

Good Morning! A new make from me from Spunky Tart, which is an offshoot of Slinky Tart. These girls are a little more sassy than the Slinkies. Their motto is "Attitude with a capital A". Tamara has drawn up a lot of fabulous new girls and you should go check them out HERE. My project today is with "Mornings Are Overrated".


Heaven knows, I don't function without my coffee. Three or four cups of it. This was a fun one to do and I was so happy that Tamara asked me to colour her up for the shop.

I coloured her with Copics, used a Cricut embossing folder (the name of which I no longer know), and DCWV Retro stack papers. I cut the little coffee cup out with my Cameo and hand wrote "Coffee" with a white gel pen.

I hope you like her! Make sure you check out the new Spunky Tarts and the Slinky Tarts! They are in separate shops for the time being. Thanks for stopping by!

New Release at The East Wind "Lost Lagoon"

Today is Friday, which means another new release at The East Wind. It's a new Aurora image called 'Lost Lagoon'. This was so much fun to colour, but a challenge too with the view from beneath the water.


I coloured this with Copics, then cut out an oval frame from a Spellbinders die and used the negative space to frame the picture. I then matted it onto a Shabby Blue Charms digital paper from Michele R Designs.

There are a couple of challenges going on at The East Wind right now. There is a song inspiration challenge on the Facebook page, and there are twice monthly challenges on the blog. Make sure you check both places out for your chance to win free digital stamps from TEW.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Aurora 'Lost Lagoon'.
