A note for international participants.
I am thrilled to have you play along on the Freebie Friday's and Challenges.  However, due to the high cost of international postage, I ask that you pay the difference.  I will email you an invoice for the Postage amount over what I would have paid for a domestic shipment.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.

Tuesday non-Tutorial - #11

Happy Tuesday Everyone...

Thank you everyone for your well wishes... you really warm my heart.  I am feel much better but this persistent cough is still with me. 

I have an adorable set of stamps to share with you.  I love Elephants... and actually search for stamp sets with these sweet HUGE creatures.  But they are not easy to find.

When I saw these come out from Penny Black.. I was first on the Pre-Order list.. eeeekkkkk....

So excited.. they just arrived on my doorstep yesterday!

Are these adorable or what??!!

 I have not done much coloring, with the exception of crayons.... but I sure had fun with the few Copic markers I have... didn't realize how easy they are to use.  I think I might have found a new addiction.  LOL

Here is my cute little ellie close up!

I really thought it would be incredibly difficult to do the shading you see all the pro's do.  But the pens really do a lot of the work for you.  It is just a matter of practice.. I think. 

And here is the finished card....

Isn't he a cutie pie!!!  I can't wait to get more markers to play...

Happy Crafting....

SPS Daily Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share a card with you today:

I used a cute Penny Black set from the SPS Ebay store called Mimi at Play, and stamped it on some pattern paper from Crate Paper's 6x6 Pretty Party Collection. I planned on leaving it plain, but then ended up sort of coloring it in with Stickles! Lots of sparkle on this card!

Finished off with some assorted MME enamel dots, and a little distress ink on the edges to finish it off.

Thanks for visiting today! Have a wonderful day!

SPS Daily Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share a card with you today:

I used a cute Penny Black set from the SPS Ebay store called Mimi at Play, and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I have been using Copics so much, that I definitely felt a little rusty on my pencil skills! The sentiment is from a Paper Smooches set.

I added some Echo Park For the Record 2 pattern paper from the 6x6 paper pad and some MME enamel dots, then added decorative corners and some stitching with a black gel pen.

Thanks for dropping by! Have a great day!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share (as usual!) a card with you! I pulled out some paper by my favorite manufacturer - Crate Paper, and put together this fun card:

I used a stamped image from a Penny Black clear stamp set called "Bugsy and Owly," and colored it with ProMarkers. The branch is from the same set, stamped in two different colored inks. I then attached the owl with foam adhesive so he pops up a little.

Finished off with some enamel dots, a bit of jute twine, and the sentiment stamped on some Bazzil Classic White Cardstock and attached with a tiny paperclip. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure and come back on Saturday - we have lots of fun things planned to celebrate National Scrapbook Day!!! See you then!
