Bella Sweet Tea

This is my second post today.  I'm here with a book mark I made for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create.   The challenge is Anything Goes but our optional twist is to create a RAK because February 17th is National RAK day!  In case you don't know a RAK is a Random Act of Kindness.  Just a little something to make someone's day maybe a little card for your favorite bank teller or a candy treat for the mailman, in my case I made a book mark for my elderly neighbor who loves to read  :)  

We have a new sponsor this week

 visit Faery Ink Designs 

I used the image Bell Sweet Tea. Colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils, stamp by Mama Elephant - In My Heart set, dies by Spellbinders, MME paper, crinkle ribbon and a vintage WWII era button!

I bought a bag of misc. buttons at Savers (big chain thrift store) and these buttons were in the bag. On the card it's stamped "MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN".  Wow huh?  I hate to use them but I don't think they're really worth anything.  And I know my neighbor, who is 82, will appreciate the extra embellishment.  

Well thanks for stopping by again!  I appreciate the company  ;)  Stop by  613 Avenue Create and see what the other ladies have created this week!  Oh and you can see the awesome RAK I received this week from Sara on the DT!!  She is such an incredibly talented artist!

My Funny Valentine!

Belated Happy Valentine's Day!  Just a quick post to show you my son with the card I made him, which he just loved!  And yes it's green because that's his favorite color  :)   It was a quickie, mainly because he's only 5 and I know it will end up on the floor, in the toy box or under the bed!!  When he's older I'll definitely put more effort into his card but for now that's what he's getting!  LOL!  The image is from Drawn with Character and the sentiment is a stamp from Verve.

I'll be back with my post for this weeks challenge at 613 Avenue Create!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday Everyone!  Well we continue to be bombarded with snow here in the North East!  We can expect another 18" or more in the next couple of days!  Ugh!  Yuck!!  

Well, on a positive note we have a lot going on at 613 Avenue Create this week.  We have 4 new designers and 2 sponsors for this challenge!  We're Anything Goes but this week I have a new challenge in our Create Your Own Challenge Series.

I've used the AliciaBel Minion Girl image

for BINGO I chose the top row of Blue, Yellow, Lime

I used Glossy Accents on the eye of the hat which is difficult to see, colored with Copics and silver Prismacolor pencil, sentiment printed on the computer, dies by MFT and Impression Obsession.

Last one I promise!!  LOL!  Yes this is my 5th project for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create. This Melonheadz Illustrations image is a freebie called...well...Owl!   It is a pre-colored image which I fussy cut, popped up with foam dots and put some Stickles on his heart.  Sentiments are from the Notched Tag set by MFT stamps.  The dies, ink and Berrylicious paper are also from MFT.  Our optional twist this week is to add some doodling which I added at the bottom of the mini milk carton.  I tried to make a heart beat but I'm sure it's not accurate! LOL!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok so here is my 4th Melonheadz Illustrations project for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  Our optional twist this week is to add some doodling which I've done around the edge of the card to match the image.  The image is called Bandaid from  Lori's Medical Bundle.

I used the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart embossing folder, mini sentiment from the Notched Tags set by My Favorite Things, fussy cut the heart and bandaid then popped them up with foam dots.  Stop by 613 Avenue Create for some excellent inspiration form the DT ladies!

Boo boo bear

I'm back with another project for our challenge at  613 Avenue Create and I'm using another Melonheadz Illustrations image called Bear from Lori's Medical Bundle.

I printed the bear on craft CS and colored it with watercolors, fussy cut the image and popped up with foam dots.  I used a pink pigment ink on the edges of the scalloped Spellbinders die.  I added some pale pink MME enamel dots in the corners.

Stop by 613 Avenue Create to see what the DT ladies have created this week, there are some awesome cards!

Life begins after coffee!

Hi again this is post #2 today. Another creation for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create and I've used another  Melonheadz Illustrations freebie.  I've created a straw tag.  I folded down the top of the Spellbinder's die and punched a hole for the straw.  

The sentiment stamp is by Verve Stamps, image colored with Copics, paper by Glitz, Spellbinders/MFT dies and MFT ink pad.  Don't forget to check out our Anything Goes challenge this week at 613 Avenue Create.  Our optional twist this week is to use doodling on your project.

My Sista!

Hi all!

I have several posts for our challenge his week at 613 Avenue Create.  We're Anything Goes with the optional twist to use some doodling on your creation.

 February 6th is National Doodle Day

This week we have one of my favorite sponsors

visit the Melonheadz Illustrations store        

I used the Best Friends freebie which is a pre-colored image.  As soon as I saw this image I thought of my friend Chana who had the crazy idea to start 613 Avenue Create and asked me to join her on a new adventure.  I'm so glad I did!  Chana has been like a sister to me, we are two peas in a pod  :)

I found the perfect sentiment online and I did a little doodling on the tag and image base.  

Come see what the our talented DT ladies have created for this challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  Also check out Melonheadz blog because Nikki offers freebies regularly, she is very generous!  Thanks for stopping by and look for more posts from me using her designs!

Hugs,

Kathi
